Am I the only one thinking that adding Akuma, Geese, Noctis, Negan and Eliza to Tekken 7's roster is actually a huge dvelopmnent and audience test for Tekken X Street Fighter?
This should be very obvious, but I sometimes see ppl question the idea of 2d characters in Tekken 7. Like they completely forgot SFxTekken existed and that Bamco was working on their version of the crossover game but held back cos of SFxT's performance.
Honestly this game came out too early. As in it was above its time and not appreciated for what it does compared to today. Three things could fix this game easily. Removed the gem system, buff the timer so fights are not rushed, and make it to where both char has to die instead of 1. Simple fix on top of character patch a little this game was my favorite.
Jamal Edwards the end product was an AMAZING game and people would still be playing it today if they nurtured it the same way they nurture the rest of their sf games. I’m sure if they drop a little remaster, they can get that hype back but on the same token, i don’t think the teller team wants the heat back on them to make their game.
@@jamaledwards8118 Gems being disabled in tournaments made the game much slower, You could literally two touch kill in that game if you optimized your gems right lmao but No body experimented!
This was fascinating. I'm not much of a fighting game fan myself but i love hearing the history behind big game launches and how it impacted the gaming culture around it. I was aware of the on-disk dlc controversy at the time. That was incredibly shady.
funny thing is i really like Street Fighter x Tekken. i like the art style, the controls, the roster, the dialogue. Buuuuuuut the on disk DLC, and the gem sytem, and i was never a fan of Tekken Tag's one life mechanic, where when one character loses health and thats it for the round. I was not a fan of those. I had fun but its a game i both like and dont like
A huge problem with the game play that you may have forgotten to mention was "30-60-90" or rather that outside of some exceptions, all characters dealt universal damage, all jabs did 30, all mediums did 60, and all heavies did 90.
@@jabapiper Heavy characters gets a bad disadvantage, because they normally are slow, heavy, have lot of health and deals a lot of damage with it's slow attacks, but this mechanic nullifies the last thing
@@PolarPhantom Not an unreasonable comment man but just because SF was on the come down and tekken was rising doesn't justify calling it a dark age lol, Tekken is the highest selling fighting game franchise, if anything that was an golden era for casual uptake of fighting games, everyone knew SF but then everyone played Tekken.
Also Soulcalibur II came out at that time the best 3D fighter of that gen with the hype guest characters like Link, Spawn and Heihachi for each console.
The only ones who call it dark ages are the capcom players who only play capcom games. Everyone else was having fun playing the new games thay were coming. The only good reason to call it dark ages could be the decline of arcades which was were most of them were played at the time. Outside of that, pretty stupid imo.
Still waiting on that Tekken-style Tekken x Street Fighter game where everyone exclusively speaks in their native language but inexplicably perfectly understands everyone else for some reason.
You know your fighting game history that's for sure. Nice work! Also, I loved it how you reference Blazblue in there. It's a niche series that seems to be forgotten at times.
Honestly its my favorite game ever, a Street Fighter game where I could play as my favorite fighter Nina Williams? Yes please. I still play it alot but I HATED the gems and refused to pay for any. I did buy the DLC characters but I dont feel like it was fair. I would like a gemless remaster of SFxT or a sequel but know it will likely never happen.
I remember hating that I was an 09'er, the internet made fun of me. Now 11 years later at 27 I wear that shit like a badge of honor. 09er gamer shit lets go
Having grown up in the early 80's and being an arcade rat I can't fully explain how excited I was for this game. My cousin, same age as me, and I have had a lifelong friendly rivalry through Fighting Games. We were beyond stoked, and we still enjoyed this game while it was around. It was unexpected and combined our 2 favorite Fighting Games ever, it gets a lotta hate but we still liked it.
I am a big fighting game fan, I don't remember a "Fighting game dark age"... I was pretty satisfied with the games available at that time. Soulcalibur, Tekken 4,5,6, Guilty Gear.... Great stuff!
