Capcom And Namco Team Up For Crossover Fighting Games

" Besides all of the fucking retards posting in this thread, I am definitely interested in how these games are going to play and how the characters are going to handle. Imagining Guile as a Tekken version is just... nuts. Likewise, imagining Brian Fury as a Street Fighter version is just... wat. "

We must be playing different games cause outside of Law, King, and the animals, the Tekken guys all just seem like generic characters. "

I wholeheartedly welcome this new era of crazy fighting games. 

Some awesome fucking fan service. 

I totally want a MegaMan x PacMan sprite-based game.

I want some Ace Combat people! 
 
But no one else will.

Basically,
Street Fighter X Tekken will play like Street Fighter
Tekken X Street Fighter will play like Tekken
tbh, I WANT TO PLAY BOTH, and see SF characters tekken style and vice versa =(

After reading the comments hear I just want to state a few things that might change some peoples minds.
 
When you're judging a fighting game, in my opinion, you should judge it on the fighting system and push the extra features (I'm looking at you, Tekken 6 scenario campaign) to the side. Since Tekken 5, the Tekken games have been improving upon the Tekken 3 formula, that high point you keep talking about? The Tekken 6 fighting engine is better, improved over the Tekken 3 engine. Tekken 4, admittedly, kinda sucked and was weird, but when they made 5 they threw the stuff out that didn't work well and improved upon the Tekken 3 formula instead.
I just find pointless Tekken hate annoying, so I was hoping to try and clear that up a little, I'm sure many of you will still hate Tekken though, but hey, I tried.
 
As for why they aren't making Street Fighter X Mortal Kombat instead... umm, I'm pretty sure the Mortal Kombat team is busy working on the new, awesome looking Mortal Kombat game. Did you guys forget about that or something? It would be ridiculous to be working on both the new Mortal Kombat and a crossover game at the same time, and if they did attempt to, both games would most likely suffer for it.
 
Anyway as for my own opinion, I am STOKED about this. I'll definitely pick up the Tekken version, and most likely give the Street Fighter version a go too. I've been wanting to get into Street Fighter for a while now, and this is the perfect thing to get me into it.
 
Also, did Kazuya sprout wings in that trailer? Does this mark the return of Devil Kazuya? That would be pretty sweet.

Finally I can fuck all you Street Fighter pussies up.

I really want MK vs SF and the SF vs MK.  Come on Capcom and WB.  Make this shit happen.

Also Power Stone. Don't bring the most original fighter in years. "

What there is gonna to be 2 games with different engines? but the same basic assets.

Seems like an awesome crossover for those who don't like the speed and insanity of MVC3. Capcom x Tales would be interesting...

It's an interesting experiment.  I think I'm more curious about Namco's game than the Capcom version, simply because I'm more of a Tekken/Soul Calibur fan.

" Why not Street Fighter x Mortal Kombat? That could all work in one game. "

People already have Street Fighter IV and Marvel vs. Capcom 3.  I think this is a chance to do something new and see a crossover between two of the biggest franchises.  It ain't the Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter crossover that fuels nerd boners but I'm certainly interested in how good it is.  Man if they do a good job of delivering it could along with MK9 solidify fighting games again.  Really I'm most interested in a game finally tackling the opposite characters in respective game's engine problem or actually mashing two different games in a balanced manner.

Why not Street Fighter x Mortal Kombat? That could all work in one game.

Read the whole article.  There are two separate games that play entirely differently. "

Read the article. Namco is making one using the Tekken 6 engine, and Capcom is making one using the SSFIV engine. "

I know but it just seem like two more similar franchises could have been used. I just thought that Tekken and Street Fighter don't match up. "

this is just weird.

You mean ill actually be able to buy a fighting game that has Street Fighter characters in it that I can just mash X+O and win? Now were talking!

" Can we also get Street Fighter vs. Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball - Featuring Hakan? I would buy it. "

Dude, this sounds terrific, I can't wait!  
     Oh, thought the end of the trailer was neat as well, haha 

This is bat shit crazy.  You know that right?  They had better include Dictator and Brian Fury.

I am totally interested in both of these.

Street Fighter's characters have been really prominent recently -- two Street Fighter IVs, Marvel vs. Capcom, and now two more with Tekken? People might disagree with me, but I feel Capcom are getting close to what Activision have been doing to Guitar Hero. That's not to say I'm not interested, because I am a little, but...

For me this is just SF vs yoshimitsu. (he better be in it) 

Can we also get Street Fighter vs. Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball - Featuring Hakan? I would buy it.

" Of all the fighting franchises to pick for a crossover they pick tekken, I like tekken but what would be nice is if they go into another territory that goes outside the punches and kicks and into...FATALITIES. Catch my drift? "

So if namco follows Capcom's suit of doing 2 v 2 matches, would Tekken X Street Fighter be the indirect sequel to Tekken Tag?

When ya all out of original ideas, do crossovers....yeah

" Tekken's high point and SF's low point coincided around the same time, and that is the only time they've ever been anything resembling equals. "

SF's lowpoint?  Oh god dont tell me you are one the "herp de derp, 3rd poops on SFVI!" guys? "

" Maybe this speaks for how devalued Tekken has become over the years, but this feels like a step down for Capcom after Street Fighter 4. "

Tekken is the premier 3D fighting game today, I don't know what you're talking about.   Anyways, I think this is a good venture for both franchises being that they are the most popular in their respective categories. As Jeff mentioned I'm more interested in the Capcom version rather than the Namco one though. Capcom has been on a roll with excellent fighting games that pretty much lead the 2D fighting scene, and it'll be interesting to see how they change Tekken characters to fit the mold.  It's a bit funny that there was a Virtua (Street) Fighter spoof on April 1st yet Tekken is actually making that come true. "

So who's getting thrown into a volcano this time? 

I'm interested in seeing how Namco handles their game with the Street Fighter characters.

SO mega man and pacman confirmed? 

More crossover madness I see.
