Street Fighter X Tekken delivers the ultimate tag team match up featuring iconic characters from each franchise, and one of the most robust character line ups in fighting game history. With the addition of new gameplay mechanics, the acclaimed fighting engine from Street Fighter IV has been refined to suit the needs of both Street Fighter and Tekken players alike. Street Fighter X Tekken is headed to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2012, and announced by Ono-san at New York Comic-Con, a PC version that just began development. More details on the PlayStation Vita version and the PC version will be revealed in the future.

Gem System
Official Site Updated
Same Character, Different Fighting Style!
The Gem System is a brand new feature introduced in SFxT. Gems will activate as you fulfill certain conditions in battle, and will give your character a power-up! Even in a same-character battle, abilities will vary depending on the types of Gems that have been equipped! Create your own fighting style that matches your personal preferences.

■Gem Types
There are various different types of Gems. Their effects are designated by color, so in the heat of battle you can see what types of Gems your opponent has set. Players can change their characters' abilities based on their own play-style, meaning you'll never really have a mirror match!

Red Gems increase attack power!

Yellow Gems increase defense!

Green Gems provide a speed boost!

■Activation Conditions
Gems have many different activation conditions. There are Gem types that do not fall into the categories explained above!

Activates as you attack!

..And there are Gems that activate as you are attacked!

Gems that activate as you connect with a special move!

It really looks like it might be the best capcom fighting game in a long time IMO.

V_Ben · Oct 14, 2011

Well, perhaps we know when the Vita will be out by... or near there.

lupinko · Oct 14, 2011

That's certainly interesting, yet an expected date.

Calcaneus · Oct 14, 2011

I still can't tell if this game looks awesome or terrible visually, I hope they touch it up before release.

rikichi · Oct 14, 2011

wtf, rufus only announced??

Game looks a lot better in person(Played it at Fightclub LA few weeks ago). It's definitely just a glossier, colorful version of SFIV with more imaginative backgrounds visually. I do like the more dynamic camera angles though on throws for instance.

- autoblock & auto throw escape gems Audience is booing.

- New trailer, Ken got F**** UP by These new launchers

- Oh, pc version of SFxT

- March 6th release date, but that doesnt matter to me now does it?

CountAntonius · Oct 14, 2011

Fans booing the gem system just sounds horrific. I hope it's scrapped...

PC version is great news.

Mass Effect 3 if I recall.

Anth0ny · Oct 14, 2011

AE 2012 December 13. Nice!

And day one for SFxT, of course.

MrDaravon · Oct 14, 2011

Autoblock and auto-throw evade gems are quickly plummeting my interest in this game.

autoblock gems?
:lol x100

TGMIII · Oct 14, 2011

"autoblock & auto throw escape gems Audience is booing"

What in the holy fuck is this shit. Really capcom?
Guess I'll just wait for the revision which nerf/removes them.

It was, then they made it so you can't cancel specials form chained normal combos, then added Pandora and now Gems.

Now it looks like the worst.

Omg what a day that's gonna be.

Lothars · Oct 14, 2011

Mass Effect 3 and I don't know if Bioshock's date has been announced yet.

voodoopanda · Oct 14, 2011

My question is if the gem system is for competitive versus mode or if its just a part of the single player game a la the world tour mode in Alpha 3 home versions. If I remember right, you could unlock and equip an Autoblock ability in that too.

notworksafe · Oct 14, 2011

Not sure why everyone is upset. Are gens confirmed as required to be equipped?

Kai Dracon · Oct 14, 2011

Street Fighter X Tekken X One of Everything EVAR

Next up: Goldfish Mode where you select a helper goldfish before a match and depending on the color of the fish:

1. Gold = random instant 5 bar super charge

2 Red = enemy team randomly can't recover life while tagged out

3 Green = Ono randomly pops out from the corner, laughs, and one player is instantly knocked out and the match goes to the other guy.

Amagon · Oct 14, 2011

Will wait for the Ultimate Edition next November for this game.

Min-interview with Seth on the Gem System - http://iplaywinner.com/news/2011/10/14/sfxt-seth-killian-nycc-mini-interview.html

Frantic · Oct 14, 2011

Autoblock and autothrow tech?

PC version?

I'm conflicted...

I was hoping it be a side mode as well then I read this bit of an interview with Seth Killian

Q: Are gems a handicap system?

A: What do you mean?

Q: Are they just to give new players a leg-up, or will they be used in tournaments?

A: Tournament players will want to use them.

Q: Do you earn more gems by playing the game?

A: TBD

How the hell would tournaments use these things? Give a player time to set up his gems? I don't like it.

RPGamer92 · Oct 14, 2011

So Mass Effect 3, Max Payne 3, and Street Fighter x Tekken are all coming out in March. Crazy.

FallingEdge · Oct 14, 2011

rofl. You guys act like this game was going to be any good to begin with.

Moaradin · Oct 14, 2011

SF x T and Mass Effect 3 are actually coming out on the same day. Pretty insane.

Lothars · Oct 14, 2011

It will be.

Damn It's worth it though, I will be buying both day one.

baekshi · Oct 14, 2011

I'll be waiting for Super Acrade Street Fighter X Tekken Edition.

Volcynika · Oct 14, 2011

I was like "Yay PC version," then remembered it was Capcom and that they'll probably use GFWL.

ShockingAlberto · Oct 14, 2011

I don't see a reason why the PC version shouldn't launch alongside the console ones.

That said it will probably be six months late just because.

Ferrio · Oct 14, 2011

Okay I retract my post in this thread. That gem system might single handedly kill the game.

Slamtastic · Oct 14, 2011

The Gems activates under certain conditions (ex. getting hit by "X" amount of normals, or hit someone with a special. and cost meter.

so, streaks and perks

Flying_Phoenix · Oct 14, 2011

Glad to hear there's a PC version in the works.

And six months after that they will likely release: Hyper Street Fighter X Tekken for consoles.

Oh well at least we're getting fighting games for PC. Baby steps.

Neki · Oct 14, 2011

MrMephistoX · Oct 14, 2011

Rufus was the only character announced? I thought he was already in it: must've gotten him confused with Bob.

Ferrio · Oct 15, 2011

Exclusive preorder gems? ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh. Way to ruin a great game. If the gem system can't be disabled, this game is DOA.
