you might want to add cody guy and hugo to that list of sf4 chars and i reaally want urien in

Out of the street fighter side i have a strong hunch there going to add third strike characters not used in sf4, well the popular ones like alex and elena, hopefully urien. From alpho hopefully r.mika,rolento,and karin since alot of people also want them. I can see rolento working really well in this game.

Actually it was Seth this time.
Come on guys, Seth refered to Cody, Guy, AND Hugo not being confirmed. Do you honestly think they aren’t going to make it?

It’s not a comeback mechanic. Can be activated any time with 3 bars.

They are in. Do not let me imagine a world where I can be Final Fight trolled so hard.

As for Cross-Assault, it’s more of a “I will shit on you with literally impossible to block scenarios for x amount of seconds now. Kthx.” So it can be a powerful comback mechanic, but you can also use it if you are winnig fiercly with both scenarios yielding the (Possible) same results.

Seriously, watching that interview with Seth, what do you do? Imagine Sim’s headbutt with serious rushdown. Ugh my goodness, the unholy pressure. I understand you can catch two characters and use it on your own, but the former seems hard against a smarter opponent (Yoshi sword, Tatsu, etc… are good examples of strong “auto-pilot” cover) and the latter is the type of cluster fuck that looks as hard to watch as it is random.

Edit: Also, I’ve read the topic (For some dozen pages, give or take a few) and I have not seen what exactly it is that dictates when you can use Cross-Assault when meter is not full. Is it really health-related? I have read you can use it at any time (I think in an article on the front page).

From what I’ve seen in the stream, it looks like having changing characters be a command (:p: + :mk:? ) would be a better choice. Mashing into unblockable setups seems to be too overpowered and overrides any thought of switch on neutral being an execution barrier (since all you need to do is mash light and mediums).

I believe it’s when your health bar is flashing.

They changed Poison’s gender because; back in the day feminist groups were taking everything a little too serious, and scared to be sued by them Capcom decided. Because they considered that hitting women in America was a rude thing, they made the decision to give her a penis… end of story… the true and only story.

Smart call imo.

So are there any streams of SFxTK anywhere?

Haha, as much as I like Karin too… it was a lot of work. People are bugging me to switch my focus to Harada now to get Poison into Tekken x Street FIghter. But honestly I think I’m done. Got what I wanted. If Poison isn’t in the other game that’s fine with me.

Ex’s chars should be revived imo, I haven’t seen any of them in any SF sequels which is kinda disappointing. I know from myself that the Ex’s series was far to be listed top SF games, but still, there were some pretty sick characters. e.i. Garuda or the cycloides or even shadowgeist and skullomania

Get it inside your skulls, Capcom does not own the EX characters.

And we have our latest batch of quality [S] trolling[/S]information by Ono.

Those weren’t really trolls though, just bad engrish. If he spoke better english that would be rather straight forward stuff.

“Sorry can’t talk about any charecters we haven’t revealed”
“Oh you like Juri? We weren’t really sure if we should put her in”

Not to mention Arika is doing their own game with them.

I think we shouldn’t worry too much about CA (at least just yet) is that it uses meter, unlike ultras and XF. With the game being meter heavy as it is, CA is not something to flip out about. At least this way, the mechanic has to be fleshed out and will probably have teams built around it to maximise the strat of getting 3 meters and creating setups, unlike XF, which simply dominates the gameplay. That, and characters with quick alpha counters can keep this in check.

They could always buy those rights back. Having Arika’s chars dust off and implemented in such a blockbuster as SFxT would be a honor. After all, they made SF2

Are any characters from the EX series popular?

Garuda, Kairi, Skullomania, Doctrine Dark, Volcano Rosso, Cracker Jack Nanase, Hokuto.

I’m pretty sure there’s a handful of popular characters. I know I’d love to see Skullomaina in another SF game but I’m not holding my breath.

On a side note: Do you guys think that maybe with Cross Assault you’d only have to block the character the user is currently controlling? That seems like it’d be a lot more likely to me than just trying to manually block every single thing coming at you.

They’re popular enough for people to keep asking for them. If there weren’t legal issues, I’m sure they’d be in newer games.

I said to Ono today:
“Please give us Lili! Then you are the best! ;D”

And he replied:
“I’ll be try ;D”

I know it’s one of his typical answers and Lili is maybe pretty much confirmed due to the E3 Trailer.
But damn I really want to see Lili. She is my favorite Tekken character. :slight_smile:

I doubt that we will get customization like Tekken, but at least we get some customization and that’s more than SSF4 had. :smiley:

Hmmm I know its not applicable here but it would be awesome if the stuff we saw in CvSNK2 in terms of customization came back. :shy:
