Street Fighter X Tekken: January character reveals

/

asuka-chan The roster just keeps on growing. Here's a new trailer showing off even more characters that will be included in this fighting game crossover. Some of the characters in this trailer were already teased and revealed but we get to see proper gameplay foootage for each of em.

So we got Rufus and Zangief as the first team to be featured. When Street Fighter IV and Tekken 6 came out, each fighting game had their own corpulent character added to their roster and now we'll get to see them face off to prove which of them is fatter~ I mean better.

Next up we have the schoolgirl rivals from Tekken, Lily and Asuka. Is it just me or does Asuka look a little sluttier than usual. Capcom, oh you.

After that we got Barlog and Vega (M. Bison and Balrog respectively for you Japanese Stree Fighter name purists out there). Similar to the case of Rufus and Bob for king of the fatties, the infamous dirty boxer from Street Fighter gets a chance to face off against the sly Steve Fox.

I'm sure all of you have been waiting for this. Paul and Law finally get revealed! No game with the Tekken name would be right without these two awesome goofballs in it.

Last but not least, the trailer features, my newest favorite Street Fighter character, Juri facing off against Xiaoyu.

I noticed with the character art that a dark version with glowing red eyes were behind each of the teams that were revealed, probably for the Pandora system that the game has. Also, notice during the Balrog/Vega segment that they were beating on Raven from Tekken? I wonder when he gets his own reveal.

The video ends with short gameplay footage of a version Street Fighter x Tekken being developed for the PlayStation Vita and had 2 unique characters named Toro and Kuro. Cats with Ryu style bandanas. I only recognize them from forum emoticons but don't really know where they originally came from. That's good fan service I guess. After that, we see silhouettes of two characters, one of which is obviously Pac-Man while a familiar 8-bit tune rings in the background.

M. Bison and Xiaoyu confirmed for Street Fighter x Tekken

/

Bison Xiaoyu The evil mastermind behind Shadaloo and the Chinese girl who speaks fluent Japanese are going to be in the Capcom Namco crossover fighting game, Street Fighter x Tekken.

I saw this screenshot on my Facebook timeline from Gametrailers.com's Facebook page. Funny Bison and Xiaoyu aren't even the characters on screen, instead we got Dr. Wily~ I mean old man Heihachi giving Dhalsim a huge elbow to the face. Dhalsim looks to be in a lot of pain.

Above the life bar HUD you can see the character icons. We got Xiaoyu with Heihachi and M. Bison with Dhalsim in a standard Tekken vs Street Fighter round.

Finally - Street Fighter x Tekken Asuka Reveal

/

SFxT Asuka Kazama After half a year since it was teased at the end of the E3 2011 trailer, Asuka Kazama finally gets revealed for the roster of Street Fighter x Tekken.

Now it's just a cinematic trailer with Chun-Li and Cammy fighting Asuka and Lily. Fan service is present in this cross-over catfight. Capcom has slowed down with these trailers, I hope they start releasing more character reveals soon if there are any left.

Street Fighter x Tekken TGS Tekken Character Teaser

/

Here's the other Street Fighter x Tekken Tokyo Game Show character teaser, this time for the Tekken side.

Now this is an easy one, the white glove with the red stripes and the frilly shirt gives it away. It's Emilie de Rochefort aka Lili, that rich little blonde girl who kicks total ass. I can't wait to see what moves she's got over on the Capcom fighting game engine side of things.
