How can Mega Man copy the World Warriors’ powers if they’re human?
SFxMM is not a cannon story to the Mega Man universe, and according to Capcom, the game is supposed to be taken as a fun game…

Well, the game is non-canon, so it doesn’t have to follow the in-universe reasonings for how things works, it just has to follow how the gameplay formula works.

Alternatively, one could just believe that the Street Fighters that MegaMan fights are robotic copies or something.

If I have questions about the game, where can I ask Capcom?
You can go to Capcom-Unity Forums, and ask. Like I did here.

I will update this story as I receive new information about SFxMM.

At midnight of December 16th, into the wee morning of December 17th, the game was released. According to Capcom, the server has been getting hammered by many people trying to download the game…

Street Fighter X Mega Man, our playable Xmas card to the 25th anniversary of two of Capcom’s most revered franchises, went live in the wee hours of the night. As one might expect for an awesome FREE game, our servers are getting hammered somethin’ fierce. While you wait for your download, why not enjoy a candid look at how this grassroots love song came together?!

Capcom also released a video detailing how this project all came about, shared some info about the game…

Nonetheless, Capcom released a few direct downloads for those who’ve been having problems with downloading the game: US version, EU version. To learn more about Street Fighter x Mega Man, check out the FAQ.

How’d this come about, you ask? A fan approached Capcom’s Christian Svensson at EVO 2012. According to Capcom…

Best of all, this is a true collaboration between Capcom and its fans. Singapore superfan Seow Zong Hui (maybe you’ve seen his Dhalsim skills?) approached our own Christian Svensson back at EVO 2012 with the skeleton of SFxMM running on a laptop. Seeing the potential and serendipitous opportunity, Sven shared it with GregaMan and I a week later. We evaluated (aka played to death) it and said uh yeah, this is pretty damn cool. Then it all started coming together.

In any case, in order to get Street Fighter x Mega Man, you have to download it from Capcom Unity/Mega Man page.

I mean, really? What was so violent or offensive about the old video? Too mature for the kiddies? Alright, okay! Moving along now. June 4th was a busy day for a lot of companies, that includes Capcom. In the first trailer, it features Guy, and Cody from Final Fight, and Street Fighter Alpha series respectively.

The second trailer features Bryan, Jack, Lars and Alisa. They’re all from the Tekken side of the equation, as they’ve appeared in Tekken in one shape or form. They show off their moves.

And then, at the end the day, Capcom released the PlayStation Vita trailer of SFxTekken…

“Who will come out on top?”
“Who will taste victory?”

Special PSVita version of SFxTekken features:

- Color customization: Customize colors for your characters.
- Touch screen acts as your controls for customization of colors.
- Battle Tap: Customize your touch controls with ease.
- Move the panel anywhere on the screen; making moves easy for your play on PSVita.
- Your super meter can be touched and commanded to suit your move style.

There’s a huge bit at the end about Street Fighter’s 25th anniversary celebration.

Funny trailer, eh? Capcom released another trailer, and they’re calling SFxTekken on PSVita “Street Fighter x Tekken Vita.” The trailer reveals six new characters that will join the PlayStation Vita roster, they are: Blanka, Sakura, Dudley, Elena, Lei, and Christie.

SF x Tekken features cross-platform play, what that means is that if you own both PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita versions of Street Fighter x Tekken – you can get the DLC characters for free on either version. For example, let’s say you bought DLC on PlayStation 3, according to Capcom, the DLC you bought on PS3 will appear on PlayStation Vita. And vice versa.

Jin has been spotlighted many times in many SF x Tekken videos, so we already know he’s in. But what is a surprising inclusion is this big, bad Ogre!

Street Fighter x Tekken releases next month for Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. PlayStation Vita fans will have to wait until the fall.

The trailer shows off some neat graphics display all over the place. It really shows how much vision Capcom has. Capcom also released a trailer as a precursor to the SF x Tekken launch. It’s about the story of Street Fighter x Tekken so far.

Street Fighter x Tekken is going to release in March for Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The PlayStation Vita version is coming in the fall.

Most of the kiosks that were at the event were all situated on the Gem System. The mode has been featured throughout Capcom’s Fight Club on Feb 2nd, to help promote the game’s mode. Some players were better than others at it.

What is this Gem System?
The gem system in a nutshell a battle system that allows SF x Tekken players to receive a ‘boost’ of sorts. These 5 gems are selectable at the character select screen. The gems correspond to the abilities that you are able to execute in-game. There are many types of gems available, here are a few: An attack gem is red, to get speed you need a green gem, for defense you need a yellow gem, to have the c. gauge you need a blue gem, and to have an assist ability, you need a purple gem. You can mix all of these gems together to form a combination of boosts. The gems is connected to the super/EX meter at the bottom of the screen.