The "dark age" less refers to the quality of the games, and more has to do with how fighters became less prevalent because of how arcades were dying and home consoles not having the technology for a decent netcode.
Thanks so much for making this incredible video. I can't blame people for hating SFxT for everything yo mentioned; but man it was so freaking FUN to play and a joy to see your favorite characters from both series collide in one epic game. I love SFxT and I still play it from time to time. For me, I think if they make SFxT2 with SFV graphics and balanced fighting system, I'd totally buy it and play it. Make 1v1 and 2v2 optional so all fans and players are pleased.
Aside from all the dlc debacle.. This game is one of my favorite fighting games of all time. I love the mechanics, the way the tekken characters play, and the fanservice through the supers, cross arts, and even some weird guest characters like Mega Man, Pac-Man, Cole from Infamous, and the Playstation cats Toro and Kuro. The pre-rendered trailers and the "episodic series" released to tie with the vita version were just hype inducing and amazing to watch. Really wish the game did way better than it did because it deserved a lot more praise than it gets.
I remember playing Street Fighter X Tekken with my brothers and friends when I was 13. We never played with the gem system because we found it unnecessary and the Pandora feature was useless as you said it was. I really enjoyed it and played the game up to the release of Ultra Street Fighter IV. I always mained PAC-MAN, Megaman, Jin, Heihachi, and Ryu. I want to get the PS Vita version eventually. Although I was lucky enough to grow up with the PS3 version, I still wish that Capcom stayed with their plan of having PAC-MAN and Megaman playable in all versions of the game. Capcom made them PlayStation exclusive characters as their response for people ranting about their business practices at the time.
"The best selling 3D fighter--" Funny enough, Tekken is the best selling fighting game series period. Yep. That includes Street Fighter AND Smash Bros.
There's a gem that gives you a 30% attack bonus with no drawback for ten seconds but the "All or Nothing!" ultimate power up that requires you to sacrifice your partner only gives you a 15% attack bonus and lasts for seven seconds, after which you automatically lose?

I find out about Melty Blood recently and played it the last one on the ps2 on emulator with the ps3 control, damn MB is really freaking good ( found it thanks to UNIEL on steam, freaking awesome as well).
@@ethanbryant1997 not a bad idea. Can show how high price points for FG dlc is still an issue for alot of customers who dont understand FGs dont tend to be big sellers...so they have to get more money from their core fanbase when possible.
Enjoyed SFxT2013. The Tekken cast played exactly as i predicted they would...like KOF2002/KOFXI/NGBC characters loaded with tons of command normals and specials(ironically some KOF characters were given huge movesets as a nod to Tekken's popularity in the early 2000s). Most fun version of Guy as well cause of the jump cancel during his classic chain combo
The gameplay isn't that bad, the tag system is cool and characters work well. However, Pandora box, while thought is cool, 8 seconds is almost nothing, and gems don't work well at all (and dlc stuff is really bad) but i liked the game. P.S: Urban War Zone BGM is one of the best soundtracks easy
I love that this channel is continuing, though I wonder what could possibly be next, either way I know the quality will be well worth the wait. Fantastic work man!
Tekken x Street Fighter will honor the Capcom fighters more than SF x Tekken ever did. Akuma in Tekken 7 is such a love letter to Street Fighter. He plays beautifully right in the Tekken system. Meanwhile Capcom just slaps the SF4 engine with some Tekken characters. Weak.
Definitely a diamond in the rough. Even seeing how they made Tekken characters come alive in the Street Fighter world was dope. Man the gameplay, the customization, only minus for me was that lack of stages and didn't have an infinite timer as an option. Other than that this is game was Golden. This one of those games that make you wanna buy an PS3 or Xbox 360 just to play it.
I remember being so excited when I thought it was originally a darkstalkers 4 reveal. After Jedah in marvel infinite the series is confirmed dead. RIP darkstalkers
These videos are great, man, and I don't even play nor know anything about fighting games. Maybe that's why I enjoy these so much? I'm really bummed I only just now found out about you. ANYWAY! I dunno if you're a Smash guy, but a "The History Of" or "Looking Back On" video on the series or even just an entry in the series (probably the black sheep that is Brawl) would be absolutely killer!
