Also please cover Namco X Capcom and it's sequel series Project X Zone. I love those titles to death.

    This is the second time I heard that people believed a new Darkstalkers was going to be announced before the revelation of Street Fighter x Tekken. While my dark soul still burns for a new Darkstalkers, given the debacle that was SFxTK, the terrible practices of Capcom at the time and the general state of Capcom up until recently, I’m kind of glad Darkstalkers didn’t return during that period, but the longer wait further fuels the fire of my heart for Darkstalkers!

    I was hella hyped this game ( and the Tekken version) back in 2010-2011. Here are some of the things that made me pretty disappointed.
    1. It had to be a mandatory full blown tag team fighter.
    2. Odd characters pairings & rivalries : Really Bob and Julia?
    3. Pandora and chaos emeralds gems had to be 60% apart of the gameplay.
    4. Story: why did it to revolve around those stupid pandora chaos emeralds , or what ever they are the story should have been more straight fowards like they with the Capcom vs SNK series , like where Shadaloo or the Zaibatsu was holding a world fighting tournament.
    5. Music: the remixes were meh.
    6. Roster: it's good but not enough. This could've been a very good crossover debuts for characters like Fei Long, Gouken ,Gen and Oro etc on the Capcom side. Imagine rivalries like Gen vs Feng Wei!
    7. Finally the DLC obviously.
    Despite how mediocre the game was I still actually want the Tekken x Street Fighter to come out, and even maybe try to do some sort of a improved sequel to The Capcom version because I think Capcom could've done way better than what they really did.

    @mitchnissen7175 4 роки тому +1

    Speaking only for me and my group of friends, it boiled down to two reasons: 1) We loved 2D fighters primarily with the only exception being Soul Calibur. We preferred Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, Fatal Fury/KOF, Darkstalkers, and such others. We had little interest in Tekken so we didn't care much for the idea of a crossover. 2) We were kinda fed up with Capcom's crap by that point as we had shelled out too much money already on the many SF4s and MVC3s. We had had enough of Capcom by then. I wouldn't mind giving the game a go now though.

  • @hmoham
    @hmoham 3 роки тому +1

    The over saturation may have had something to do with it, but I think the two biggest factors were the Gen system, that had fans worried it would make the game pay to win , and the on-disk DLC that left a sour taste. Also to a lesser degree the fact that the PS3 version had 5 extra characters didn't sit well with those who played on Xbox.

    This game failed because of the poor decision to include DLC characters on the disc. That pissed off everyone. I bought it, and it pissed me off. Nobody was playing it online a month later. It was fun, but something about it felt rushed. It just didn't feel right. The 2013 patch apparently helped with balance and other things. But it was too little, too late. The damage was done. I didn't jump back into it. I don't think many other people did either. Capcom can be geniuses, and then the biggest dumb asses a short time later. I love them most of the time, and then they push it too far. It is how they have been since the NES days.

    It failed because it was a cross over that made zero sense. You have a 2D energy based fighting game vs a 3D based hand to hand combat fighting system. It should have been
    Tekken vs Virtua Fighter or
    Tekken vs Dead or Alive
    Games in the same fighting style and fighting plains.

    Solo campaign in fighting games are dying, Dead or Alive 5 and 6, Street fighterV Mortal kombat 11 and more, they are all making a single story where you have to play different characters (not all of them) in one playthrough to achieve an ending (often really bad with no replay value whatsoever). Secret characters, levels and costumes are all hiding behind a paywall nowadays, hell, even voices of characters have to be bought separately (Guilty gear Xrd). What a sad thing to witness one of your favorite genre's demise (little by little they focus more on the online features and less on the solo experience because of the money).
    Yes I'll say it, it was much better in the old days.

