you don’t really have an advantage per se. you just have more options to choose from. There’s only 2 gems that are slightly better than their non-DLC counterparts and they’re both just “ok” gems IMO. The gems arent even that much of a factor. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a level playing field between people with and without DLC gems because of the activation conditions. although the preset gem selection sucks ass
Details aside, I disagree with the design philosophy.
i’d disagree with it if it had less content than AE has. But as is… I dont have a problem with it.
I’ll rent it and see what I think. If the gem system doesn’t fundamentally break it I might play. Mostly worried about pay to win.
Just fyi but ima have a few extra copies

nah there are DLC exclusive/pre-order exclusive/Special edition exclusive gems. You cant get those gems through the game itself.
In a way I agree with huckles coz theyre practically saying “if you dont preorder you’ll be at disadvantage before the game comes out!”, but I couldnt care less about the Chaos emeralds’ stupidity. I’ll just use the default sets and be done with it.
- still don’t get how pre-ordering is difficult.*
nope… preorder gems will be available after a month or 2 depending on which ones
its not difficult nigga, its just stupid that it gives you a derpy advantage.
plus fuck gamestop why should I have to preorder from those fags?
oh? cool didnt know that
yep… lil birdy rumors floating around again:
[LEFT] Okay, I’m gonna shoot down some Street Fighter x Tekken rumors because I am sick and tired of seeing everyone panicking over fake **** and screaming that Capcom is going to rip you off with day 1 DLC that is already on the disc.[/LEFT]
[LEFT]
Is ****.
Total ****.
Somebody made it up and convinced a ton of people that it was real. It’s not. Stop posting it.
However there WILL be some Day 1 DLC, but nothing like that. The ONLY DLC on Day 1 are a FREE Color Edit pack and the Costume Swap costumes. Interestingly enough, that guy got the pricing for it right. There will be a SF pack, a Tekken pack, and a combined pack that costs a bit less than the two separate. The rest of that list is completely false.
HOWEVER, there WILL be DLC characters proximately 1 month after release, and SOME (not all) of their data IS on the disc. Cody and Guy are true, but Leo and Christie are not. Though they ARE DLC characters and will be released eventually, they are not the first Tekken DLC characters. It is actually Jack X and Alisa.
The remainder of the DLC characters will be released approximately 2 months apart from each other, and will be released as such:
1st set: Cody, Guy, Jack X, Alisa
2nd set: Dudley, Elena, Leo, Christie
3rd set: Yun, Yang, Bryan, Lei
Capcom also expects to release two more DLC packs in the future. However, the contents of the packs are still up in the air. They’re listening to fans for the DLC they haven’t decided on, and they’re throwing a lot of names around, but nothing is set in stone yet. You can probably expect to see some popular characters like Sakura, Karin, R.Mika, Alex and Fei Long among the future DLC characters, but again, nothing has been decided yet.
The DLC characters will be able to be purchased single or altogether. Capcom’s goal with the DLC in this game is to sell MORE DLC for less money, making more money in the end. Each single character will be $3, or you can buy a pack of all 4 in a release set for $10.
And before somebody says it, no Blanka is NOT playable. He appears in a cutscene in some team’s story modes. That’s it. There’s several other non-playable characters that appear during the story mode as well.
As for Gems, the pre-order exclusive gems will be available for purchase approximately 1 month after release, and the special edition exclusive gems should be available approximately 2 months after release. They will cost $3 per pack. One new gem pack will be released every month after that, for however long Capcom feels like making more.
One more thing. Costumes. Yes, Capcom is going to release lots of costume packs, probably 3 or 4 by the time the game is done being updated. They’ll run for about the same price as the first Costume Swap pack.
Any questions?
Sakura and Karin both appear in Lily and Asuka’s story. They get defeated in an offscreen fight. Alex appears in any “good” Street Fighter team story, along with Sean. They sacrifice themselves to help your characters get closer to Pandora near the end.
(Someone asked about the Shop)
Artwork and such. You get points and can spend it on little bonus things. It’s supposed to be a “history of Street Fighter and Tekken” kind of thing. One cool thing is that there’s a bunch of menu screens that you can buy that have different characters clashing with each other. You can put whichever one you want on any of the customizable screens.
(Someone asked about the difference between Story and Arcade mode)
Story Mode requires you to use official teams. Arcade Mode is more traditional and lets you pick anyone. Oh, now that I think about it, I should mention the bosses.
At the end of story mode, you’ll fight a number of bosses, depending on whether you’re on the good or evil side.