Your MvCI has been in my recommended list for weeks now, but I knew very well why the game failed myself and I didn't really care for the game so I didn't bother watching. As a long time Tekken fan though who completely missed the Street Fighter x Tekken game back in the days, I was curious and watched this video. Since both videos got recommended to me over and over I expected a big channel and was astounded when I saw that you just created two videos, both of which UA-cam wants me to see. This is some high-quality and well-researched video. Looks like I'm going to watch the MvCI video after all. You got yourself and new subscriber. I can't wait for more videos like this one. I hope you'll keep up with your current standards.
Wasn't a fan of the direction Street Fighter took from 4 to 5 so I made the switch to Tekken 7 with it's launch on PC & I'm really enjoying it. The implementation of Akuma in the game is great, but with the volume of fighting games being released recently I'm not sure I'd want to see Tekken vs Street Fighter any time soon.
SFxT's problem is that it came out a bit too early for people to accept the DLC practices. In 2019 people will defend what SFV does to the death...in 2012 it wasn't as tolerated back then. It was the tail-end of the mentality of "it's a fighting game, so all the characters you can get by unlocks/codes in-game". I mean, seriously....12 fighters locked behind *on-disc* DLC? It took about 15 years or so, but the average videogamer these days has been pretty much groomed to believe that DLC and lootboxes is just the way it has to be.
@@NewGabeOrder No, it wasn't. The thing was two games from Capcom and two by SNK. SVC Chaos was SNK's second game. The first was Match of the Millenium for NGPC.
These videos have been great. I love history pieces like this because it's so interesting to harken back to the FGC's reactions, even though I'm not really invested in the community. Can't wait for more!
Its far from possible for harada and bamco to release TxSF sooner or later, but I hope Crapcom remakes SFxT and remove the gems. Looking how SFV have certain juggle combos now.
Speaking as someone who still paid for the highest priced version of that game, what bothered me the most was capcom not giving me the opportunity to use my money in the way that I wanted. All that money I paid could've been used for the dlc characters that were already in the disk. There was no reason to do that, and it cost them their business with Namco.
SFxT is a lesson in consumer patience (or lack thereof). By the time they fixed it and made it a good game, no one cared. Gotta get it right the first time...
man I love your videos! How do you only have 2?! It looks like you have the editing experience of someone who has been making videos on youtube for forever! Cant wait for the next one.
Just watched this again after seeing Matt's What Happened video. Every time I see this game being streamed, the first thing that comes to my mind is what Japanese counterparts at Capcom said in defense of on-disc DLC: "Why would anyone crack the game!? That's illegal!" That, along with gems, PS3-exclusive characters (including the Bad Box Art Mega Man), and the timing of its release with other Capcom fighters released at that time tarnished the game's reputation.
Good video dude. There was actually another problem with SFXT. According to the manual of both the PS3 and 360 versions, the games was suppose to have an Online Co-Op mode, which would allow 2 players on the same console to play against other people online. But despite this feature being mentioned in the manual of both versions, only the PS3 version had this feature available, and when Capcom tried to explain why it's not available in the 360 despite being mentioned in the manual, they tried to put the blame on Microsoft by saying that "due to the architecture of the game", only Sony made this feature available while Microsoft didn't. That was of course a pile of bullcrap, especially since Mortal Kombat 9, a 1V1 game that had a 2V2 mode, allowed 2 players to play in couch Co-Op both in the single player modes and online against other players in both the PS3 and 360 versions. That is another indicator of the priority-based relationship between Sony and Capcom. Also speaking of MK9, when it comes to DLC in fighting games (at 11:42), NRS/WB are the best, because not only they offer season passes while the base versions of their games come with huge amounts of content and characters from the start so the season passes look like a legit addition to already huge games, unlike other companies who offer medium to minimal amount of content in their base games and then offer season passes. EDIT: The fighting games in the early 2000 were amazing, and there were games that both casuals and competitive could've sink their teeth into. The 3D MK games were incredible as far as full-on products, while Bamco games had also awesome content alongside competitive aspects. So that line at the beginning was very, very much of stretch. Once again good video dude.
