Two of gaming's best-established fighting franchises match up for the first time, in Street Fighter X Tekken. Building on the Street Fighter series' archetypical arcade action, the game pits fan-favorite characters from the Capcom and Namco series in head-to-head, 2D-style combat. Borrowing from the seminal Tekken 3D fighting franchise, players can team-up two combatants for a Tag battle. As in the recent high-def editions of Street Fighter, characters are rendered in virtual 3D, and fighting arenas are alive with background animations.

Two of gaming's best-established fighting franchises match up for the first time, in Street Fighter X Tekken. Building on the Street Fighter series' archetypical arcade action, the game pits fan-favorite characters from the Capcom and Namco series in head-to-head, 2D-style combat. Borrowing from the seminal Tekken 3D fighting franchise, players can team-up two combatants for a Tag battle. As in the recent high-def editions of Street Fighter, characters are rendered in virtual 3D, and fighting arenas are alive with background animations.
The roster includes central characters from both game series, including Ryu, Ken, Guile, and Chun-Li from Street Fighter, and Tekken's Kazuya, Nina, King, and Marduk. Characters can perform their signature special moves, and individual controls are designed to feel familiar to fans of either franchise. Before a match, the game's "Gem" system allows players to customize any character for a certain fighting style. As in the high-def editions of Street Fighter IV, internet-connected gamers can compete in a number of online multiplayer modes.
Vita gamers get a bundle of exclusive features, including 12 new characters (and five characters from the PS3 version), 38 free alternate costumes, touch-screen controls, augmented reality photographs, and cross-platform play and DLC-sharing with PS3 owners.
