Early look at Ryu from Namco's Tekken X Street Fighter

More realistic doesn’t automatically = better.

It depends on the overall tone of the game.

Thank goodness SF4 didn’t look like this, because it doesn’t go well with the exaggerated, spectacular-style of SF.

It might work for Tekken, though. He looks so skinny, though…

I agree. the face is slightly too long and not square enough. still looks really awesome though. if this was the final version i would have been really happy with it but since it is still 2 years away probably it is bound to get a whole lot better.
Can’t wait to see Chun li and Fei Long.

That was Ryu in the eighties, I knew the character in that way, redhead with a rebel air and Kung Fu footgear.
I always said this character was ruined by the Street Fighter II designers.
When they turned Ryu more bulky with short black hair and that ugly George Clooney/latino face, Ryu lost much personality.

And I love Tekken’s graphic style since Tekken Tag Tournament, Ryu isn’t the exception.

You found more T x sf pics? SHARE!

need more evil ryu

and violent ken

and drunken dan

and

The first model they should have fixed was He-Man Ken. Goddamn, that’s the worst character design in SF4.

That sure is an amazingly average model with nothing worth noting at all. I don’t even get why they showcased Ryu first, it’s not as if there’s anything defining about him besides a red headband and weird eyebrows.

That’s Ryu. He screams “generic”. Always has. He was once described as someone you wouldn’t look at twice except for his inappropriate clothing.

Well if you want Ryu to be a skinny ginger kid with red shoes i think ure on your own mate

god his eyes are still really annoying, they are like huge trapezoids. thats really the only bad thing about that drawing

FLCL: Those…EYEBROWS…

For an early look, it’s promising, but I’m not surprised, because I don’t expect less of people from Namco. I’ve been wanting to play with Street Fighter characters in 3D gameplay for so long. I prefer it for them in general.

possible gameplay still makes no sense to my brain.

I can’t imagine how zoning characters would work at all, or even charge characters.

I can think of a few characters who would work in the Tekken universe; Most grapplers would do well like Zangief and Hugo, not sure about T.Hawk though. I really want to see how they would handle Abel if he’s in the game.
I really want to see how they would handle Balrog too but he’s a charge character so I don’t know how that would work. I just want to see him face off vs Steve Fox, they’re like polar opposites in boxing. Dudley would work but I think he’d play too similar to Steve.

Anyone else think it would be cool to have a “combined” SFIV/Tekken 6 artstyle in some game?

Something along the lines of RYU by ~3dsquid on deviantART.

A game that looked like that would be hot.

This and i really like ryu’s model in this and its good for an early build of the game. I can’t wait to see how sagat will look and how vega,blanka and old fire mouth will play =D.

Ugh.

I personally hoping none of those characters make it in at all, but that’s being far too optimistic.

i dont know how anyone is confused how certain characters are going to work

theyre going to have a lot of normals obviously and their moves arent going to work like they do in street fighter, theyre going to work like they would in tekken

i dont see this game having cancels at all but maybe strings in which youd be able to hit confirm strings or specific moves youd be able to add ‘special’ moves too

its going to be a tekken game just like sfxt is going to be an sf game

They may change the game slightly to accomododate for the SF characters but I imagine they would just redesign the Street Fighters as if they were brand new regular Tekken characters.

You wouldn’t see a character with charging Sonic Boom and Flash Kick special moves in a standard Tekken game would you? So neither would Guile in Tekken X Street Fighter.

I can predict much complaining when we do get to hear more news about the controls - “they play as if they were Tekken characters in a Tekken game! I don’t want to have to relearn a character I’ve been using for the last twenty years!” Me, I’ll enjoy seeing the changes, if I don’t like them then I have the Capcom game to fall back on.

what about jumping in the tekken version?

that is completely different.

sf jumping is above you
tekken jumping is along side you.
no cross up game.

is the fireball game going to be like battle arena tosiden no.1?
