I was iffy on the gems, but they don't honestly seem that bad (obviously we can optionally use them, but lets be honest, online you're gonna HAVE to use gems), they have criteria and they only last a certain amount of time. Besides, it seems the really good gems require an activation of Pandora, I'm ok with a huge risk/huge reward system.

I can see us having a LOT of fun with this.
2v2 Scramble Scorehero battles.
I'll preorder very soon.

I basically agree with everything here, except I'm still not sold. 123 combos are lame as hell, but the "do a combo that actually takes skill, spend a meter to call your partner in and do another combo that actually takes skill" aspect is interesting and seems like a lot of fun. I'm glad they took out the free ABCC -> partner -> ABCC shit.
I still don't like gems. Not even a tiny bit. Reminds me too much of perks and killstreaks. I don't think anyone that is able to block 5 of my attacks should get a damage boost because of it. That just inspires more people to turtle and lame you out. Oh well. If I get it, I'll learn to deal I suppose. Fighting games should stick to life bars and meter bars and very little else, IMO.
Scramble mode looks fun for like 10 minutes. I've played an online version of SFxX-men and it had what was basically scramble mode which boiled down to either both members of the team spamming projectiles and then supers if you got close, or both spamming berserker-barage type attacks so that you were basically always in block stun until you died. Fighting games are more focused on balance, now, so that might be remedied, but I still don't see it as being a mode that could be competitive in any way. Not that I'm trying to be, but losing to random shit is only funny for so long.
The only interesting characters on the roster for me are on the Tekken side because I've never played them. I'm not a Rolento fanboy and have zero desire to play the tranny now that I've seen a lot of her gameplay, so everyone else is basically a repeat. I main Dudley and Rose in AE because I don't like much of the other cast members, so neither of them being there colors me even less interested. It is said on the leak list that a Dudley / Elena team will be released, though. And if that's true, I'll pre-order. Hahaha. |

This is pretty much the case for me, too.
I kind of like Cody, and Poison might be cool since she seems like Terry Bogard, but that's kinda it. Elena might be cool, but I never really played her in SF3.
I just wanted Alex ;_;

For once in my life, I am SO glad to be getting the version without the extra characters.
Every time I see that pic of megaman, I want to cry. Even worse are his cheesy lines that he says during the match.
Capcom just officially trolled the entire fighting game community.

Trying to understand capcom these days is really hard for me, it's like they're trying their hardest to make sure this isn't a tournament worthy game, then adding a bunch of shit aimed almost directly at FGC, like button check at charecter select screen, pause prevention, and the "tournament mode" patch. idk man, idk . At least the game still looks fun as hell despite all the trolling.

The funny part? This was apparently Inafune's idea at least a year ago. I can see how it would kind of sting now though, with the timing and all.

It's like this is the game where Capcom decided to throw in all of their ideas. There's stuff for just about everyone. The stuff you mentioned for the hardcore players, and then things for newcomers like tutorials, customization (through colors and ~GEMS~), the whole easy input/macros thing, and then even good ideas in general like the extra modes and stuff like online training mode.
The problem is that a lot of the main attractions for the newcomers are just bad ideas and in the end are crutches that won't help them with anything else, and it won't stop them from finding something to complain about once they realize they can't whine about shit like SHORYUKEN MOTIONS ARE AN ELITIST ENTRY BARRIER anymore while everyone else sighs because it makes the rest of the game look like a joke piled under a bunch of mechanics no one wants.

The thing that terrifies me the most is that Ono actually said that he thinks that the gem idea or "ways to make the same character different for each person" is going to be the path that he continues down from this point onward.
That's fucking scary. |

its not the worst of ideas but gems are sort of the worst way to go about it
stuff like grooves/arcanas/moons are a great way to have different versions of characters for all kinds of things

I second that motion, grooves made CvS2 sooooooo good. |

Thirded. I loved grooves, although I only every used the one that you could roll in.... and I sucked something awful at CvS2.
Gems just seem like they're a bi-product idea from the same minds that thought Wesker's glasses were a good move. Everyone in SFxT might as well be wearing sunglasses. |

it seems like it's kind of gone back around to looking somewhat enjoyable since pandora/gems/cross assault look pretty inconsequential
hell if gems were just the default loadouts I'd almost like the idea of straight up speed/damage/defense boost choices when you pick characters (although I still think it's shit tier when it comes to the idea of 'customization')
the only remaining problems are that visually and soundtrack-wise the game is ugly as FUCK (why is everyone greasy??) and that apart from combos the game speed is literally sf4 but that could change once people start figuring out how it all works
so far poison is the only character I really think I'll play since she's like Terry. maybe hwoararararang since he reminds me of Kim in some ways
also the way things are looking we might be expecting a good amount of DLC down the line which is good or bad depending on how you look at things

The Level Up Your Game video that came out today made this game a buy for me. Went out and pre-ordered it today. The Tekken characters and their ridiculous combos just look so incredibly creative. Like Flannel, Poison is the only one that I want to play around with at all. Juri / Rufus / Akuma MIGHT be interesting... Oh well. At least I have a whole side of the cast I've never played before (except Julia, who is just Yun and Yang combined). =P
Looking forward to some SH 2v2s online! |

| Quote: | The PlayStation Vita version of Street Fighter x Tekken won't make it out alongside the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions on March 8. Capcom said today that Vita owners will have to wait until Fall.
But portable players can look forward to some big bonuses. The Vita version will have twelve additional characters. The Street Fighter cast will be updated with Elena, Guy, Cody, Sakura, Dudley and Blanka. The Tekken side will be updated with Alisa, Christie, Jack, Bryan, Lars and Lei.
Capcom did not share screens of the new cast members today. |
man capcom is sucking sony's dick hard lately
hopefully they just put these all in one convenient download package for the consoles eventually but being capcom they probably wont
