Capcom and Namco have unveiled Street Fighter x Tekken, including spectacular gameplay scenes visible below, and have also announced Tekken x Street Fighter.

The announcement, already rumoured for some days, was made at Comic-Con as anticipated:

Fans seem to be delighted, although Tekken fans may be disappointed to see that both gameplay and character design are 100% Street Fighter 4 – fortunately they need not worry, as Namco is developing Tekken x Street Fighter as well, using the 3D fighting engine and graphical style of Tekken. Details of this have yet to be released.

    Why couldn't it have Tekken 6 level 3D graphics!? Shouldn't each next game be better?

    @Darkrockslizer Tekken x Street Fighter is going to have Tekken 6 graphics. It's in the article.

    It will have Tekken 6 level 3D graphics, on the Namco Version!
    There will be 2 games, in 2 different engines. This is the Street Fighter IV engine version.

    Mutually beneficial competition is fine. I want both of them. This is kind of a chance for me to get into Street Fighter for once.

    "Tekken fans may be disappointed to see that both gameplay and character design are 100% Street Fighter 4"

    yeah i would have to agree on this.

    as a long term Tekken fan, i was never sold on SFIV graphic style and gameplay.

    i picked up SSFIV and found it meh... i love 3rd strike though.

    Interesting - have two games that are (for the most part) exactly the same but play completely different at the same time. I guess ppl wondering how Tekken Characters handle in 2D would get the Capcom version or rent it at least and ppl wondering how the Street Fighter Characters handle in 3D would get the Namco version and some will get both. Ingenious really. Also i liked the little Megaman X Pacman at the end of the first video =D

    Oh god, the tekken characters look so insanely bad with that street fighter engine..

    Aren't the tekken's superior in the graphics engines for that matter? Why the hell would they use the street fighter one..

    I guess for the side scrolling no 3-d aspect eh... But how the hell would they change characters like Yoshimitsu and and King..

    Don't know..

    Two franchises that are both pretty much on a love/hate relationship with the genre if not gamers as a whole... and by two well known Companies (perhaps even of which fall under "favorites", for some). At least they're doing it in an appealing way. Fans of one but not the other can turn towards the style of the franchise they prefer, so hopefully both versions will be multi-platform, as well (didn't see any direct mention of platform-release-anticipations and/or confirmations).

    When you think about it though, the Street Fighter will likely not be so manly looking on Tekken x Street Fighter....Poor Lili, though...and Xiaoyu....and Asuka since they're going to take her biceps to extreme levels, probably.

    great idea but is it really necessary to be having two games with the same premise except one with 3d and other 2d?

    this is just like when capcom vs snk then SNK made snk vs capcom...

    neither games had good longevity.

    Well, the premise of one is Tekken characters in a Street Fighter game, and the premise of the other is Street Fighter characters in a Tekken game. Since both series' games play quite differently, I'd say there's more than just the 2D/3D difference.

    I once herd a rumor of a Virtua Fighter Vs Tekken crossover.
    BUT SCREW THAT WE HAVE THIS INSTEAD! THIS IS OVER 9000 TIMES BETTER THAN THAT...ewww... now that I think about it... I don't want to... it's just too ugly.

    Tekken and VF wouldn't mix.

    Thank god they went with Tekken and Street Fighter. Both are arcade button mashers, unlike technical Virtua Fighter. I would hate to see them simplify VF's engine more than they did in VF4Evo just so it's similar to Tekken's.

    Not to mention, even though Tekken has lots more characters than VF, all of them have short movelists, just like in Street Fighter.
    If they took out 70% of moves of every VF character just so the amount of moves per character is the same for every one, that would suck hard.

    Yes, I do prefer the much more complex and demanding VF to one-dimensional, shallow Tekken.

    Wow, pretentious much?

    I agree Tekken isn't the deepest game, but it can be and is played at a competetive level.

    More so for SSFIV.

    lol another fanboi talking out of his ass who probably hasn't played more than 1 Tekken to compare, I've played all of them & while what you said might have been somewhat true 3 games ago Tekken has long overtaken VF in complexity, and always did in fun factor.

    Feel free to thumb me down too.

    Really? So every character in Tekken is balanced now?

    Both VF and Tekken have their good points which I can no longer say for SF since they went the ugly route in both gameplay and looks IMO...

    Street Fighter characters with a 4 button control scheme!? Sounds stupid. The graphics engine differences I can get (though it's a question mark from a sales perspective), but control scheme differences on two completely different games is asking for problems.

    Regardless it's good for Tekken fans, becuase the Street Fighter 4 engine look to be lacking when it comes to rendering nice looking female characters(Cammy being the major exception). I disappointed they didn't re-do Chun-Li's design considering she looks real good in Capcom VS Marvel 3.

    I also wondering how the different control schemes of the two franchises are are going to be managed.

    I'm assuming that Tekken characters(lacking fireballs)can dash under them.

    There's a lot of reasons to be disappointed with the styles for these games.

    It's an obvious attempt to shameless cash-in from both, and a desperate move on Namco's part, considering their current fortunes.

    No change in the graphical style (unlike MvC3), gameplay looks to be extremely similar as well, no real innovation here.

    It's just like adding characters to SFIV. Kinda disappointing.

    sf4 can be quite versatile with different characters but tekken is so limited to its own gameplay
