Vita is getting 12 exclusive fighters for SFxT

2/21/12 4:00pm

In honor of the 25th anniversary of Street Fighter and the launch of the Vita tonight, Capcom has put out an official press release to let everyone know that Street Fighter X Tekken is going to be a big deal on the Vita. How big? Well it looks like Vita owners are going to have access to over a dozen characters that the rest of us home consoles schmucks won't. Now it reads in the press release that

"the retail version of Street Fighter X Tekken will be the only disc-based version consumers will need to own and all future upgrades will come from post-launch DLC".

Well we previously saw a leaked DLC content list that did not include any additional characters. So the Vita version will be the only version to feature Blanka, Cody, Dudley, Elena, Guy and Sakura from Street Fighter and Alisa Bosconovitch, Bryan Fury, Christie Monteiro, Jack, Lars Alexandersson and Lei Wulong from Tekken. At least based on what we know at this point. Elena and Dudley are my Third Strike characters?! Well doesn't that suck...

I wonder if they will truly be "exclusives" when some new edition of the disk comes out.

Why do i have a feeling the "post-launch DLC" will come out 2 hours later?

Well not quite happy about this news. Most of those additional characters I don't care for that much, but I like having every playable character in the game. Sorry Sony still not buying the Vita. Capcom will release these characters as DLC sometime.

hmm, part of me feals these characters will be added later(eithier through dlc or second edition) I mean honestly 1 or 2 exclusive characters is okay but 12 is unrealistic ( exspecially since most people would rather play a fighting game on a tv).

That's cute. Capcom thinks that they alone can help boost the Vita's sale. XD

I'll just wait for that "post-launch DLC", thank you. Or the SFxT v2, whichever comes first.

it's kind of hard to buy a game that will come relatively incomplete, some may call these characters extra content but when you announce such popular characters to be DLC it makes you wonder why werent they included in the first place, sorry capcom but i got tired of your money grubbing ways the day i had to choose between heat or 3 meals a day
