Marvel Vs Gem Pack!

That's my girl.
It seems Cammy and Chun are their rivals, making Karin and Sakura less likely.
Drakul
12-22-2011, 10:44 AM
I wouldn't say that exactly. I've not seen any rivals that make much sense other than Ryu and Kazuya, both being "Poster boy" for their game. Screens of rivals show Ryu and Ken vs Kazuya and Nina. Why would Ken want to take on Nina?
I'd have thought Nina would be up against Chun-Li. I expected a more straight forward connection between rivals. Balrog or Dudley vs Steve, Zangief vs Kuma, Rufus vs Bob which is in, judging by the trailer so that's one rivalry I think makes sense.
It would probably help if I knew the Tekken stories.

Drakul

Nah, I don't think it fit in with the other trailers with such different music.
They should probably just reveal M.Bison now. You see the Shadowloo insignia on the back of the ship at the end of the Asuka trailer. Plus you see it on a building at the back of the truck stop stage and I think it appears somewhere else. We know he's in, just show us.
It would have been cool if we got a brief, vague shot of the driver of the 18-wheeler in the Asuka trailer, even if it was just in the corner of shot for a half a second so they could have hinted towards Sodom.

So the stream went on and it's finished now. A lot of people asked at the end what the new feature would be and the guys doing the stream said they had no idea what Ono was talking about and called him a troll.

The Capcom Fight Club is tonight down in Edinburgh with the newest build of SFxT. I don't think I'll be able to make it though :(.
Though I was thinking about it. They said it'll be the newest build but the guys on the stream last night said they were playing the newest build and the build had unannounced characters on the select screen. So, either they'll reveal new characters today or they'll not have the newest build at the Fight Club.
I can't see them announcing new characters at a Fight Club in Edinburgh. If it's not LA, New York or London they wouldn't do that. I can't see them "wasting" a reveal on any other city in the world. Even if it is the countries capital city.
Would they upload trailers on a Saturday? I thought it was more of a Thursday/Friday thing.

New UK Capcom community manager Dawgtanian settles things about the easy-input Gems with a nice quote:
Question: Would you prefer new players to A) mash shoryuken all day B) use shoryuken only when you jump. New players mash shoryuken because it's not an easy command for everyone to pick up the first time.
So by equipping an easy input gem, sure they lose 10% damage overall, but at least new players can attempt to do things on purpose. Imagine you can't even do a shoryuken, how can you expect to do one on reaction when your opponent jumps?
If it stops people mashing recklessly and helps them to understand how the game is meant to be played (anti airs etc), I'm all for it.
Far as I'm concerned, end of discussion. This guy gets it.

I was wondering why they'd have colours be DLC when they are free anyway. Doesn't make much sense.
We're getting more characters revealed at the end of this month so that'll be next week. Probably just Bison and Jin.
Then we get more in mid February which will probably be the four seen at the end of the last gameplay trailer. So, that looks like our lot. No Sodom, Mika, Sakura, Alex or any of the other characters people wanted.
Although, the crossover outfits suggest a few other people that haven't been revealed yet. No character that has been revealed isn't represented by someone where their outfit on the opposing side. As far as I know.

Besides both series having pretty huge number of fighters, its been a side effect for fighting games ever since Marvel vs Capcom 2 came out.
Sure the game itself was pretty unbalanced and the majority of characters were barely used but it managed to please a ton of people on both the Marvel and Capcom sides of the game. One big complaint with Marvel vs Capcom 3 was the smaller roster even though it was done to be a lot more balanced.

Fact Bison, Juri, and Vega are in this was enough. Adding King made it better. Now if only Q...
Drakul
01-22-2012, 11:54 AM
I can't see Q getting in. I'm personally hoping for Mika and Sodom but hope is sort of fading. We saw Sodom in the back of a stage once but when they played it on a live stream, he never appeared at all. So maybe he's been removed from the background to be playable? Mika is Kumas crossover outfit and everyone that has their outfit used by the opposing team has been revealed as character. I'm also sure someone had Sodoms outfit on as well.
I'm happy that Zangief is in and I want to give Poison I shot. If I can get those last two characters in the game, I'd be very satisfied.
Ono talks about a new statge being revealed in February. I'm betting the stage will be inside Pandoras box. It'll look like the outside of the box in it's designs (the eye, the shapes etc) but with the colour scheme the characters take on when Pandora mode is activated.
If that's not a stage, I already said it before, Pandora will be the end boss. The box will either contain the final boss, Genie of the Lamp style, or transform into the final boss. Probably a female because Pandora is a womans name.

