Street fighter x Tekken

He's console exclusive, so your chances of seeing him in any serious tournaments are pretty much zero.

First, of course, we need to see if the game itself (and the "gem" system) turns out balanced enough to even be considered for tournament play in the first place...

Didn't stop the Evo organizers though I'm sure Capcom had a pretty direct part in that happening.

Negative.
He is exclusive to the PS3/Vita & Evo is dumb so every game is on the PS3. Unless they change that sometime soon.

True, but the PS3 exclusive characters would still be banned to accommodate those who only have a 360 to practice on. Happened with Kratos in MK.

Wasn't it confirmed that gems could be turned off? Also, balrog is now in the game, so i'm interested

Last I heard the designers were insisting that the gems were an indispensable part of the game and were refusing to include a "no gem mode", but maybe I missed something since then?

Ono said they were planning to release a DLC tournament mode to assuage the concerns of competitive players... there's no detail of what it will involve though. In the worst case scenario, you can just not pick any gems for tournaments, though that just won't fly online.

(Unless the game changes dramatically from the last videos, I'm really not feeling it... am I a bad person for hoping it'll be bad enough my local scene won't pick it up at all )

(note: Capcom is claiming that these three things are problems)



All I can say is LOL.
