Posted on Jul 11 2012

Capcom’s 2012/2013 titles are getting even hotter from the San Diego sun during San Diego Comic Con 2012.

Gameplay Overview
The long awaited clash between the two leaders in the fighting genre can now be played at home… AND on the go! Street Fighter X Tekken on the PlayStation Vita expands on the action-packed console experience, delivering competitive co-op fun that players of all skill levels can enjoy. With the full roster of 55 playable characters and new exclusive features, Street Fighter X Tekken on the PlayStation Vita is packed with tons of content and boasts one of the most robust character line-ups in fighting game history.

For those who purchase the PlayStation Vita version of Street Fighter X Tekken this fall, the first run of all retail copies will come with two free download codes: one code will be for the additional 12 characters and the second will give Vita players free alternate costumes for the core roster of 38 characters.

Playing at home or on the streets, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 3 Cross-Play lets Street Fighter X Tekken players compete anytime, anywhere, against anyone… either locally, with 3G or via Wi-Fi. Cross-Play functionality with the PlayStation 3 version gives players console quality online battles that push the true capabilities of the PlayStation Vita. A host of additional new features and surprises designed specifically for the PlayStation Vita system are being implemented and will be revealed prior to the game’s release in fall 2012.

    New characters, AWESOME! Since I play as Elena in 3rd Strike, and Sakura in SF4, I definitely want to check them out in X Tekken.

    I’m remotely interested in this now. I’m not big on handheld fighters, but I might give this one a try… I do love Alisa. <3
