As Nick Henderson would say, "Holy Balls!"  I've never been a huge fighting game person over the years, but fighting games which have been released lately really get my gears in a groove (recently BlazBlue has been eating up a fair amount of credits at my local arcade).  Street Fighter X Tekken, announced today at the San Diego Comic-Con, could be continuing that tradition in a very good way.

Check out the trailer below.

    Holy crap this is very awesome, especially being a fan of Tekken. I just hope this means they aren't going to work on a Tekken Tag 2. I just flipped a poo, thank you.

    what everyone wonders though, 2D or 3D? and how the hell will they manage to balance this? Its a cool idea but there is gonna be some serious nerfing for both sides.

    @zekana It's confirmed to be a 3D graphics 2D gameplay like SF4. A bit troubling for you weirdo Tekken fans, but since Namco has the reigns I'm sure they'll figure out a way to make them feel right.

    I'm more excited to hear about Tekken x Street Fighter. Supposedly, it's supposed to be more Tekkenesque, as it is supposedly being primarily worked on by Namco, while SF x Tekken will play more like SF and worked mostly by Capcom. I'm not much of a fan of the art style of the Tekken characters in SFxT, or at least Kazuya. I also find it interesting that Kazuya could forward dash through Ryu's hadokens, compensation for his lack of ranged attacks and sidestepping perhaps? Hopefully TxSF will be on a 3D plane, and have no ultras/ranged as it is supposed to be more like Tekken. This whole TxSF/SFxT thing could be a rumour though, i haven't heard of the two different versions from a reliable source, but it's being talked about by quite a lot of people.

    Also, It wouldn't surprise me if Capcom announces SF Alpha 4 and Capcom vs SNK 3 at TGS'10. That would be crazeh I tells ya!

    Why hasn't there been a Nintendo vs. [Publisher] yet?
    Oh wait. I guess that's what Smash Bros is for.

    It's worth pointing out that Namco is also working on Tekken x Street Fighter, apparently there's 2 versions with one working on a SF style engine and one of a Tekken style engine.

    Fighting games are one of my favorite genres, if there are enough people to play with. This game looks awesome so far. With this and Tekken x Street Fighter and also Marvel vs Capcom 3, its a great time to be a fighting game fan.

    cool, but it'll be hard to make Tekken vs SF cause of the 3D world like Brad said

    Really I'm more excited about Tekken X Street Fighter, since it's using the Tekken 6 engine, and I never really cared for Street Fighter all that much, speaking specifically in terms of feel/art style, as opposed to Tekken. Gameplay looks sick though, might get the SFxT just so i can rock Team Mishima, because I'm willing to bet they won't leave out Heihachi :D