I remember seeing that trailer live when ryu called chin li into the fight. That was so hype. It’s a shame that this game never got the success it deserved.
Despite all the DLC issues and gems, Street Fighter X Tekken remains as one of my top 5 favorite fighting games of all time. I like the roster and while I (still do) love the Street Fighter IV series because of its roster and how it was a balance game, SFXTK actually felt easy to play and it one of those games I recommend beginners to try out when they wanna learn a fighting game that’s “easy to learn”. I still play the game daily and enjoy but despite some unpopular opinions I had in other games and series, people hating on the game is something I completely understand and I don’t blame the reaction. Overall, it’s one of my favorite fighting games of all time and I know at some point in the future, we will get a Tekken X Street Fighter game.
The only fighting game that ever did DLC good was Tekken Tag 2 having all DLC characters being a free update and the only paid for DLC being the soundtrack packs. That gem system really did prevent me from enjoying Street Fighter x Tekken more than the DLC issues and actually I didn't play it in depth enough to realize that the best gems had to be paid for. It really is unfortunate how it all turned out because as much as I loved the game, it only had me even more hyped for the Tekken x Street fighter game with the 3d gameplay of tekken instead of the 2d system of street fighter used in Street Fighter x Tekken. And now I actually wonder if parts of Tekken 7 were assets borrowed from that canceled project like the way Akuma fights in Tekken 7 or even how characters like Geese were designed to work in that 3d environment.
All the Tekken Tag 2 characters were on disc and clones of already existing characters outside of Doctor B. So it really wouldn't be the same as your normal character DLC
As a kid I grew up with both series, and would spend hours scouring wikis reading up on the characters of both the SF and Tekken universe. Still waiting on TK X SF till this day.
Street Fighter V sucks so bad. I love the gameplay but I hated the way they handled it. Maybe they'll do better with Street Fighter 6. Street Fighter X Tekken 2 really do needs to happen. I like the game. I still play it today.
You know, I feel like I could do a whole 'Thoughts on' type video for fighting game DLC practices. The genre hasn't figured it out yet and there's a lot of ground to cover to get there.
@@Stumblebee Sounds good. I think the BB Tag story hasn't really ended yet in the same way as SFxT or unfortunately MvCI (so young), so it might be better to cover DLC practices in general.
Stumblebee Hey it's not a bad idea. Giving something like a thought on the subject would be really cool. Some were accepted( smash, even thoght the price was too much.) and others...
This was really great, the wait was worth it. I recently got the game, and wow, i didn' know that the launch was really bad, but the game as now is really good, i have fun playing it (dlc is a little bit too much). Keep up the good work. P.S the ending was too funny.
I really like the 2 on 2 format, having 4 people fight in a single fighting game match like that is really impressive and exciting, I hope it comes back in some form or another.

Great video man imo back in the day the game was fun to get into and im also glad your cat found away out the door
When Capcom tried to put MH decorations into a FG?? Yeah, i remember that.
Pandora mode: The new Mortal Kombat styled Hara Kiri
This game is officially 10 years old today!!!!
What did you like or dislike about Street Fighter x Tekken? What did I mess up? What video should I do next? Thanks for watching!
Do one on the Soul Calibur series or BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle.
@@ethanbryant1997 not a bad idea. Can show how high price points for FG dlc is still an issue for alot of customers who dont understand FGs dont tend to be big sellers...so they have to get more money from their core fanbase when possible.
