Being a Capcom/Street Fighter fan it was a real adrenaline rush waiting for this game to fill my mailbox. All the charecters you expect to see from both worlds are there. Brining them both together is something that I always imagined what would it be like.
A new gem system has been added to this production of Capcom. Speed, strenght, defense and many others you might find a necessary or just great to use. Either way it is one thing that will keep you playing for awhile. Thier is just one catch. Some of the more valuable(your chose either way) gems you have to buy to own. If you do not check to store you could be mistaken and keep on playing thinking viewing them as a reward.
Getting the chance to beat up on the vets from both games in a single match is awsome. Some teams you could never imagine unless you played them are possible. Thier singnature moves just scream thier names out. (not literaly) For example any Capcom fan knows who executes you with a raging demon and who packs a punch with a demon god fist. They are all there along with great and humorus movements from other characters you might recongize in the back round of every stage.
Challenges are a extra plus that will keep you entertained for a long time. The fast paced action that is common among the earlier renditions of Street Fighter games is no longer there. Button mashing is nolonger effective. If fighting is all you like thier is a good chance you might like it.
I have been playing one of Capcoms longest and probley most famous fighting games since it came out in the early eighties. To get a charecter is nolonger a test of skill but of how deep you pocket is. It is like bying a grade on a math test. Though It sounds great it is not earned. It almost feels though the gamer is not the main issue anymore.

Being a classic Street Fighter fan, I had to get used to the 3D aspect of the characters and the gameplay in this new iteration. It is still fun and the character adaptation from the 2D side scroll to 3D side scroll is good. Worth a rental for sure.

Nice Cross Gen game with stylish graphics. Characters have swap costumes that are available for purchase with different mixtures to have the look of another character. The fighting is fun as there are cross, partner, and "pandora" attacks. During pandora mode, your character is invincible for a short period of time at the expense of both characters. When the timer runs out, you will lose unless you have already finished off your opponents. However, there are storylines depending on each character/team you choose. Some of the dialogue is funny. Special characters include favorites such as Pac-Man and Megaman

My experience has been that fighting games such as this are better when you have people to play against online or in person. Unless you really make an effort to learn all the button combos by memory and study the way cards/special abilities should be used, this game is not quite as fun for the casual gamer.

The game was pretty good and I enjoyed the action, it just got boring fast with no missions or storyline.

Overall this game is very good and an entertaining way to kill off some time when boredom sets in. In order to enjoy this game fully though, you will pretty much need to suspend any and all common logic that would normally exist as this game follows none of it, which results in some good and bad things.

Pros:

There is a lot to like in this game, from the large playable character roster (somewhere around 40 I think), to the ability to use two of them at once, to the exhilarating combat and scenery, this game shines. The manic styles of the characters, fight zones, and combat techniques all make no sense and yet seem to fit rather well together. They also make most of the powerful combos easy to pull off (once you figure out what the symbols mean). The tutorial and missions help you to freshen up your skills and provide unique challenges when straight up brawls get too easy or tedious. Pandora ability looks awesome and adds a do or die angle to the fights.

Cons:

With the total suspension of logic involved in this game, there comes a few issues as well as benefits. While the game does fix the issue of some fighters being able to just spam attacks like projectiles to win, some characters can still rapidly produce attacks again and again that you yourself cannot do nearly as quick (one of my fights with M. Bison resulted in him almost exclusively blitzing back and forth with his Psycho Crusher move). The Power-Up Gems concept, while having occasional use, does not feel panned out enough and is very annoying more often than not. My only other complaint is the complete and total lack of explanation as to how the two franchises come to meet. Others at least try to piece a reason together but this one makes zero attempt at it.

Granted most of my complaints come from me being a bit of a content snob as a gamer so overall these are relatively minimal issues in the grand scheme of things. All said this is a great game to kill time for and I still highly recommen

Capcom's attempt at ruining the Tekken Franchise, it Glitchy and "crappyCombos. I am giving this won back without even finished all of the Campaigns. Also, you don't ask people that just dropped $50+ on your game to download Characters. Boards, Upgrades, that's acceptable, But not for characters, no. Sorry. Capcom fails again.

