Both Capcom’s Street Fighter and Namco-Bandai’s Tekken have had legions of fans, across the globe, for decades now. Followers of either one are as devout as any football, hockey or basketball fan, but what if the two worlds were to collide? Ultimately they are both arcade style beat-em-ups, but devotees would argue that is where the similarity stops. So with the imminent arrival of Capcom’s Street Fighter X Tekken, the greatest war in the history of fighting games is about to commence!
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."
