Street Fighter x Tekken
Is a 2D Fighter which Brings two of the Greatest Fighting game franchises and pits them together Via Capcom. 19 Characters are carried over from each
respective game sporting a total of 39 Characters. The PS3 Version brings 4more characters like Pacman in a Mokujin Robot, and Mega man which Cameos himself on the Cover of his Original Games.
Presentation:
SF x Tekken Like standard fighters offers its arcade mode leading to a boss battle,
Trials from the SF series for all Characters, and a mission mode where you must win fights with set conditions. The fight request option from SF4 also finds it's way into the game allowing to
you play the arcade mode while searching for an Online Match.
Graphics:
This Game looks amazing using the Engine offered in SF4 with an overall coat of paint to keep things updated with the times. Colors are vibrant, special moves, and super moves look amazing. The over the top Visuals you should expect from a SF title.
Gameplay:
With some worries of how this crossover would play, worry not as far as the fighting
goes this game has it spot on. Bringing the overall feel of a SF game, and adding some very welcoming additions, like manual throws, and the tag system via the Tekken series. The ability to tag your character in during a combo, and charge up certain special attacks into supers w/o using your cross gauge is also a great addition. Pandora Mode the Last resort which last about 7
seconds in a Close fight gives you infinite Cross gauge to help with the match. The last addition is the gem system which offers buffs to your characters during matches such as a power boost or defense boost when certain requirements are met.
Sound:
The soundtrack is tradition SF, That techno feel which is nothing to complain about. The voice acting for characters are very well done giving you the option to English, or Japanese. The one True Complaint I have about the game is during online play the sound tends to cut in and out, which sometimes effects the way people play, The feel of not getting feedback on attacks.
Closing Comments:
SF x Tekken is a Great game and Very Fun to Play. The transition of Tekken
Characters to the SF world is great, and the Tekken characters sometimes even overshadowing the SF characters. Fans of the SF series are sure to be interested in this game, and fans of the Tekken series should as well.
Verdict:
I'm Giving Street Fighter x Tekken a 9.3/10 a Great game with some problems online,
and basic game modes, But still a Gem in any one's Collection.
