Another aspect is Pandora, and it will give you a massive increase to both health and power, but you have to sacrifice your other character. Moreover, you can use both your characters to create a devastating combo called a “Cross Art”. Street Fighter X Tekken is innovative in that if you end a normal attack combo with two heavy hits, you will launch your opponent into the air and switch to your other character to continue the combo. It was enjoyable, but like all fighters, it becomes stale once you can easily beat the AI.Īdding to the fray of special moves are new additions, like “Super Arts” or “Cross Assaults”. You should be able to complete the story mode with your characters within about ½ an hour, that is, without fight request. This would not be so bad if you only had to redo the round, but you have to redo the entire match every time it happens. There is only one issue with this, and it is that online matches interrupt your current fight. You can actually set up a match online in-between story fights and go back to the story once finished.
In story mode, you have the option of fight requests.

The story itself made sense to me, but for those that do not know much about fighters or the stories in the previous series they may be lost with certain references. I didn’t really care about the story as it was generic and did little for the game except provide a reason for the new development ‘Pandora’. As such the story is limited to a small segment of the character’s background or purpose in seeking Pandora, with the ending being what they do after they attain it. Street Fighter X Tekken is ultimately about kicking your opponent’s butt the focus is on the battle and not the story. It is claimed that curiosity about the origin of the box, as well as the power that may be contained in it led to those who sought to rule the world with unrivaled power to seek it. One night in Antarctica, Pandora fell from the sky and word spread that there was a mysterious box that possessed some type of power unknown to the fighters of the Street Fighter or Tekken series. The story of Street Fighter X Tekken is about a box called Pandora. So I was very curious to see how this game would play out once it hit retail. Needless to say, there has been a lot of hype about Street Fighter X Tekken due to social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and Capcom have marketed this game quite well. Street Fighter X Tekken follows the 2D style of fighters, throwing back to the 16-bit era of Street Fighter II. This is not the first time they have met, as 2005’s Namco X Capcom pitted Street Fighter characters against Tekken characters. Street Fighter X Tekken is another game in the crossover fighter genre, set in 2D between Street Fighter, Capcom and Tekken characters.
