What is Cross Assault?
"Cross Assault" is live and uncut, spanning the course of 7 days, with two teams — Team Street Fighter and Team Tekken —
facing off against each other under the coaching of two legendary players from the fighting game community, all with a grand prize of $25,000.
Five players will be chosen for each team, all competing in a series of skill-based challenges surrounding Street Fighter x Tekken,
with the coach for each team working with the players to find the most effective strategies to lead their team to victory.
Players who don't make the cut will have to rely on their fighting game skills to avoid being eliminated from the competition.
That's right, being dope at boogie boarding or jump roping wont help you here — it's all about your fighting game skills in "Cross Assault"!

Who is making it?
CAPCOM, IPLAYWINNER and TEAM SPOOKY are pulling the best of the best from the community to make this a production unlike anything you've seen before.
We've assembled an all-star team — many of which who helped make the EVO2K11 stream one of the most watched competitive gaming events of all time
— to ensure this is a production that stays true to what makes the fighting game community so amazing.
Our favorite Online Warrior Maximilian and GAF member bluerei are also working on the project.