01-23-2012, 10:25 AM
The Special Edition is up on the GAME website in the UK. It was up a few weeks ago briefly but was taken down again. I preordered it back then but, now that it's up and what I saw before wasn't an error, I'm not so keen on it.
The SE costs £20 more, comes with a mini guide, 45 gems and an arcade cabinate money box. No comic book like the US or Japan gets and no OST like the US or Japan gets, I can't remember who gets what. On top of that, I have to wait an extra month to get the SE over the standard edition.
Probably wont go through with it. I can't see the gems making that big a difference for me.
If I did get the gems, each of the packs includes a 30% strength increase gem. If I select 3 30% strength boost gems and active all 3, I'll have near double strength. Throw Pandora into the mix and it would give me over 100% increase with the 3 gems and Pandora combined. Considering who I play as, that would make the game a piece of cake, surely.

So does that mean there are specific character rivals between the franchises?
YO: Yeah, as you play through the Arcade Mode, you’ll run into something called the Rival Battle, and if you play as the official tag partners that we’ve set up, for example Ryu and Ken, eventually you’ll run into a rival battle with Kazuya and Nina who are there to stop you. And Nina will be like, “Oh, do we really have to fight these poor-looking guys who don’t wear shoes?” And Kazuya’s like, “Yeah, we’ve got to beat them up.” So there are scenes like that that flesh out the relationships between rivals.
And there’s a lot of variety—that’s kind of a serious one, with Ryu and Kazuya and Nina and Ken going at it—but there are also really light-hearted Rival Battles as well, so we’d like fans to play through the story and just have fun finding out about all those relationships between the characters.
How much communication do the developers of this game have with Namco?
YO: As I mentioned before, in the beginning when we were trying to figure out how to transplant the characters into the game, we did contact Namco on a frequent basis to get advice. But once they told us that we had the freedom to do with the characters what we wanted, we decided we could just meet up whenever we would have dinner together or something, but other than that we’d just make the game and just show them later. So every time I’d go over to their offices and meet up with the Tekken team, I’d bring a new build of the game with me, we’d play around, and then go eat dinner. So it was more like showing them progress on the game rather than getting their feedback consistently.
For this past year in particular, there were probably times when the Tekken team found out about characters through websites and things like that, not even us telling them directly. And then they would call us after reading the news on websites and say, “Hey, I want to play as that character! Can you bring a new version of the rom over?”

It's amazing really. I remember when the reveal trailer dropped, and thinking that the year plus wait would be agony. Now, with less than 2 months to go, the wait seems just as long.
I might be more psyched for this game, than any other game in my whole life.
At this point only a new Fire Pro, or King of Colosseum could top it.

I can officially announce that you can set your button configuration from the character select screen in SFxT!
There's also a nice feature you can turn on that only allows the pause function to occur once the start button is held down.
This will stop a lot of accidental pausing during tournament games for those who don't have the option of locking their controller.
Just to clarify, with this feature enabled, tapping start will not pause the game. Only when you hold it down will it interrupt the game.
This is turning into the last Capcom fighter I ever need.

Looks like Microsoft once again nixed any ideas of having a console exclusive character like the PS3 is getting with this game (and Mortal Kombat).
The Xbox 360 version would have gotten 2 exclusive characters with one being Alan Wake.
Now, a lot of 360 owners have, quite rightly, wondered if they would be getting their own exclusive characters. Well, the short answer is no. That also happens to be the long answer. However, it was originally planned that they would get two. Notably two of the only three worthwhile characters, along with Alan Wake, that Microsoft own (yeah, I said it. You Fable fans want a piece of me?)
Apparently Capcom did approach Microsoft about acquiring the rights to use these characters, but unfortunately for both parties, Microsoft evidently waited too long to respond, and the whole deal fell through. Worse, the timing evidently stops them from even putting the characters through as downloadable content, so there's no hope for a future roster update.

