Street Fighter X Tekken

pandora also doesn't give any kind of damage or defense boost, right (unless you have special pandora gems)?

[Saitsuofleaves]

It gives a damage boost I believe, no defense boost though (not that there would be a point to a defese boost).

[hiltzy85]

well hey, at least we can all agree that nobody will use it, unless it is activated accidentally.  In a video where Daigo was playing another japanese player from team madcatz, the other guy (non-Daigo) actually used it and won a round, I think, but he pretty much got lucky and hit him with a poke or an overhead as one of the Tekken characters.

[Saitsuofleaves]

It was Tokido.  The guy Daigo was playing against.

And yeah, if you use it, it's most likely a troll job, or you're really sure that the extra damage will finish the job.

[hiltzy85]

I wonder if it's possible to do it during a juggle to tack on a bit of extra damage...Probably not.  It probably isn't even safe to activate pandora

[Saitsuofleaves]

No, activating Pandora is safe, it has 0 frame recovery I believe.  And you can use it after a juggle, preferably a wall-bounce.

I want to see some epic Pandora comebacks, so i hope they make it more useful or at least decent, without falling into the too cheap or broken category.

so how many characters do you think are going to end up as DLC/unlockables/are already in the game and not announced?

The ones that really stand out for me are Honda, Blanka, Guy and Cody for the SF side and Bruce, Bryan, Lars and Alisa on the Tekken side.  Blanka and Honda are the only original SFII characters not in it, Guy and Cody were in one of the cinematic trailers, Bruce is one of the longest-serving tekken characters, Bryan is very popular, and Lars and Alisa are basically the main characters of the most recent canon Tekken game.  It seems very unlikely to me that none of these characters would be in the game.

[Saitsuofleaves]

Alisa/Lars and Lei/(enter partner here) are normal unlockables.  Since they ended up getting mentioned in the ESRB report (Alisa and Lei at least), they have to be in the game from the start.  If they left them out for DLC, that could've potentially changed the ESRB rating they would receive and they'd have to resubmit.

We'll find out soon enough though, with Cross Assault starting Wednesday and if we don't find out by then, then by next week when people start copping it early.

[hiltzy85]

good point about Lei, I forgot about him, too.  Perhaps Lei and Bruce makes more sense than Bryan and Bruce.  In any case, I am looking forward to seeing the REAL, final, release day roster.

...I'm not planning on picking up SFxT. I'll play it at a store I frequent, but I'm dedicated to KOF and SCV. I am however going to pick up a Vita at some point, and now they put Elena in it. I hate you Capcom.