Enjoyed SFxT2013. The Tekken cast played exactly as i predicted they would...like KOF2002/KOFXI/NGBC characters loaded with tons of command normals and specials(ironically some KOF characters were given huge movesets as a nod to Tekken's popularity in the early 2000s). Most fun version of Guy as well cause of the jump cancel during his classic chain combo
The Rise of Crossover in Fighting Games- Good Character Selection or Bad Marketing
The gameplay isn't that bad, the tag system is cool and characters work well.
However, Pandora box, while thought is cool, 8 seconds is almost nothing, and gems don't work well at all (and dlc stuff is really bad) but i liked the game.
P.S: Urban War Zone BGM is one of the best soundtracks easy
I love that this channel is continuing, though I wonder what could possibly be next, either way I know the quality will be well worth the wait. Fantastic work man!
7:27 master arnis is learning at the back.
Your videos are such a labor of love. I get so much enjoyment from them thanks for doing this for us all!
Thank you! It takes a good long while to make these videos, so I'm just happy that you enjoy them too. :)
Tekken x Street Fighter will honor the Capcom fighters more than SF x Tekken ever did. Akuma in Tekken 7 is such a love letter to Street Fighter. He plays beautifully right in the Tekken system. Meanwhile Capcom just slaps the SF4 engine with some Tekken characters. Weak.
member when you could crash the game with rolento's knife? fun times
20:52 *THANOS RYU*
Definitely a diamond in the rough. Even seeing how they made Tekken characters come alive in the Street Fighter world was dope. Man the gameplay, the customization, only minus for me was that lack of stages and didn't have an infinite timer as an option. Other than that this is game was Golden. This one of those games that make you wanna buy an PS3 or Xbox 360 just to play it.
I remember being so excited when I thought it was originally a darkstalkers 4 reveal. After Jedah in marvel infinite the series is confirmed dead. RIP darkstalkers
These videos are great, man, and I don't even play nor know anything about fighting games. Maybe that's why I enjoy these so much? I'm really bummed I only just now found out about you. ANYWAY! I dunno if you're a Smash guy, but a "The History Of" or "Looking Back On" video on the series or even just an entry in the series (probably the black sheep that is Brawl) would be absolutely killer!
Your MvCI has been in my recommended list for weeks now, but I knew very well why the game failed myself and I didn't really care for the game so I didn't bother watching.
As a long time Tekken fan though who completely missed the Street Fighter x Tekken game back in the days, I was curious and watched this video. Since both videos got recommended to me over and over I expected a big channel and was astounded when I saw that you just created two videos, both of which UA-cam wants me to see.
This is some high-quality and well-researched video. Looks like I'm going to watch the MvCI video after all.
You got yourself and new subscriber. I can't wait for more videos like this one. I hope you'll keep up with your current standards.
That's the plan! Thanks for the kind words! I'll have another video out next month :)
I'm looking forward to it!
Street Fighter × Tekken + SNK is now also possible! Smash Ultimate with
Ryu Ken Mega Man Pac-Man Kazuya and Terry
Prolific Guilty Gear fan, Mike Ross.
Don't you mean Waxl?
No idea why but this is my comfort UA-cam video
Wasn't a fan of the direction Street Fighter took from 4 to 5 so I made the switch to Tekken 7 with it's launch on PC & I'm really enjoying it. The implementation of Akuma in the game is great, but with the volume of fighting games being released recently I'm not sure I'd want to see Tekken vs Street Fighter any time soon.
Coming back after watching this when it first came out. Love your vids, Stumblebee! Hope your channel blows up
SFxT's problem is that it came out a bit too early for people to accept the DLC practices. In 2019 people will defend what SFV does to the death...in 2012 it wasn't as tolerated back then. It was the tail-end of the mentality of "it's a fighting game, so all the characters you can get by unlocks/codes in-game". I mean, seriously....12 fighters locked behind *on-disc* DLC? It took about 15 years or so, but the average videogamer these days has been pretty much groomed to believe that DLC and lootboxes is just the way it has to be.
Thank you Ono.
Thank you Harada.
Thank you Kiryu.
