According to Ono, the two part set for the Versus series involving Street Fighter and Tekken will be taking a lot longer than originally expected.
Either Capcom was assuming the entire set would be finished by a certain date or at least assumed Namco's turn with Tekken X Street Fighter would take about the same amount of time Capcom needed for SFxT.
Instead the project might have added more years from its original estimate based on Ono's request for a status report from Namco which contained absolutely nothing. It was later revealed Namco did not have any basic design documents nor any idea of how they want their version of the game to be made.
Quote:
There’s a reason for this. Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono told GamesMaster in its April issue that Namco Bandai is “way behind schedule” on the project. Actually, the company has yet to make “a single design document”.
“It might take a really long time to come out because they haven’t made a single design document yet, so they’re way behind schedule. But we definitely trust them, so whenever that game gets out the door we think they’ll have a really good thing.
“Just to reiterate that point, they really haven’t made any progress on the game at all. It might be 2018 before the game comes out for all we know, and in the mean time, we want people to enjoy Street Fighter X Tekken. Hopefully we can make it past the Mayan end-of-the-world apocalypse at the end of 2012 and then maybe they can get around to making the game.”

While Capcom was aware of no details regarding Namco's project and knew Namco wanted to wait until after SFxT was released, Ono's request for a status report was the first time Capcom wanted any real details regarding Namco's project.