Want to see just how deep the Gem System is? Check out the video:

Okay, so how does the game play?
I’m a casual fighting game player, I have played Street Fighter before, I have played Tekken before. The last game I played were Street Fighter 3, and Tekken 6.

Street Fighter x Tekken is a 3D fighter graphically, but the game is played on a 2D plane. So, accordingly, the controls of Tekken characters are going to be stuck on the Street Fighter 4 engine. And it shows. Street Fighter x Tekken retains Tekken’s 4-button fighting scheme. I think Tekken characters play pretty well on Street Fighter 4′s engine. You can execute moves a little better with SF4′s control scheme. Street Fighter characters play similar to their Street Fighter 4 fighting schemes.

I played Street Fighter x Tekken on the official SF x Tekken arcade stick for Xbox 360. I think the arcade sticks are really nicely designed. But I do notice that there are a few hitches here and there. SF x Tekken isn’t as responsive on a stick than a controller. Having played the PlayStation 3 version of Street Fighter x Tekken, I strongly believe there’s a slight delay in response. I can execute moves on PS3 than I would on an arcade stick.

Street Fighter x Tekken Graphics
One of the first things I noticed right off the bat when I saw Street Fighter x Tekken in gameplay trailers, was that the graphics seem to be ugly for the most part. When I attended Capcom’s Fight Club, that first impression of SF x Tekken disappeared. The images, the gameplay videos posted on various websites do not do the game justice. The special effects has an effect of it’s own, so those ugly black effects you see in videos – those aren’t even noticeable once you play the game. Second thing I notice with graphics is that the environments seem rough. Having played the game, that impression disappeared, because the environments look really, really colorful. Capcom really captured the Street Fighter feel with the stages – especially the trailers stage. Which I assume is Balrog’s stage. With SF4, I felt like something was missing. That missing component was evident in SF x Tekken. Somehow I feel like this should have been SF4, and not SF x Tekken.

Street Fighter Fun Factor
For the most part, SF x Tekken is fun, but I really don’t like the ‘rules’ for the game because most of the 2 vs 2 games, those tag team games usually allow you to deplete both characters or beat both characters. Street Fighter x Tekken goes against the grain, between your player and the other CPU player, you have one life. That’s it. Once the person with the lowest life is dead, the match stops. This is true with your co-op player, even though that both of you can play at the same time. So, if your partner dies, you lose.

Tekken Tag Tournament fans will notice that the rules in the game is similar to what they’re used to. However, I feel that this rule of the first person that reduces their health to zero loses the match. That means if your opponent defeats one of your characters, they win, mixed with the Gem System and the Pandora mode is a bad combination. Why? Because this would mean that Street Fighter x Tekken is all about power moves. The only reason why Tekken Tag Tournament got away with this rule is because of the balancing. Some of TAG’s moves are deemed as “power moves” but only in some circumstances. Tekken Tag Tournament has always been about combos, Street Fighter x Tekken does not encourage dial-a-combo like TAG does. Then again, it feels like SF x Tekken is a marketing stunt on Capcom’s part to help push sales of Tekken Tag Tournament 2, which is slated to be released quite soon for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. An arcade version of the game is already out.

Wait, there’s a co-op mode?
Yeap, go back to the video above and see for yourself. You and your co-op buddy can fight against the other side together. But as implied, there’s a risk that come with it; once one of you dies, it’s game over.

Street Fighter x Tekken sound
Since Fight Club was packed with people, you couldn’t really hear the sounds very well. From what I hear, the game is loud, full of sound effects. You can even hear some small details as you play.

Anything else worth mentioning?
I really like the attention to detail in Street Fighter x Tekken. Like Guile, his pose was so funny that I laughed out loud. In one of the stages, Zangief is seen trying to break the window. The character select screen has animated characters, and then when the game proceeds to the “Vs” screen, all of the characters are still animated.

The Verdict
Capcom really has gone all out with Street Fighter x Tekken. Capcom really captured the Street Fighter feel with SFxTekken. The game’s fun, but the fun can be ruined during play. The rules of the game may confuse some people, and it can infuriate some people – I have seen it first hand. Half the time, you can play the game, but on the other half you got to keep the gem system in mind while playing. In my play time with SF x Tekken, I didn’t really pay attention to the Gem System, and I got my @$$ kicked. I think that Street Fighter x Tekken is more geared towards the hardcore fighting fans. Casual fighting fans will either like it or not. I’m going with the latter. Not a lot of people will like it, it’s a little complicated for casuals.