If there's ever a CvS3 I want you to be the announcer, love your voice!
WertyJess more like CVS4. SVC CHAOS was already the 3rd game.
@@NewGabeOrder No, it wasn't. The thing was two games from Capcom and two by SNK. SVC Chaos was SNK's second game. The first was Match of the Millenium for NGPC.
These videos have been great. I love history pieces like this because it's so interesting to harken back to the FGC's reactions, even though I'm not really invested in the community. Can't wait for more!
They need to make a 3d version of tekken x street fighter where you can actually juggle like in tekken
They were making it, but it was put on hiatus said in the video.
Its far from possible for harada and bamco to release TxSF sooner or later, but I hope Crapcom remakes SFxT and remove the gems. Looking how SFV have certain juggle combos now.
Speaking as someone who still paid for the highest priced version of that game, what bothered me the most was capcom not giving me the opportunity to use my money in the way that I wanted. All that money I paid could've been used for the dlc characters that were already in the disk. There was no reason to do that, and it cost them their business with Namco.
SFxT is a lesson in consumer patience (or lack thereof). By the time they fixed it and made it a good game, no one cared. Gotta get it right the first time...
Yeah and no exclusivity deals either
Heeeeyyy awesome video! I'm starting to really look forward to your channel man!
Sounds great in theory, but the gems were just TOO much
man I love your videos! How do you only have 2?! It looks like you have the editing experience of someone who has been making videos on youtube for forever! Cant wait for the next one.
I hope they make plans to release Tekken X Street Fighter
First your MVCI video, which definitely hit the nail on the head
and now this game.
You just earned a new sub, and that's me.
You know what. You earned yourself a sub.
Just watched this again after seeing Matt's What Happened video. Every time I see this game being streamed, the first thing that comes to my mind is what Japanese counterparts at Capcom said in defense of on-disc DLC: "Why would anyone crack the game!? That's illegal!" That, along with gems, PS3-exclusive characters (including the Bad Box Art Mega Man), and the timing of its release with other Capcom fighters released at that time tarnished the game's reputation.
oooooo another one me likey
Good video dude. There was actually another problem with SFXT. According to the manual of both the PS3 and 360 versions, the games was suppose to have an Online Co-Op mode, which would allow 2 players on the same console to play against other people online. But despite this feature being mentioned in the manual of both versions, only the PS3 version had this feature available, and when Capcom tried to explain why it's not available in the 360 despite being mentioned in the manual, they tried to put the blame on Microsoft by saying that "due to the architecture of the game", only Sony made this feature available while Microsoft didn't. That was of course a pile of bullcrap, especially since Mortal Kombat 9, a 1V1 game that had a 2V2 mode, allowed 2 players to play in couch Co-Op both in the single player modes and online against other players in both the PS3 and 360 versions. That is another indicator of the priority-based relationship between Sony and Capcom.
Also speaking of MK9, when it comes to DLC in fighting games (at 11:42), NRS/WB are the best, because not only they offer season passes while the base versions of their games come with huge amounts of content and characters from the start so the season passes look like a legit addition to already huge games, unlike other companies who offer medium to minimal amount of content in their base games and then offer season passes.
EDIT: The fighting games in the early 2000 were amazing, and there were games that both casuals and competitive could've sink their teeth into. The 3D MK games were incredible as far as full-on products, while Bamco games had also awesome content alongside competitive aspects. So that line at the beginning was very, very much of stretch.
Once again good video dude.
Give Tekken x Street Fighter!
I remember seeing that trailer live when ryu called chin li into the fight. That was so hype. It’s a shame that this game never got the success it deserved.
Dark Ages of fighting games? More like the dark ages of Street Fighter, let's be realistic.
Yeah didn't the PS2 Tekken games and Soulcalibur II and III came out in the "Dark Ages" ??? It was a golden age for 3D fighters hands down.
It was the dark ages of 2d fighting games
@@braxtonbaldarez7057 not really, Blazblue, KOF XIII, Akatsuki Blitzkamp, Arcana Heart and other japan only niche releases.