Why would it be too late to add them as DLC? I thought the whole point of DLC, aside from milking a few extra £'s or $'s from us, was that games could have things added to them after release. What's timing got to do with it? If they have no plans for another disc based version of the game, there wouldn't be a deadline for adding to the game.
If they had used a Fable character, I'd have wanted Reaver in purely so I could listen to Stephen Fry taunting Ryu.

If I remember correctly, Capcom won't be using the SF IV or MvC 3 model for this one in regards to DLC or extra versions. It has to do with Namco having their turn at making the game and maybe keeping the rosters as similar as possible.
I guess whatever Capcom is planning for DLC won't be exclusive and could be tied to what Namco has in store for their version.
Kalyx triaD
01-24-2012, 08:27 PM
I don't think they're working together at all. Some characters Namco didn't know were in the game until they saw the trailers like the rest of us. More likely there were license deadlines that Capcom didn't wanna put up with, especially after the UMvC3 thing. The rosters between SFxT and TxSF may be very different aside from mainstays (shotos, Mishimas, Chun-Li, Nina).

Capcom has confirmed plans to release a free, post-launch patch that adds a tournament support mode to upcoming fighting game Street Fighter x Tekken.
While Capcom is yet to finalise the details of what the mode will actually do, it is designed to alleviate fan concern over the controversial gem system - and how it will impact tournaments.
"We know a lot of players are worried that with the gem system tournaments will be harder to run," Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono told Eurogamer.
"We know they take a lot of time. A lot of players were saying, 'I have to do button checks. Do I have to do a gem check now before a match?' With regards to that we plan to release a free post-launch tournament support mode."
Meanwhile, the enthusiastic Japanese developer was keen to stress that the gem system - 57 gems will be included on the disc with others supplied as pre-order bonuses - has been misunderstood by much of the fighting game community.
"In terms of DLC gems, we don't have any set plans on selling gems like this or like that," Ono said. "We're waiting to see what the user reaction is first, because we think a lot of users still don't understand the gem system completely.
"They're not power-up items. That's not how we see them. We put gems into the game which are default. As long as you have these default ones you'll be fine. If you want to get more gems down the road from the pre-order bonuses, you can definitely do that, but it doesn't make you stronger, it doesn't make you a better player, it doesn't mean you'll have an advantage.
Capcom promised to patch the game post-launch should the community feel a gem is too strong or the balance is suffering.

They never said they wouldn't have updates like AE. Just that they wouldn't release disc based updates. We might get SFxT Turbo or something as a DLC roster/gameplay update. Then we might see T. Hawk, Dee Jay etc.
They could always charge 1200 or 1400 MSP for character packs. SFIII Pack with Makoto, Sean, Alex and Q or Alpha Packs with Mika, Karin, Sakura and Sodom or something.

"For future titles I want to keep having this concept of, my character is different than your character," [Ono] said.
"In fighting games, the only difference between me and you is how good I am. But what I want to do with fighting games from now on is add in that element of customisation, where I can have a Ryu that's different than your Ryu, so we can compete on a different level than just our execution."
Ono suggested future fighting games may allow fans to create their own gems, "But really the ultimate goal would be to have the players themselves create their own characters to some degree," he revealed. "We call it user created content, or user created design."
The next-gen, the next Xbox and, presumably, PlayStation 4, promise to deliver vastly improved graphics than the current gen. While Ono is perfectly happy with the power of PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, he did hint at the visual improvements the shift to next-gen will enable for future Street Fighter games.
"Just for the basics of fighting games, and what we've done until now, the current generation of hardware is more than enough to do what we want to do," he said. "You can see with Resident Evil 6, we've got amazing graphics in that game. We've got stylized art in Street Fighter x Tekken.
"But I'm a person that puts a lot of focus and attention to the details of the visuals. Fighting games are great to be spectated. The players enjoy it, but people watching can also enjoy them. With the next generation of hardware we can make things better for the spectator in that sense."
He added: "So maybe the guy's clothes could get ripped off during the fight. Chun-Li would be like, 'Oh no!' There are a lot of things we could do with the graphics to make it look better. But in terms of the basics, we already have a lot of the power we need."
I would love to create my own character. Dhalsim arm stretch across the screen into SPD. :shifty:.
Seriously though, if we ever got to create a character in SF, I'd probably put myself in the game. That's usually my first creation in these things.

