Street Fighter x Tekken & Tekken x Street Fighter

http://gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2010/07/19/rumor-namco-vs-capcom-not-one-but-two-games.aspx

According to our sources, Capcom will make a Capcom vs. Namco game using the Street Fighter IV engine and Namco Bandai will create Namco vs. Capcom with the Tekken 6 engine. This means that each game will play and look like whichever company is creating it. Think hadoukens, Ultra Combos, and 2.5D presentation on the Capcom side and three dimensional movement, in-depth move lists, and most likely, a playable panda on the Namco side. Ono is rumored to produce the Capcom game, and we're guessing that Harada will handle the Namco end of things.

Note these are fighting games, not a continuation of the old Namco x Cappcom RPG title that appeared on the previous hardware generation. Why two games? Simple: each company makes one! Capcom would be developing Capcom vs Namco, built on the Street Fighter IV engine, while Namco will develop Namco vs Capcom, which will run on the Tekken 6 engine.
As fighting game fans are already no doubt coming to grips with, this would mean two significantly different games, Street Fighter IV's 2D arenas contrasted nicely with Tekken's more three-dimensional combat.
GI say that Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono is handling Capcom's side of the deal, while it's expected Namco Bandai's Katsuhiro Harada will be in charge of the opposing project.

Insider2000

And this is why I stayed up. I knew something like this would happen.

It feels so GOOD!

Toshiya

It's still a rumor so don't get to excited. It would make sense but that would also mean we wont see Darkstalkers :<

KinkyScamp

That's kinda interesting.

Not really a big fan of Namco.

It's like they're trying to Pokémon this.

If so, I'm getting "Capcom version".

maxterdexter

Shouldn't capcom use the "Vs Capcom" engine? I guess that SFIV was more solid, and they would agreed early what ammount of "Tag" they would use, and in order for the games to be more "Special" capcom wouldn't use the same engine as he does with everyone else.

Syan Strife

This sounds cool

BUT

I don't think it would blow SSF IV away… so is this supposed to be Ono's big announcement?

KinkyScamp

Hell yeah, that's what I'm saying!

NvC/CvN? I don't think this is going to be "epic" as he made it seem.
I guess the "epic" part of this shit is that there are 2 games created.

It's kinda interesting… SOMEWHAT.
Best 2D fighting vs Best 3D fighting battling in 2D AND 3D fighting games.

It sucks that he lied, cause I'll still be playing Super Street Fighter IV.

But, I think

"Street Fighter vs Darkstalkers"

or

~~"Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat"~~

or ESPECIALLY

"Capcom vs SNK 3"

would had this entire planet covered in semen and tissues.

I still would love to see "Marvel vs Weekly Jump, developed by Capcom"

Toshiya

Street Fighter vs Darkstalkers? Naw since apparently they are in the same universe :P kinda like Tekken and Soul Calibur.

What did he lied about? He said he is working on a new game and something new for ssf4.

KinkyScamp

@Toshiya:

Street Fighter vs Darkstalkers? Naw since apparently they are in the same universe :P

Hey! There are rumors about "Guilty Gear vs BlazBlue" you know…

kinda like Tekken and Soul Calibur.

That would be interesting.

What did he lied about? He said he is working on a new game and something new for ssf4.

"It's bigger than SSFIV!"

I don't think so.

Syan Strife

Street Fighter v DarkStalkers would be lame to me.

Now, if Capcom did a NeoGeo Battle Colisseum style game, with a ton of characters from several franchises, but not a VS game, it would be cool. Just like Capcom All Stars and Fighting Jam were supposed to be, but those were really disappointing. They could do a great job, though.

KinkyScamp

Ah, damn! I forgot to add that under "SFvDS".

A brand new Capcom Fighting Evolution.

Hell yeah.

Build it just like NeoGeo Battle Colisseum.
Even the color customization.

Captain Shmeckie

If it's true, I'll be getting Capcom's. Not a huge fan of Namco's 3-D fighters. I don't dislike them, but I have issues with them…

KinkyScamp

Same here.

I'd play "Namco version", but I won't own it.

Syan Strife

I would likely get Capcom's side if this is true.

I'd check out Namco's side, though. I don't care too much for Tekken's style, but Soul Calibur plays wonderfully.

KinkyScamp

I hope they don't do the gay "exclusive characters" shit.

Namco is known for that with Soul Calibur.

Toshiya

@KinkyScamp:

"It's bigger than SSFIV!"

I don't think so.

His new project ya but he said he might add a new patch to SSF4 maybe like new moves and fixes to the game.

I'll get both since it might remind me of SFEX. Also everyone can't forget about SSF4 3DS version.

KinkyScamp

@Toshiya:

His new project ya but he said he might add a new patch to SSF4 maybe like new moves and fixes to the game.

Oh hells yeah.

I hope new characters as well.

Rolento, R. Mika, and Nash.

…

points at PSStore's SFZ3 avatar section

I'll get both since it might remind me of SFEX.

SFEX sucked though.

Also everyone can't forget about SSF4 3DS version.

Awww yeah. I'm buying that.

Gekko135

sounds cool. But all your comments kinda brought this into perspective to me.

I'd definitely get the capcom version since I prefer 2d fighters. but shit, i would have been much more excited if it was Cap vs SNK 3.