Despite all the DLC issues and gems, Street Fighter X Tekken remains as one of my top 5 favorite fighting games of all time. I like the roster and while I (still do) love the Street Fighter IV series because of its roster and how it was a balance game, SFXTK actually felt easy to play and it one of those games I recommend beginners to try out when they wanna learn a fighting game that’s “easy to learn”. I still play the game daily and enjoy but despite some unpopular opinions I had in other games and series, people hating on the game is something I completely understand and I don’t blame the reaction. Overall, it’s one of my favorite fighting games of all time and I know at some point in the future, we will get a Tekken X Street Fighter game.
The only fighting game that ever did DLC good was Tekken Tag 2 having all DLC characters being a free update and the only paid for DLC being the soundtrack packs. That gem system really did prevent me from enjoying Street Fighter x Tekken more than the DLC issues and actually I didn't play it in depth enough to realize that the best gems had to be paid for. It really is unfortunate how it all turned out because as much as I loved the game, it only had me even more hyped for the Tekken x Street fighter game with the 3d gameplay of tekken instead of the 2d system of street fighter used in Street Fighter x Tekken. And now I actually wonder if parts of Tekken 7 were assets borrowed from that canceled project like the way Akuma fights in Tekken 7 or even how characters like Geese were designed to work in that 3d environment.
I think KI did a good job as well
Well, thinking like that also ARMS made DLC well
All the Tekken Tag 2 characters were on disc and clones of already existing characters outside of Doctor B. So it really wouldn't be the same as your normal character DLC
Well except that you had to pay for an online pass which i lost so i was stuck offline if i didn't pay out like £15
As a kid I grew up with both series, and would spend hours scouring wikis reading up on the characters of both the SF and Tekken universe.
Still waiting on TK X SF till this day.
Street Fighter V sucks so bad. I love the gameplay but I hated the way they handled it. Maybe they'll do better with Street Fighter 6.
Street Fighter X Tekken 2 really do needs to happen. I like the game. I still play it today.
As a complete casual, my brother, best friend and I LOVED playing this game against each other! To this day a positive memory.
Can we get one of these vids on the backlash of bbtag?
You know, I feel like I could do a whole 'Thoughts on' type video for fighting game DLC practices. The genre hasn't figured it out yet and there's a lot of ground to cover to get there.
@@Stumblebee Sounds good. I think the BB Tag story hasn't really ended yet in the same way as SFxT or unfortunately MvCI (so young), so it might be better to cover DLC practices in general.
Stumblebee Hey it's not a bad idea.
Giving something like a thought on the subject would be really cool.
Some were accepted( smash, even thoght the price was too much.) and others...
This was really great, the wait was worth it.
I recently got the game, and wow, i didn' know that the launch was really bad, but the game as now is really good, i have fun playing it (dlc is a little bit too much).
Keep up the good work.
P.S the ending was too funny.
*I miss this game. It was pretty fun. They should make it backwards compatible on xbox one* ✅🙂
It had potential till the DLC scandel with the dlc already being on the disc alot of ppl just tagged out
Remember when angry joe made a huge deal about it.
@@wackyjacky7259 it is a big deal , tekken tag 2 came out the sameish time and gave us over 10 new chracters for free
you cat is you out 8:07
Her name is Trash
why you tell me that what did i do to you for calling me trash
all a sid you cat is going out
@@dirtyox6862 the cat's name is trash 😂
I really like the 2 on 2 format, having 4 people fight in a single fighting game match like that is really impressive and exciting, I hope it comes back in some form or another.
Good news :)
Capcom needs to make a Street Fighter X Tekken 2.
Um no I want Tekken X Street Fighter
You already have a bright future with this channel. Looking forward to what you have to talk about next.
Also slight correction, series for series, Tekken has sold more than SF.
The cat opening the door, our cats would make great friends. He's starting to understand what knobs do.
