Tekken is only ever so slightly 3D though (or at least was when I last played it). Its not in 3D in the same manner as say Soul Calibur where you have full control of the characters movement. It's mostly still side on but with a sidestep really.

My favourite 3D fighter is WCW vs. NWO Revenge.

After just reading your post in the other thread that you like to play as the fat guys, it makes sense that you would love an American wrestling game - it must be fat fighters heaven in the character select screen! :D

So we have to wait TWO years for this? Still, with Marvel vs Capcom 3 coming out soon, it's probably for the best.

Maybe they really want to get across that the IV-series is over and they are focussing on reusing IV in every way possible instead. ;)

Both the games could be good. It will be interesting to see what Capcom and Namco do with a licence to play around with their games. The Tekken lot, in particular, must be slightly bored given how little the game has moved on since Tekken 3 (Tekken 4's changes being anomalous). I like Tekken, but 5, 5DR, 6 and 6BR are quite similar games to the non-expert player. This is a chance to mess with the game/engine and introduce lots of other elements.

Likewise, the Capcom trailer looks like it has an expanded juggle engine (to make it a bit more Tekkeny I guess). SF4 with wall juggles could be fun.

I'm shallow enough to be worried how Nina Williams will fare after a round against the SFIV character design ugly stick. Namco's take on the characters could be interesting...

Disclaimer: I love the hell out of SFIV, but I still think it's grotesquely unattractive most of the time.

You're blind baby you're blind from the facts.

Am I missing something or has Nina not already been hit with the Street Fighter stick in the gameplay video?

Haha I kid I kid! Though I think it's a shame you've not enjoyed them; as i'm sure Jonster and JLM would back me up in saying that Virtua Fighter is one of the lovliest fighters ever created! Should Sega ever decide to do another home VF game, I'd implore all of you lobby dudes to give it a whirl, it's fantastic :wub:

Just posting to back dood up here, VF5 is indeed lovely and I miss it although I've no reason not to play it really :(

Not sure if this has been posted before but they showed an early Ryu model from Tekken x Street Fighter. Not sure why, as it looks like shit right now.

Agreed. They've even admitted that his clothing is just Paul Phoenix's. I don't know why they're showing such early assets.

cmon bob spill the beans son!

Well, there was indeed *something* regarding Street Fighter x Tekken at Gamescom, but it isn't what you or anyone would have expected. There wasn't a Capcom stand as we already knew, and Namco wasn't showing it at their stand. However, there were flyers being handed out on the first day which invited everyone to come to a special SFxTK presentation, the European Debut as it says on the flyer, at 2 o'clock in one of the assembly halls with the doors opening at 1:

sfxtkinvite.jpg

It also says that every attendee would receive a special gift.

We went there well before 1 o'clock and discovered the longest line in the history of mankind ever, it didn't even fit on two photos:

SFxTKline1.jpg

start of the line at the right and it continues on to the left into the below photo:

SFxTKline2.jpg

And from the above photo it continued on into a hallway.

At 1 some people were let inside, and the rest of us were left waiting outside. Eventually it was getting close to 2 o'clock and the line was still there, and the doors hadn't opened anymore. Eventually some German dude came outside with a megaphone and said the assembly hall was full and if we could all kindly piss off. Turns out that the assembly hall was already filled with mostly press well before 1, and even though they could see with their own damned eyes that the hundreds of people standing outside were never ever going to fit inside, they left us standing there for an hour before deciding that maybe they should inform us that it wasn't going to happen. Later I heard that Ono had also invited people to come via his Twitter, so fans were already lining up since 11 o'clock in the morning which meant that everybody who was invited through the flyers they were handing out didn't stand a chance of ever getting in.

Disappointed we left to play reach one more time (Firefight is awesome in Reach, but more about that in another thread)and I was massively disappointed that I didn't get to see the presentation and also that I let all the Street Fighter forumites on rllmuk down :(

However, I'm not one to give up that easily and back at the hotel I managed to get all the info and the t-shirts they were handing out from a drunk games journo! As it turns out, the way the journo told me, the assembly hall was already full well before 1 o'clock. The gift referred to in the flyer was one of two t-shirts that were being handed out, at the entrance they asked people whether they preferred Tekken or Street Fighter. If you preferred Street Fighter you would get this t-shirt:

sfxtkboth.jpg

If you preferred Tekken you would get this one:

tkxsfboth.jpg

Both straight from my suitcase as you can see :P

The journo I met at the hotel managed to get both and now they're mine. I only care about the Street Fighter one of course, but it's nice having both :) The journo told me that they had actors dressed as Ryu and the guy from Tekken performing a fight, and just when Ryu appeared to lose, Yoshinori Ono ran out onto the stage dressed as Chun-Li! Wtf! Ono holds down the Tekken dude so Ryu can perform his finishing Hadoken. Then Ono starts shouting, asking where Harada (producer of Tekken) is, and phones him up. They show on the screen that Harada, as he answers his phone, is having dinner with Chun-Li and that chick from Tekken - random or what? :lol:

Anyway you can see all that here, a youtube vid one of my friends linked me to, you can skip to 7:57 to see Ono dressed as Chun-Li:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNefIKPWPzM

iirc, after the end of this vid Harada comes out on stage and they show similar gameplay footage of what was shown earlier, with Ryu and the Tekken dude fighting and each performing a super move.

At the start of the show when everybody received either a Tekken or SF shirt, everyone was asked to put it on and stand to one side of the hall. The Tekken fans on the left, the SF fans on the right. After the presentation they threw balls into the audience, and whoever caught them was invited on stage to play either SSFIV or Tekken 6, depending on which t-shirt you were wearing. They held a tournament but I can't remember what the winner got as a prize.

And that was basically it for SFxTK at Gamescom, but at least I did manage to get my t-shirt :)

Nice write up Mr Gerbik. it sounds like the chaps organising this read the same manual as the SvB guys.

One more trailer and some info.

Capcom has announced the addition of six characters to the Street Fighter x Tekken roster.

Ken, Guile and Abel join from the Street Fighter series. On the Tekken side, King, Marduk and Bob make the cut.

They sit alongside Ryu, Chun-Li, Kazuya and Nina Williams, who were previously announced.

The crossover fighting game is due out on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2012.

SFxT features a real-time tag battle system that allows players to fight as a team of two and switch between characters by simultaneously pressing medium punch and medium kick.

The game system is based on the 2.5D Street Fighter IV, with eight way movement and 3D characters battling on a 2D plane.

Tekken characters have been reworked so they play on the 2D plane with six attack buttons, although they can still be played with the traditional Tekken four button system.

Indeed many long-standing Tekken combos appear in the game, including Kazuya's Demon's Wrath combo.

Each character has a launcher attack, currently triggered by pressing fierce punch and fierce kick simultaneously – although this is subject to change.

At the Captivate conference last week Capcom revealed a liquid motif for Street Fighter x Tekken.

"This is a Capcom game, make no mistake," producer Yoshinori Ono said. "It's going to feel more Capcom-ey than your standard Tekken, but you will be able to do some of these inputs you're familiar with. This is a nod we're giving to the Tekken fans to make it easier for them to get into the game and enjoy themselves."

Ono promised to reveal "large chunks of characters" at forthcoming game shows. Capcom will reveal Chun-Li and Bob's thematic partners at E3 in June.