I'd have added my nut rag to the pile on that one.

Toshiya

@KinkyScamp:

Oh hells yeah.

I hope new characters as well.

Rolento, R. Mika, and Nash.

…

most likely its Rolento, Rmika, Hugo, and Elena than either another alpha or 3rd Strike character.

SFEX sucked though.

The 3rd one was the best.

Awww yeah. I'm buying that.

Same here.

KinkyScamp

@Toshiya:

most likely its Rolento, Rmika, Hugo, and Elena than either another alpha or 3rd Strike character.

I would say, "It's can't be Hugo! He's a background character!", but play the African stage with the plane and pick Boxer and Claw.

Claw will appear in the background… while fighting.

But, that was in vanilla. Haven't tried in Super.

Rolento and R. Mika are my number one pick though.

Elena would be sweet in SFIV.

I say Haggar either appears in MvC3 or SFIV 3.0.

The 3rd one was the best.

I'll give you that.

quotLCquot_Lapen

Very much liking the idea of this possibility, but will it ever make it stateside unlike it's RPG predecessor? I at least hope that the casting is equally diverse and colorful

ZRCm2L-Gn5Q

Toshiya

Well LC the difference is that this will be a fighting game that will aside from an RPG it wouldnt sell very well.

Plus they are talking about it in american events unlike NxC which came out of nowhere.

KinkyScamp

That is very, very true. Haha!

So fucking true.

maxterdexter

I don't care if they have to make her larger, PUT AMATERATSU IN THIS!!!! The bitch deserves a bone.

Oh, and a Megaman that is 0% organic, 100% physical.

felton

sorry if this is a stupid question, so this game(s) will only be available on PS3 platform?

KinkyScamp

Nah, most likely on PS3/360.

You know…

That would be very, very, very gay if Namco version was on PS3/360 and Capcom version was on Wii.

I'd be extremely pissed the fuck off and hate it even more.

Gekko135

yeah, just like TatsunokoVsCapcom.

There was a game that only the Wii's inventive motion controls could offer:getlost:

KinkyScamp

Tatsunoko vs Capcom is shit.

Just like Marvel vs Capcom 3.
ONLY because of the controls.

Gekko135

quit yer whining

that game is fun as fuck. You did play it on a classic controller did you not?

KinkyScamp

I ain't whining.
I'm stating facts.

My friend played that game 6 months before me.
He had all the combos on lock and I've never gave a thought of playing it.

He comes home from out of state. Forces me to play.

I picked Chun-Li and Morrigan.

I raped him.

Ten times in a row.

Using nothing but Ryu, Chun-Li and Morrigan.

Yes, I used Classic Controller.

Easy piece of shit ass game.

Gekko135

lol, then here's hopin' NamVsCap can deliver

KinkyScamp

Yeah, I would say that.

But, CvN isn't Hyper Fighting.

I want a badass, non-TvC control scheme hyper fighting game.

Gekko135

well, i don't know about you, but i'm holding off one of my nuts to store the massive ocean of jizz i'll produce when they get around to making GuiltyGearVsBlazeBlue

but that's off topic

KinkyScamp

GGvsBB. I want to see that! Nao!

has been playing Arc System Works music all day

[On-Topic]

Namco vs Capcom sucks.

Capcom vs Namco rules.

Toshiya

How cany you already bash on a game that isn't even been showned?

KinkyScamp

I was joking.

Trying to be "on-topic".

TakinawaTonfa

Sounds cool, but I'm still waiting on Konami vs. Capcom.

Insider2000

Pff. Like we're not going to end up with Tatsunoko vs Marvel vs Namco vs SNK vs Capcom.

TakinawaTonfa

Everyone vs. Capcom

Captain Hypersock

Meh, would've liked to see Shonen Jump vs. Capcom.

Maybe this'll be interesting.

Darkstorm

Is anyone even going to buy the namco made one?

Insider2000

@Darkstorm:

Is anyone even going to buy the namco made one?

Me. I'm buying both. I like Tekken.

Only issue is, my main in Tekken will most likely not make the crew.

Accelerator

I just want Yuri Lowell, Brad Hawk, Pac-Man and Klonoa from Namco side and all is forgiven.

Who I want from Capcom side are Batsu, Alex, Nero (Since Dante is already in MvC3), God Hand Gene, Amaterasu, and any protagonist from Onimusha.

Hiroy

As long as Mitsu is in it(he is), I don't care for Namco.

Conekiller

I don't give 2 licks about Tekken, so I'm pretty sure I'll be sitting this one out.

Syan Strife

My mind just remembered something. The VS games don't need to only have characters who are originally fighters. I was thinking Namco was only bringing Tekken and Soul Calibur, but we could potentially see some fighting game versions of Tales Of characters! I'd enjoy slashing Ryu with Lloyd or Cress.

KinkyScamp

Yeah, I could see that happening.

Because when I honestly think of Namco.

I think of Tekken, Soul Calibur and Tales of. series only.

KinkyScamp

Ryu would rape the Tales characters though. Sadly.

Syan Strife

No way. Tales Of characters own. Ryu's a lonely queer.

Toshiya

I can see this game being more like NeoGeo Battle way of playing or maybe it will be 1v1 instead of how the VS game have 2v2 and tag in and out while in play.
