Street Fighter x Tekken TGS gameplay trailer shows more new characters, new game modes
Capcom’s dropped the TGS gameplay trailer for Street Fighter x Tekken, New characters confirmed for the fighter in the video include Rolento, Ibuki, Heihachi, Kuma and Zangief, all of Street Fighter and Tekken fame except new character Rolento. The new gameplay modes include 2 on 2 Dual Battles, Scramble Mode – think of this as SF’s version of the Tornado tag matches in the old WWE Smackdown games – online training mode Briefing and Pandora, where you sacrifice your partner for a huge power boost. This is properly looking awesome.
The Capcom-Namco collaboration is out next year for PS3, 360 and Vita. The video’s below the break.