    I've played Street Fighter since street fighter 2 and owned it on SNES. I've also played and owned every Tekken since the first game for PS1. To be honest there were a few issue with the game that kept several of my friends from playing it. The first is that it was not particularly a good game for the Tekken characters. It was very awkward attempting to play most of the tekken characters. They did a great job of getting them to work visually in the Street Fighter IV style but a large portion of the fighters didn't adapt well in the street fighter system. Also a huge complaint from most of the people I know was the super moves. Every street fighter character by that time had 2 or more super moves that could've been used. And the Tekken characters had a ton of moves and grabs that could've been turned into supermoves in that game. But every character only had one if I recall. That took away from the fighting and strategy of most fighters which was disappointing.

      I still love the game but I'd stopped playing because there were so many other fighting games at the time that were available and more interesting from that era (Tekken Tag 2 being at the top of that list)

    I remember being around when it came out and I feel like the competitive scene was playing something else so this just kinda came and went without much fan fair. I bought it, it didn't seem very deep or interesting so I think I ended up just selling it back a few days later.

    As endlessly hilarious as what they did with Mega Man in this game, I can't blame MM fans from being completely butthurt by the move. It came at a BAD time for the franchise before Capcom realized they could make money off of the character via merchandising, when game after game were cancelled and the Street Fighter franchise being seen as the only viable profitable one.

  • @zero195
    @zero195 4 роки тому +1

    Yeah... Capcom's BS on disc DLC practice was on full display with this. Take into account the gem system that they wanted to milk as DLC for years didn't fly because gems were banned in tournaments because of unbalance issues and the fact that picking took FOREVER, thus slowing the tournament to a crawl, as well as the Sony exclusive characters being banned because of said exclusivity as well as the cats being broken (Oddjob vibes). And to top it all off it had that kinda cheap feel since all the Capcom characters were copy pasted over from SF4, thus taking us back to when Capcom was reusing sprites and assets for all the games they were cranking out (see Capcom Fighting Evolution) that almost killed the genre to begin with. Also, it came out on Vita.
    A Tekken X SF game would be good right about now since Namco has been doing quite good work with Tekken 7 and Soul Caliber. In comparison, Capcom (at least their fighting games division) has had not 1 but 2 high profile dumpster fires that were OG SF5 and Marvel Infinite. Capcom is LOOSING in the genre that they pretty much invented and were kings of for years (SNK has had solid outing with the new SamSho and KOF14, and games like Skull Girls and Them's Fightin' Herds doing surprisingly well for indies). So yes, a NAMCO led cross game is still desirable and considering Capcom isn't doing anything with fighting games, why not let someone else take a crack at it.

    Harada has nothing to worry about since Namco usually isn't as greedy as Capcom. He just need to approach the business practice the same as he does Tekken.

  • @perseusn4336

  • @n1hondude

    It failed because Capcom was full of greedy COONTS and plagued by bad decisions
    How to fix the game:
    - NOT make the DLC included on the disc, OR make it available from day 1, it WAS on the trailers so that's false advertising
    - REMOVE gems altogether, it's completed UNRELATED to the in-game Pandora system
    - Fix Pandora by simply NOT killing you after elimination and leaving you with 1HP, plus give it a 2-3x power boost
    - Have included FEI LONG instead of that shitty Megaman for that much deserved Bruce Lee clone dreammatch!!!

    As a long time Tekken fan myself, I kinda find it difficult to transfer and exercise my skills in Tekken into the series. While the game is advertise as a cross between Streetfighter and Tekken, game predominantly plays like a street fighter game more than anything else. Furthermore, I'm not too hot on the gems either. I find that to be game breaking for me especially since those who paid extra to get the better gems did break the game's balance. Lastly, game breaking bugs like the "Megaman" timer scam is basically the preferred play for a long time given how much mileage one got from using such a tactic especially in tournament play.

    i think i'd have to agree with you that the reason sfxtekken was not as successful as it could have been came down to the fact that sf4 had already captured so much of the fighting game market/audience at the time that there simply wasnt enough room left over for sfxtekken to flourish