Feeling a bit "meh" towards the game just now. I was cool with PS3 getting exclusive guys and I bought the whole "MS were too slow to say yes to our offer." explination but they wouldn't have needed MS's say so to throw in Pacman or Megaman.
I wouldn't have minded giving Pacman a spin. Megaman, not so much. After the whole mess surrounding MM in the last year with canceling his 2 games, excluding him from MvC3 and UMvC3, putting in Bad Box Art Megaman does come across as more of a "troll" than a funny joke.

Possibley good news, if it's true. There was a leaked roster list not long after the game was revealed. It revealed Pacman riding Mokujin and Bad Boxart Megaman would be in the game along with other characters that are in.
I think it's a safe bet that it is a genuine list if it was as specific as saying Pacman would be riding Mokujin. Anyway, according to that list, Pacman and BBAMM are not PS3 exclusives, so maybe they are timed exclusives and will be DLC for the 360 in a few months.

It just seems odd that of all the MM they could have attached him to, they chose Legends. A series whose fanbase they insist on pissing off.
Given that he's fictional, Capcom attaching a background to a character makes them that character. Even if it's not a MM game or canon. In SFxT, Volnutt is a middleaged, overweight loser in lycra.
That, along with cancelling MML3 and blaming the fans, gives the impression that they think lesser of the Legends fanbase than they think of the Classic or X fanbase. You can't tell me no one would be pissed if they canceled, for example, X9, blamed the X fanbase and then made X a fat loser in lycra in MvC4.
They didn't need to attach Volnutts background or anyones background to BBAMM. They could fix this entire thing by adding the word "imposter" somewhere in his bio.

The biggest issue has been more of everyone just wants the classic Mega Man character and instead Capcom either trolls everyone (ex. UMvC 3 uses Frank West for classic Mega Man) or has been upset with the franchise ever since the creator left. They actually managed to deliver the classic Mega Man but he ends up being the fat middle aged bad box art version which is the last thing anyone actually wants with the series.
I'd also assume some of the anger could also be related to the strange or bad decisions Capcom has made this generation which keeps getting their fanbase really upset (ex. Resident Evil switching to an action-focused games, costly DLC, multiple versions of the same game, etc).

It's been my observation that Capcom pisses off fans by not spending money at all. They wouldn't R&D a MM character just to troll. All of their 'transgressions' against MM fans involved not spending money on something MM related.
My guess is Ono and Inafune legit thought BBA-MM was a cool and funny idea. The Legends backstory may have been either a cheap placeholder because they didn't want to craft an actual story for who was always a joke icon in the MM franchise. Personally, if Inafune himself is cool with it that's end of story. No corporate trolling or whatever. They thought it was cool, they attached known canon to him out of laziness, that's that.

The biggest issue has been more of everyone just wants the classic Mega Man character and instead Capcom either trolls everyone (ex. UMvC 3 uses Frank West for classic Mega Man) or has been upset with the franchise ever since the creator left.
And I want classic Dante in a new DMC. Capcom does these things. To be totally honest, though, has Mega Man been commercially successful enough lately for Capcom to care? Aside from Khuntry who is diehard for MM, I didn't know the public at large gave this much a damn about the Blue Bomber. Nobody threw a party for Volnutt in TvC (and ironically Zero got more praise). He was ignored and even called out as annoying and weak in his MvC appearances. The spin-offs, ZX, Battle Network, Star Force, and Battle Command weren't huge. And they pushed BN hard - TV show and all. Nobody gave a shit.
So while I may understand why Khuntry is pissed at not having a proper MM or X in legit form for MvC3, or having Legends 3 or Universe come out, I don't see why the public at large gets so testy with the conspiracy theories when the public at large did not support Mega Man in the franchise's time of need.
I'd also assume some of the anger could also be related to the strange or bad decisions Capcom has made this generation which keeps getting their fanbase really upset (ex. Resident Evil switching to an action-focused games, costly DLC, multiple versions of the same game, etc).
DmC, Legends 3 cancellation, PR confusion over SFxT Gems, unnecessary Westernization of their franchises, and others. Capcom's been on some strange shit.

