Ambitius crossover

One of the most ambitious crossovers in the history of crossovers. Heroes of two iconic series of fighting games will battle against each other at the most popular locations from both franchises.

Story and setting

Despite the format, the game has a story: according to it, the world was hit by a cataclysm - an object of unknown origin fell into Antarctica. It emits water-like energy that enhances the capabilities of the fighters. For most fighters, the story is standard. The exception is made for the anchor characters from both series: Ryu and Ken or Kazuya and Nina. In total, the game has 38 characters, 19 of each series.

Key Features

In terms of gameplay, the game is a mix of two combat systems: there are mechanics as Super Combos and EX Attacks from Street Fighter built into the classic for Tekken gameplay. All characters from SF series are controlled by a six-button system, and for Tekken fighters, a standard four-button control is available. Players choose two characters: one from each universe. Fighters can be changed right during the battle. The game also features two new mechanics: the Gem System and Pandora Mode. Thanks to the first, the player can put up to three gems on the fighter that improve from the characteristics, and the second turns on when one of the fighters left less than 25% of health. In this case, this character can be sacrificed in favor of Pandora Mode, which enhances the remaining character strength and gives an infinite Cross Gauge.

Street Fighter X Tekken is a 2012 crossover fighting video game published by Capcom, who co-developed the game with Dimps, for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation Vita, and with QLOC for Windows. The game features characters from both the Street Fighter franchise and Namco's Tekken series. In the game, players control teams of two characters in tag team fighting matches, with the objective to knock out the members from the opposing team. In addition to the game's multiplayer modes, the game also features a single-player Story mode with a plot revolving around a mysterious object called the "Pandora".
