Capcom’s newest fighting bombshell: Street Fighter X Tekken

Don't make fun of Ryu's face. You'd freak out too if you found yourself in a fight with Kazuya Mishima. Capcom has announced that it's working on Street Fighter X Tekken, a fighting game that combines the rosters of the Street Fighter and Tekken series (and offers an alternative for people who are "too cool" for the comic book cast of Marvel Vs. Capcom 3).

SFXT will be based on the Street Fighter IV engine, so Nina, Jin, Kazuya, and the rest will be limited to the 2D fighting plane. The game will be tag team-based, and players will be able to fight each other using teams of two fighters. Finally, you'll be able to have your own team of blonde, U.K.-born assassins with a Cammy/Nina tag team. The Tekken fighters will all get their own ultra combos as well, which should be interesting for Jin and Kazuya, whose punches are practically their own super moves.

Namco is apparently working on Tekken X Street Fighter, but details are extremely vague. Whether you consider the two games redundant or a refreshing twist on either series, 2011 will be a very good year for fighting game fans.