Excuse me, but I am the die hard mega man fan around these parts.
Also, to be fair, mega man 9 and 10 did very well, financially and critically, so the public HAS supported the series as of late.

when the public at large did not support Mega Man in the franchise's time of need.
It's hard to buy and support games that don't get released.
Universe was reported to be a mess with its controls but it was fixable.
Legends 3 had a lot of excitement around it. Even when they insisted on only showing footage of that weird new guy and not MM, people ate it up. I even had plans to buy a 3DS purely to play MML3 and I'm not even the most hardcore MM fan.
There was no shortage of attention for either MM game. Even now, there is a petition for the continuation of MML3 with almost 60,000 supporters. That's almost 10,000 new supporters each month and it's just the hardcore English speaking fans. I'm sure there are even more here, in Japan and elsewhere that haven't signed the petition.
Though Capcom have said the game is dead for good. No matter how many people petition.
I know Inafune may have suggested BBAMM be in SFxT but I doubt he suggested attaching him to any previous MM.

Guy and Christie? :drool:
Drakul

The ESRB write up of the game could have leaked 2 more characters (both Tekken).
This is an arcade-style fighting game in which players engage in two-on-two battles with characters from the Street Fighter and Tekken universes. Players punch, kick, and use special attacks (e.g., energy blasts, fireballs, electrical strikes) to deplete opponents’ life meters. Some fighters also use laser swords, chainsaws, metal claws, or explosives to knock characters across the screen or to the ground. One bear-like character can perform a flatulence attack to strike opponents, resulting in yellow gas clouds.
A variety of female fighters wear revealing outfits that expose large amounts of jiggling cleavage; some sequences include close-up camera angles on their breasts or buttocks. The dialogue references alcohol and drunkenness (e.g., “Getting drunk isn’t really a good way to fight,” “[W]anna go for a few drinks?”), and one wobbly character uses “drunken” fighting moves. The words “sh*t” and “a*s” appear in dialogue.
Eventhubs believes this means Alisa and Lei Wulong are in.

I still think that we've been told who is in the game through the crossover outfit swap images.
Here are the images from a few months ago, in spoilers because there are a lot of them, and I've added who each character is dressed as and underlined the characters that have been anounced in some form or other (Gameplay, CGI trailer, Teaser, DLC list). So it makes sense that the characters not revealed but still represented are likely in, either at release or as future DLC.
It would be weird to have some outfits be based on included characters and have others be references to characters that aren't in. The fact that a lot are in means that these aren't just references to characters they didn't put in.

There's no way that those costumes tell us who's left. Would be just too many characters for balance sake.
If anything a lot of those costumes are done to slightly appease fans who didn't get the character they wanted.

Notes from the podcast
• Vega is really strong. Has long range pokes. Rolling Crystal Flash is very effective in this one.
• Any move that holds the opponent in place is very valuable, so you can tag while Vega is doing his Roll to setup other stuff.
• He feels out of the newly announced Street Fighter characters (Balrog, Juri and Vega) Vega is the strongest.
• Footsies are very important in Street Fighter X Tekken, very centric to the gameplay. There's a lot of poking and footsies in general.
• Juri is faithful to her Street Fighter 4 counterpart.
• Seth feels Law is the best out of the Tekken characters that were recently announced (Paul, Law and Xiaoyu).
• Killian added that they're not even in the home stretch for character reveals or the innards of the game.

So it's 3am, I'm bored and I have a crazy new theory about characters.
A few character teams seem a bit odd. Why would Zangief and Rufus be a team? Why would Rolento and Ibuki be a team? Why would Sagat and Dhalsim be a team? I think I've got it figured out.
The logical partner for Zangief is R.Mika. He is her idol, they fought in SFA3.
Rolentos logical partner is Sodom, both are FF bosses.
Despite being "rivals", I'd think Adon would make more sense than Dhalsim as Sagats partner.
I don't know about Adon but I've seen a lot of requests for R.Mika and Sodom and, Capcom being Capcom, they aren't going to pass up the opportunity to make a few extra dollars from this.
So they left R.Mika and Sodom out, along with other characters, I'm sure, in order to sell them later as DLC.
Zangief and the others now have no partner so they use these openings to fit in characters who they couldn't give a partner to. Rufus, Ibuki and Dhalsim.