Good Side: 1st: M.Bison x Juri. 2nd: Heihachi x Kuma. 3rd: M.Bison x Heihachi. 4th: Akuma x Ogre. 5th: Pandora Soul.
Evil Side: 1st: Ryu x Ken. 2nd: Jin x Xiaoyu. 3rd. Ryu x Jin. 4th: Akuma x Ogre. 5th:Pandora Soul.
As for that final boss (MAJOR SPOILER) Pandora Soul is a pair of two glowing dark energy balls. They can transform into any character (they transform when they come in from tag), but they always have Pandora Mode strength.

There will not be a Super version. People are pissed about stuff like SSF4AE and UMvC3 and Capcom has taken notice. There’s been some discussion of a “Game of the Year Edition” type deal where you can buy the game with all the DLC characters after everything has been released, but that’s not set in stone yet.
>>129779143
You can’t, sadly. Capcom wants to make as much money as possible off gems. However, you can make a Lobby Name that says “No Gems”, but people don’t have to obey it.
>>129779381
UMvC3’s weak sales are part of why Capcom has vowed not to make a Super version of SFxT.
It’s not that Capcom as a whole hates Alex, it’s ONO that hates Alex. He hates Karin too, for that matter. That’s mostly why they never made it into SF4.
CFAS will never be made. Probably.
The other two… Really not in my jurisdiction, sorry.
I forgot to mention before who the Arcade Mode bosses were. The final boss of Arcade Mode is always Akuma x Ogre but the next-to-final boss differs depending on your team. Even if you’re playing as that character, they’ll still be the same.
2 Good SF characters: M.Bison x Juri
2 Evil SF Characters: Ryu x Ken
1 Good and 1 Evil SF character: Ryu x M.Bison
2 Good Tekken Characters: Heihachi x Kuma
2 Evil Tekken Characters: Jin x Xiaoyu.
1 Good and 1 Evil Tekken Character: Jin x Heihachi
2 Good Characters from both series: M.Bison x Heihachi
2 Evil Characters from both series: Ryu x Jin
1 Good and 1 Evil character from both series: Ryu x Kazuya (Yes, this is the only situation where Kazuya is a boss.)
(Someone asked if something else would get the 3SO treatment and what were Capcom’s next fighting game plans)
>>129782661
There’s talks about doing it for Alpha 3, but nothing has been done yet.
>>129782691
Darkstalkers 4 is the next game. No more Street Fighter for the rest of the gen, but they want to push out Street Fighter Alpha 4 (and not SF5) as soon as they can next gen so it can be milked for the entire gen.[/LEFT]

[LEFT]Directed at a question for R. Mika…
Just a costume for Kuma. She does appear in a scene during Zangief and Rufus’ story though.
I think I need to elaborate on story mode a bit since some people think it’s going to be this huge thing, which it isn’t.
When you start Story Mode, you have to pick one of the official teams. It will play their little static intro video that you’ve probably seen online. Then you’ll have an intro fight. For example, Ryu and Ken fight Kazuya and Nina. Then you’ll get another static cutscene like the intro. That’s pretty much how all the cutscenes are aside from the CG trailers that you’ve seen thusfar (there’s a few more in the game though), just a couple pictures talking to each other. There are, of course, exceptions, like the scene in which Alex and Sean save your characters towards the end of a Good route.
The fights are mostly fixed, though there’s some random ones as well. For example, a little ways into story mode, a whole bunch of characters show up in the same town and a fight breaks out. You’ll get matched up against two random teams from the group during that part.
Most of the characters follow the same few paths to get to Pandora, so there’s actually very little difference in the flow of story mode depending on who you pick. The biggest differences come from whether your team is Good or Evil.[/LEFT]
Some people in this forum made it sound difficult. If it’s gives you derpy advantage then pre-order dat ho… nigga.
Nice that has alot of good info. Who said all that?
a lil birdy
well can you ask the birdy who the next characters that are gonna be revealed are? (not the DLC ones obviously coz he just named those…)
Akuma Ogre Bison and Jin were the final characters revealed for the final copy of the game. This was already confirmed by capcom a couple times. Every other character revealed after them are DLC
hmm really? I heard Ono tweeted that theyre not the last characters to be shown O.o
from my understanding from what brett said, everyone announced from this point on is DLC
Damn, what vegaman said above is straight disappointing… Every character I hoped would possibly be revealed after release got shot da fuk down in that big as wall of text and all the characters I hope weren’t going to make the roster sure as hell are, elena and guy are kool but fuck the others… Those characters would’ve made the SF roster for this game solid as fuuuuuuark… -_____-
i’m not looking forward to dudley. I would much rather have preferred alex or r mika… at least dee jay isnt in it
