It's not like there isn't a ton of deserving Street Fighter and Tekken characters that they could be giving the spot to. >_<
And Cole is hardly an "iconic" character. They were even going to completely overhaul his design a little while back.
I hope Tekken x Street Fighter is free of this junk.

Cole looks like he just stepped out of a rave circa 1997 so he fits in pretty well with Tekken's spiky hair/tribal tats universe.

Well, it makes slightly more sense than a Star Wars character in a Soul Calibur game, so there's that.

I just hate this cause these characters will be banned on consoles in competitive play. Assuming it makes it to the PS3 version. seems like a waste of character development that could go towards something everyone can use.
And i was guessing that revealing that ngp will really be called psvita was the worst part of the conference ....
Infamous dude ??? REALLY ????
You are talking about CAPCOM AND NAMCO entirely catalog for free and you choose some random dude that nobody will remember in the future ?

You realize what a small percentage of buyers of these games are competitive tourney players?

Even if this game only sells 100k, tournament players would still be a very small minority.

I'm assuming sony paid them so it balanced out nicely on their end in that regard. I get what you are saying though, because as a consumer, I get someone being upset if they own a 360. Maybe I shouldn't assume though.ARXIN said:

I'm aware most people aren't competitive players that why i'm just giving my opinion of why I think it's unwanted. I didn't like it in Soul Calibur IV. Mortal Kombat and really don't like it in SFXT. I'll get over it just venting.

Well it's seemingly been popular in Soul Calibur and Mortal Kombat, so it appears you are in the minority. Personally I don't mind it, it's just a neat little throw in, and if you don't like the character it's fairly easy to avoid.
Also games like MvC and Smash Bros are popular as hell too and that's all about the novelty of seeing different characters paired up against each other. Don't see the big deal.

If they are Dutch, upright and breathing they are more racist than your favorite player
I think he actually fits really well but hotdamn that is one random character for Sony to be dropping their money on.

I'm just glad they didn't use Jak or something.Raging Spaniard said:
Given Cole's powers though, he'd honestly seem like a far more fitting pick for an MvC game.

The Star Wars characters in Soul Calibur were very divisive. There wasn't a huge wave of support for them.Ninja Scooter said:
As for the concept of guest characters in fighting games, yes it brings attention to the game, but I think it does more harm than good. Guest characters are usually only around for one game, so competitive players have no incentive to use them, and all the development spent on making a move set for them is gone to waste once the next game comes.
Also, I personally think it effects the tone and the presentation of the games, and cheapens the product. But obviously it's just my opinion. Lots of people eat this stuff up and would be happy if every game had cross over characters in it.

If it's just for the vita then yeah I don't care. My anger was just a knee jerk reaction brought on by Soul Calibur IV Induced nightmares.Busaiku said:
I don't mind guest stars at all I just like both consoles to be on equal footing.

It will be interesting to see if a 3DS version is announced tomorrow..
Wessiej said:
Neither is Kratos in Mortal Kombat. But hey: Free character that can't be played at Tournaments so big whoop.
Busaiku said:
And? The fact you can play Street vs Tekken on the go casually is huge, if Capcom ported Marvel 3 and Street 4 the PSP2 would be killer out of the gate.

It does more good than harm. There are plenty of people that will give the game a try and even buy it just because this dude is in the game.Gunloc said:
Competitive players don't make up the majority of the sales of a fighting game, and they sure as hell aren't the reason a fighting game is ever a huge success. Seriously, anyone that plays fighters competitively has absolutely nothing to bitch about when it comes to guest characters. If they weren't making a shitty guess character, they could just as easily be making a shitty clone, or a shitty original character.

Cole does come off very odd in a game about Street Fighter vs Tekken as opposed to being a bonus char in a standard iteration of either of those games. Whatever though, he's a bonus, no big deal.