And Heitachi has Sodom as an alt attire.
I am curious about one other thing. If the 2 SF bosses are M.Bison and Akuma and M.Bison is teaming with Juri, will Akuma be going solo or will he have a partner?
Unless the final fight will be a team of Akuma and Ogre. A super bad guy team.

I was thinking the other day that with gems, tagging and Pandora, they have crammed pretty much everything into the gameplay.
Then I thought the only thing they didnt put in was transformations. Ryu becomes a dragon, Zangief becomes a bear, Sagat becomes a Tiger etc. Then I realised it would just be Bloody Roar if they had transormations.
The Bloody Roar announcer always sounded so bored on the title screen.
Kalyx triaD
02-16-2012, 03:21 AM
That's a pretty random thought.
I was just thinking Pandora is some link between the Devil Gene and Satsui no Hadou. This crossover isn't treated with the usual 'portal' hopping story, instead treating the characters as if they always lived in the same world (just like the CvS series). So in this alternate universe for both camps, the DG and SnH could very well be linked by Pandora. Not that a strong mythology may come of this one-off crossover, just a thought.

Take it with a grain of salt since only some can be confirmed but a few new details are rumored to have been leaked.
Day 1 DLC will be just the color edit and costume swap packs.
Capcom is planning at least 5 character DLC packs with 3 confirmed and 2 packs still in discussion. The sizes will be different since some are just unlock keys while others contain the moves not found on the disc. They will also be arriving about once every month at the price of $3 per character or $10 for a set of 4.
1st set: Cody, Guy, Jack X, Alisa
2nd set: Dudley, Elena, Leo, Christie
3rd set: Yun, Yang, Bryan, Lei
No chance at Blanka or R. Mika ever appearing because Capcom has no plans for them to be in the game regardless of fan feedback. No Alex or Karin either because Ono hates those characters.
As for Gems, the pre-order exclusive gems will be available for purchase approximately 1 month after release, and the special edition exclusive gems should be available approximately 2 months after release. They will cost $3 per pack. One new gem pack will be released every month after that, for however long Capcom feels like making more.
One more thing. Costumes. Yes, Capcom is going to release lots of costume packs, probably 3 or 4 by the time the game is done being updated. They'll run for about the same price as the first Costume Swap pack.
Capcom also confirmed no Super/Ultimate version of the game because of the backlash from UMvC 3. Instead they are loading up the game with a ton of DLC packs as a way to create their "Super/Ultimate" version.
The Arcade Mode final boss is always Akuma & Orge but the 2nd to last fight mini-boss depends on the characters you selected for a team.
2 Good SF characters: M.Bison x Juri
2 Evil SF Characters: Ryu x Ken

Some of the other potential rumors deal with the story itself so that is staying in the link.

Yeah if those DLC packs are accurate, shut up and take my money Capcom.

So so excited. And yeah, if those DLC characters are true, I'll probably get all of them. Sadly.

No interest in any of the DLC characters, what so ever. Jack...meh, maybe if he was sold seperatley or something. Though I doubt that.
I'm a little confused by the Blanka/Mika/Alex/Karin thing. So, Ono is powerful enough to have 2 characters he hates left out of the game but he's not powerful enough to have 2 characters he loves be included?
I'm not sure about that work policy, anyway. Ono can have characters left out because he doesn't like them and Capcom wont include specific characters regardless of what fans want. Wouldn't it be more profitable to sell characters players want, regardless if Capcom, Ono, Seth or whoever else loves or hates them?

The characters are going to be sold separately but are arriving in sets which is how the discount is possible ($2 savings if all 4 are bought at once).
From what I understand about the new details, he just doesn't want those characters included but it didn't specify why besides him not really liking those characters. Capcom is currently working on a small pool of reserve characters meant for the final 2 DLC packs and it happens that those 4 are not in the reserve pool.

That kinda sucks. Was really hoping for Alex. However, with Elena, Bryan, and Christie now as DLC, Alex is the only omission I care about, so I am pretty stoked about the roster regardless.

What scares me is the pricing for all these DLC characters based on previous character pricing. I still haven't bought AE 2012 because it hasn't seen a price drop. Same with the UMVC3 characters, though I can live without both of them.

Actually these characters are cheaper than Jill/Shuma. AE is a good deal and the 2012 update is free after that.
But I'm probably gonna get all of that DLC, even the gems. I love this game.

