There is a matter of concern I must address before I continue on with this review. Tekken is a whole different ball game than Street Fighter, so the question is how Capcom has done in merging these two franchises and combatting the problem in their latest crossover game? One word – superbly! It’s a game where things like Hadoukens don’t exist and juggles reign supreme. Tekken is a series with philosophies that are based around a 3D environment, allowing you to manipulate your character in 3 full dimensions rather than just towards and backwards. There was one thing in common with the crossover games mentioned – all their mechanics and gameplay were based around the principle of 2D fighting. SNK has been involved too in the past, with Capcom creating two Capcom vs. Right now, they have Marvel characters fighting off with the cast from some well-known Capcom games. How times have changed, because right now I’ve just had the pleasure of taking down King with some EX-Tatsumaki skills from Ken, and I felt so damn awesome while doing it.Ĭapcom is no stranger to the world of crossovers. Amusingly, if you had asked me five years ago if a game would come out that would let you pit the best of the Street Fighter characters against that of the Tekken cast, I would have humbly laughed in your face. I have a deep affection for them, and have played most of the franchises that dedicate themselves to letting you beat up the opposition in whatever manner is available. If there’s one thing I do love playing in the world of gaming, it’s fighting games.
