Capcom Reveals 8 New Characters For Street Fighter X Tekken In 2 Videos.

More news for Street Fighter X Tekken, yesterday it was posted by Capcom-Unity.  In 2 videos the roster for this anticipated fighting game just got significantly bigger.  The hype is beginning get out of hand as the release date for this title draws near.  Capcom is making a lot of effort to make sure this rounds out into a very good looking & well played fighting game.  The videos provide gameplay & cinematics of this title, and everything seems to be rounding out very nicely.  We can’t wait to get our hands on this game this March.

This roster has received 8 characters, most of which were expected.  On the Tekken side we get some favorites. The obviously inspired by Bruce Lee, Marshall Law.  The Chinese Kung-Fu wielding school girl, Xiauyu.  My personal favorite, Paul Phoenix, with fighting game’s tallest flattop and comes off as a cross between Street Fighter‘s Ken & Guile.   Also, in the cinematic video it has Jin looking like a boss and ready to wreck things at the very end of it.

Representing Capcom on the Street Fighter side of things we receive most of the villainy that has been the head of Shadaloo since Street Fighter II.  We now see gameplay action of both the boxer Balrog and the masked claw wielding narcissist, Vega.  Nothing like seeing getting smashed in the face and getting sliced to pieces afterwards.  It looks like this game will just be another Tuesday as in the cinematic video we see that M. Bison officially graces this game.  All the characters mentioned have all been mainstays of their series.  Then finally the evil, crazy, Tae Kwan Doe master and eager to kick everyone in the face Juri from Super Street Fighter IV.  These additions definitely keep the excitement up for this game.   Also, it is worth noting that there is a teaser at the end of the gameplay character introduction video it mentions that a PS Vita version of this game is currently in development, so that gives another reason for gamers to pony up the dough for a PS Vita if they are interested playing this title on the go.

A lot of people are expecting this to set the standard for fighting games in 2012, with a March release date, it won’t be long before we find out.  If we hear anything else about this upcoming fighting game, we will be sure to report it.
