According to Event Hubs, Capcom producer Yoshinori Ono recently dropped a fairly sizable bomb on attendees of the company's "Street Fighter Mania!: SSFIV and Beyond" panel at Comic-Con: Street Fighter X Tekken. The oft-rumored project will be developed by Capcom using the Street Fighter IV engine (only with two-fighter tag team battles), and will feature a number of fighters from Namco's similarly successful fighting franchise, including Kazuya and Nina Williams.
But that's not all! Ono also revealed that Namco Bandai would be developing Tekken X Street Fighter, which will be developed in-house at Tekken, and spearheaded by long-time franchise producer Katsuhiro Harada. Both titles will be released for 360 and PS3, though according to a cheeky slide at the end of the presentation, the current release window is "not for a while!" Update: Now with video!

@Lerkero I agree. I'd rather have a new SNK vs Capcom, but since the latest KOF was such a FPOS... well... let's say it didn't help. Still, this SF vs Tekken thing was a really pleasant surprise. Much better than a new powerstone game, that's for sure (that was rumored too)

So are all relevant fighting games eventually going to have crossover titles with Streetfighter?

Ed boon Claimed he tried getting Street Fighter to fight Mortal Kombat, and settled with DC when that didn't pan out.

It had to happen at some point. Culturally, these are the only two fighters that register with a mainstream audience. I can see it being massive and the SFIV-stylings being more popular than the realism of Tekken's.

Honestly Capcom.. would it kill you to make a new Breath of Fire? SSF4, MvC3, BB:CS and KOFXIII... I think I have enough fighters to last me for a good while.

Yeah because that's balanced. SF has projectiles and Tekken doesn't. Also were those reactions in the video even slightly needed? As if those people just didn't expect SF4. "OH MY GOD! HE DID A SUPER!"

This is ok, but a Virtua Fighter vs Tekken game would've made sense because they're fully compatible and neither of them use projectile attacks like most SF characters. A SEGA vs Capcom game would be nice or maybe Nintendo vs SEGA for a smash bro-ish brawl or Arc System Works vs Capcom or Capcom vs Namco or SEGA vs Namco or Arc System Works vs SNK...

@Bro
Virtua Fighter vs tekken would have made a ALOT more sense actually.. And Justice League vs Streetfighter would have been a great fighter as well since Sf put up a fight against the cheap as can be X-men.. Maybe even Marvel vs DC would be alright.

How are we pronouncing this? Is it Street Fighter "cross" Tekken?
Posted: Jul 24th 2010 11:07PM Shaquiel Harris said
I don't understand how people don't want this. Yes these fighters are different. Streetfighter has characters that use projectiles and No characters besides devil jin from what i believe don't use any from tekken. But as you saw, kazuya dashed straight through it making projectile spammers obsolete(which was somewhat cheap i won't lie). Im a streetfighter fan so ill be getting the capcom made one but i do like tekken as well and as long as the fighting looks as balanced as it does, this will be a successful game. Also hoping Jin/Kazuya/ hehachi's dragon uppercut is the same as shoryuken input in this game. And besides That Balrog from sf doesn't use projectiles and he's top-tier in sf4 and most other sf's he's in. Also fei- long,Vega,Yun,Yang,Alex,Dudley,..You guy's think Ryu/Ken and say the game will be unfair because of Hadoukens..

Hated Capcom vs Snk.. THAT was a waste of a collab.. and don't even TRY to say it was better than any marvel/Capcom crossover.

Aftermath of this panel afterwards: piss and crap smell all over the place. I heard Capcom and Namco staff was giving away free underwear for all those that couldn't contained themselves after the gameplay demo on display.

Ugh, lame. Tekken is such a dull fighter, at least in terms of story and character. Hell, I can't even name one Tekken fighter. There are so many other franchises I see more interesting.
Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat
Street Fighter vs Dead or Alive
Street Fighter vs Killer Instinct (yeah, I went there).
Anyone else concerned that this new burst of Street Fighter games is going to over-saturate the franchise again and create mass-boredom - then force us to wait an extended period of time for a sequel... ya, me too.

@Shaquiel Harris: CvS2 was a better game than 3S. I also like it more than Marvel, but those are different games.
CvS2 is also MUCH better than TvC.

i enjoyed tekken 6 far more then i enjoyed the new street fighters. the fighting is SO much better in tekken 6, the graphics are SO much better in tekken 6, the characters, the unlockables, the extensive customization, the story mode made me want to finish it. even though i couldn't. i'm not really sure how these two games can match up unless they greatly upgrade on, or extremely downgrade the other.

Yeah. It's weird they decided to not do Namco vs. Capcom. Hopefully, there will still be a few surprises...LIKE THE GIRL FROM R:RACING EVOLUTION.
