Street Fighter X Tekken: Welcome to the festival

I remember the days of sitting in my buddy’s room, losing repeatedly to his Vega as my Dhalsim flailed in front of pixelated, braying elephants. With every loss came the time to give up the controller for the next player in line. Depending on how many people were over, a sort of cheering section would develop. Fueled by Dr. Pepper and bags of potato chips, these impromptu parties are memories that I’m sure I share with many gaming folks.

Street Fighter x Tekken is doing its best to recreate those moments. We already know it’s bringing together two of the biggest fighting game franchises on the market, thus creating a huge, varied cast. The Tekken characters have been given the Street Fighter IV treatment, creating a stylized, almost cartoonish look. Their new animations are just as stylized. They’re clearly ready to party.Gallery: Street Fighter X Tekken (1/17/12)Continue reading Street Fighter X Tekken: Welcome to the festivalStreet Fighter X Tekken: Welcome to the festival originally appeared on Joystiq on Fri, 20 Jan 2012 17:00:00 EST.