I Suck at fighting games......

With that being said Im giving a review on everything about the game that doesnt include me playing it. Yes I still rent and play fighting games even though I am absolutely awful at them, and no I dont know why. It doesnt take a Pavlov to figure out this game is a mash up of two fighting series characters. Its Street Fighter and Tekken (wish somebody would tell me what the the X is about). The game is gorgeous, it looks great, and the art style is about as good as you are going to get. The game runs smooth and had little to no video lag. Its a fighting game so the controls are what they are, for me they are difficult and annoying. To others they'll probably be perfect. Theres a huge choice of characters, Pac Man is apparently an unlock able character but since I suck I didn't know how to unlock him but that would of have been great to do so. Im starting to run out of characters here so short story is the game looks great, plays great and would be pretty awesome for anybody who is good at fighting games

Great idea bad execution

Before I begin with is review let me say I am huge Street Fighter and Tekken fan to the point that I have played mostly all of them (including SF Ex series & Tekken PSP). Now the review...... Where to begin.

Soundtrack (5/10): The in-game music is terrible! Reminds of Marvel vs Capcom 3 mixed with SF4 both of style separately are fine but together horrible luckily like SF4 you can play your own music. The character voices are the same mostly but for some reason Jin, Heihachi, and Kazuya sound different in Japanese vs how they sound in Tekken 6.

Graphics (5/10): I am going to split this in half because this mostly for the Tekken characters since the SF side looks exactly the same from SF4 which is good. However the Tekken characters look okay for the most part. The backgrounds are okay looking with some cameos in the background.

Gameplay: (2/10) This game plays like terribly. The SF characters play very similar to SF4 but not nearly as responsive with even the most basic moves/specials don't execute or get cancelled by a launcher. The Tekken characters did not fair any better which is strange considering that most of the moves in Tekken are 2D based! How did Capcom manage to make the game play so unresponsive and dull. The super moves for most of the Tekken characters are not very good or effective for that matter. Considering how it takes to fill the super meter the matches are over before being able to use the Cross-Assaults (which are useless). The gems and pandora are a joke as most fighting fans and EVO knows this to be true.

In conclusion this game is weak plain and simple..... Hopefully Namco's version will better, Tekken X Street Fighter 2013.

I played this game a total of maybe an hour before I decided I'd rather never play a mash up of games like this again. If your a tekken fan pass this game up its not worth your time. Also I was not aware I had to adjust the online features. So every time i tried story mode i was connected to the internet fighting someone else but i would just get kicked out every time so i was stuck at he same screen for a half hour being decline by everyone and their mom before i turned it off and actually played the game which itself is way to slow to be a fighting game unless your a SF fan i wouldn't even waste the game q slot just wait for tekken x street fighter.

3 out of 3 gamers (100%) found this review helpful

I rented this game off of redbox by the way I a m a huge fighting game fan.I like Tekken,Soul Calibur,Street Fighter etc. This game was good it seemed like a cross between Marvel vs Capcom and Street Fighter with a little Tekken in there.I did see with the juggling properties that they did however incorporate Tekken in ther fans so don't cry.For the averege gamer this probably is not the game you want to buy because like other fighting games it often takes a strenous amount of time to master the combos and master all of the moves and strategies of all of the characters.The Graphics are really good though it looks like they designed all of the characters and stages much like in the latest Street Fighter additions.Here is the all round deal with fighting games.

1.Time and effort

2.Patience

3.Losing in online play a lot is normal at first.

4.You may need the strategy guide.

5.If you are a COD player this is a huge transformation for you.

The game isn't bad at all if you are a fan of 2D fighters.

I don't think the 2D interface really suits Tekken characters well, as their combos and fighting styles are built for 3D movements. A lot of the characters I wanted to play as from Tekken lost a lot of their finese and fun when put on a 2D plane, like Law. He was built for speed, and agility. In 2D he loses a lot of his sidestep combos and fun.

Good for fans of these types of games, not going to make you a convert by any means.
