Bear with this Street Fighter X Tekken trailer from Gamescom, it’s pretty useful
0I’m saying this because the first half of this new trailer is a breakdown of SFxT‘s core mechanics. From the looks of it, Capcom is doing a fine job of blending the disparate gameplay styles of Street Fighter and Tekken. Here, you have explanations for basic tagging, switch cancels, launchers, basic juggles, and the supposed centerpiece of the game, the Cross Assault. That last item has both your characters enter the screen and you control them alternately instead of simultaneously as opposed to Marvel VS Capcom‘s Duo Team Attack, which I’ve noticed has the exact same input to initiate. And remember those tag-based supers we saw in the prototype gameplay footage from last year’s SDCC? They’ve been fully integrated into the game as Cross Arts.
New Street Fighter X Tekken trailers have a bit of Poison in them
Capcom just hoisted two new Street Fighter X Tekken trailers for this year’s San Diego Comic Con. Of course, the new trailers include the latest spate of character reveals. In this batch, we have Dhalsim and the ever gender-bending Poison for the Street Fighter side. Poison is a particularly special case, as this marks her second appearance as a playable character in a fighting game since Final Fight Revenge in 1999. Tekken‘s latest representatives to be revealed are Yoshimitsu, clad in his Tekken 3 armor, and British boxer Steve Fox.
For a closer look at how the new combatants, along with some of the previously revealed ones play, hit the jump for a second gameplay trailer. Look! Ken got his Shippuu Jinrai Kyaku back! (more…)
More Info on Street Fighter x Tekken
1
We finally have some new info regarding Capcom’s latest entry in its long line of crossover fighting games, Street Fighter x Tekken. Announced last year at the San Diego Comic Con, the only things we’ve been treated to so far are two nearly identical gameplay demos and a whole lot of trolling between Yoshinori Ono (SF producer) and Katsuhiro Harada (Tekken series director). Well, Capcom unveiled some new tidbits and a good amount of media from the game at their recent Captivate press event. Hit the jump for screens and info.
Family Guy x Street Fighter II
1Love it or hate it, a large part of Family Guy’s humor is built on cutaways and non-sequiturs with heavy pop culture (and sometimes historical) references. As you can see here, they’ve taken a stab at referencing Street Fighter II, which in my opinion is pretty spot-on. The moves, animation, and sound effects are mostly faithful to the material they’re referencing. The Hundred Hand Slap at the end may not be exactly how it was in the game, but that’s just me nitpicking.

Real Life Ultra Combos
0
If you haven’t heard of the Thousand Pounds action company before, now might be a good time actually start paying attention. What we have here are two videos featuring improvised Ultra Combos. Yep, they’re not live-action recreations of the Ultras from Super Street Fighter IV, but sweetly choreographed and shot original compositions. It’s rather mind-boggling to think that these two short clips have better fight choreography and camera work than the two Hollywood-produced Street Fighter movies combined. Check them out right after the jump. (more…)