Yeah, I finding her too. ;D RT @Dios_X_Reloaded: PLZ put R. Mika in Street Fighter X Tekken! She is missed! Where is Mika!?
Clutching at straws but, whatever. 17 days until release.
If anyone is buying the SE from GAME, in the UK, check your preorder. I had mine preordered at £59.99 and GAME are supposed to update the price if and when they lower it.
They knocked it down to £49.99 and didn't alert me or automatically adjust what they were going to charge me.
In the end, I had to cancel the SE preorder and re preorder it. I used £2 I had on my reward card so I'm getting the SE for just £8 more than the price of the standard version.
Considering 40 DLC gems alone will likely cost over £8, that's not so bad for the SE, gems and other extras.

Vita version wont be released until Autumn. It'll get 12 additional characters. Most likely have these guys added as DLC, IMO. Some have already been confirmed as such, like Guy & Cody.
The PlayStation Vita version of Street Fighter X Tekken won't make it out alongside the PS3 and Xbox 360 version on March 8. Capcom said today that Vita owners will have to wait until Fall.
But Vita owners can look forward to some big bonuses. The Vita version will have twelve additional characters. The Street Fighter cast will be updated with Elena, Guy, Cody, Sakura, Dudley and Blanka. The Tekken side will be updated with Alisa, Christie, Jack, Bryan, Lars and Lei.

Well the Vita extras are basically the DLC we'll get? Nice: Sakura.

I wonder why they never brought back anyone from SF1. Ryu/Ken and Sagat don't really count because they've been pretty much everywhere the entire time. Someone like Eagle, Joe or something.
I wouldn't say no to Eagle, even if he isn't exactly my style. It would just be cool to see him.

I thought Genki would be perfect simply as an alternate costume for Vega.
Also, this DLC business sounds a bit sketchy to me.
First off, it's not Capcoms style to release things separately. They always release stuff in packs, to squeeze more dollars out of people.
Second, the sheer amount of characters is a bit of a red flag. All told, the game will have 58 characters on 360 and 61 on PS3. That's more than even MvC2. Pretty common knowledge that the more characters there are, the tougher it is to keep everything balanced. With that many characters AND the gem system thrown in, it seems like a herculean effort to keep it all balanced.
Finally, we get a report that says Blanka definitely won't be in, and then several days later he is stated to be in the Vita version and likely DLC for consoles? Sounds fishy to me.

I remember Seth giving an interview months ago saying the final roster might rival MvC2.
As for the imbalance a big roster would cause, that could be what the gems are really for. To have players balance the game themselves to a degree.

I take it we'll have Endless Lobbies on par with SSF4 when this drops. No excuses. Maybe a team tourny, why not. No excuses.

I'm up for it, once I get a grip on things.
Edit: Some guy called Desk has the game already. So, with it being out now, probably through dodgey means, anyone know if the endings are animated, CGI or just still images with text?
Hoping it's animated, be it anime or CGI.

Probably more pics.
And Desk most likely got it from Capcom.

Ono got tweeted about the exclusive characters and responded.
I seen there were MORE Vita exclusive characters? how is that fair for Xbox - Crizzlers
Exclusive characters? Where is it announced ;)I had played [them] on 360.
is cody never coming to xbox360??? =[ please don't say thats true. he is my main character and i only have 360 - henryJSB
I know its order from 360 users. Plz wait it news.
The 12 Vita characters, are they gonna be on consoles!? - ErnestoMaltosE
Plz wait its detail... I'll say [more] about [it] that when the time comes.

Gotta be the stupidest humans on earth, to not think these are tacit DLC reveals for the consoles. Jesus.

It would help if they'd just come out and say it. Rather than say "exclusive", say "temporarily exclusive" or something.
I know that defeats the purpose of having exclusives because then people just wait, rather than buy a Vita and the Vita version of SFxT, but it would save on a lot of crying, confusion and repeating questions.
I wonder how much money Sony spat out to have Capcom give them a total of 17 extra characters, 3 of which will definitely be 100% exclusive.

Never played a Tekken game after 3 so Eddy was who I'd have put in against Elena.
Guess Christie is more popular? Or maybe just so we have a girl vs girl match up.
