Those accustomed to the bread and butter mechanics of other Capcom fighters are in for a steep learning curve that will be very unrewarding until fundamentals are ingrained in muscle memory. Madness ensues quickly, and things get very flashy and exciting, very quickly. New combos and super arts take advantage of this and often have combos involving both combatants. The new additions to the fighting engine largely revolve around how you’re now fighting on two person teams. The Tekken characters feel more akin to Tekken character models wrapped around fighters that basically act like archetype Street Fighter combatants.

Unfortunately this can leave fans of the Tekken series alienated. While drawing heavily from SF4, Street Fighter X Tekken tries hard to stake its claim to an original (albeit still Street Fighter inspired) fighting game experience. At SFxT’s worst it feels like a game that is just missing its final polish, and stumbles because of it. At its very best Street Fighter X Tekken is a feature packed title that tries very hard to please, and for the most part does. Local multiplayer with four people on two teams is unlike any fighting game experience I’ve had. Capcom and the anxiety of having to switch out characters, while not opening yourself up to punishment keep you on the absolute edge of your seat. The juggle mechanic keeps intensity high with long running combos more commonly seen in Marvel Vs. Visual effects are off-the-wall and leave you feeling the excitement and tension that is needed in a fighting game. The cast of characters is gigantic, the story is better left forgotten, and there’s extreme gameplay depth with a new juggling system tastefully borrowed and modified from the Tekken series. The modified Street Fighter 4 engine SFxT runs on is mostly smooth, but entirely beautiful. With six buttons for controls, 2D environments, and Hadokens, SFxT is a turbo charged Street Fighter game that will meet all expectations of the long established series – initially. Firstly, don’t let the title of this game confuse you – Street Fighter X Tekken is solely a Street Fighter game.
