There will be no Super Street Fighter X Tekken

11/12/11 5:20pm

During a discussion with Gamasutra, Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono said something that many Capcom and fighting game fans have been wanting to hear for a while now, which is the fact that there will be retail update for Street Fighter X Tekken. 

"I would say that you don't really need to worry about a new version of the game coming out. If we choose to update the game, it will be done in the same fashion as Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition."

While, this means that we won't be seeing a full retail overhaul like Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3, updates for the game released as discounted DLC pack like Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition is still very likely, which is as it should be. Does this mean that we are about to enter a new golden age, where gamers can buy a Capcom fighter with the confidence that they are buying the definitive retail version? Probably not. But that's not going to stop me from basking in the glory of this announcement for just a while longer.

Oh and he also said that the game will be using a brand-new netcode, rather than recycling the codes from UMvC3 or SSFIV: AE, but what improvements that this new code will bring is still a secret at this time. As long as it improves the gameplay, I'm all for it!

I will believe this when it happened. They said the same thing about Marvel vs Capcom 3. The promised the character balanced and spectator mode through DLC. They lied. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

There's not going to be a new version of the game... Let's see who is making it... Oh Capcom. Just like they said there wouldn't be a new version of SF4 or MvC3. So when they say something just be wary of the knife hidden in their other hand.

No, seriously there IS a game called Tekken X Street Fighter and it will be developed by Namco. Check the initial press releases for Street Fighter X Tekken, they said it then that they would be making one. Whether it's announced the day after or four months later like Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 you know it's coming...

Tekken X Street Fighter is a completely different game with it's own artstyle, gameplay style, and roster. SFXT will be a 2D fighter in the vein of Street Fighter, while TXSF will be (as you said) developed by Namco and will be a 3D fighter made to play like a Tekken game and the story will and art will reflect the Tekken series as well. I hope that clears things up a bit.

I'm sure this is solely because Namco is in it too.
