Street Fighter X Tekken is great! Great visuals, competitive gameplay, and multitude of fan favorites characters from two of the biggest fighting game franchises. The controversial GEM system does not add much to the table, and does not break the balance of the game, and you might find yourself ignoring it all together, except for the annoying character flashes. Other than that this is a game that will be here for a while, and will have its weight on pro tournaments, even though we are not sure how, and if, the GEM syetm will be adopted by pro players.
Or it's about to leave the storefront like another Capcom title.
With Street Fighter 6 now upon us, it's time to look back at some classic Street Fighter titles, beginning with Street Fighter X Tekken.
It was a cool gamble imo. In reality, everyone were waiting for Namco version, Tekken X Street Fighter.
What killed this game was their planned reliance on GaaS with the whole gem system. It made little sense and made the game extremely unbalanced. Not to mention the unbalance of most of the characters, especially on the Tekken side
Ahhh the game that Capcom had DLC on the disc on release yet you had to pay to unlock it
VGChartz's Daniel Parker: "Tekken and Street Fighter - two giants of the head-to-head fighting genre. A clashing of decades-old titans that was once thought to be a dream matchup that would never happen. It ignited a flame of excitement that quickly fizzled out and became a cautionary tale for game developers."
