Street Fighter X Tekken

[Saitsuofleaves]

I find it amazing that the game is due out in a few weeks and there's next to no hype for it.

Most of that can go on Capcom's inability to properly promote the game which is kind of shocking considering they did it just fine with SF4 and MvC3, and that's even WITH Lupinko leaking entire rosters.  Usually that's the one thing Capcom's on point with.

Oh, there's hype. It's just not from anyone that actually plays fighting games.

That's an overly broad generalization and you know it, a harsh one at that.

Look at any mainstream gaming website. Seriously.

Also WHY THE FUCK IS AKUMA IN THIS GAME!?! Dammit Capcom...

You mean the mainstream gaming websites who have a moronic hivemind and couldn't generate an independent thought even if they got smashed in the nuts?  It's so bad that at this point they could get shot, and would wait for someone else to say something about it before saying their own peace which will mimic it.

I don't give a shit about mainstream FG websites, it's why I don't choose to create a new account on SRK after my old one got banned, it's why I don't go to Eventhubs other than to get quick news updates.  Real people have their own opinions.  People I've talked to and have seen have differing opinions on the game.  Reactions are mixed, no doubt about that, but to say anyone who actually knows anything about FG's outright ignores and/or hates the game is a crappy assumption.

As for why Akuma's in this game...why wouldn't he be?  He's been doing crossovers before even Ryu has tried it.

Anyone else think Akuma's misogi and Ogre special look lame as fuck
this is going to be one expensive game

Ogre's is all over the place.  Akuma's Misogi compared to what we used to have is pretty cool though people are gonna claim that it stole from ERyu's U2 in AE when in reality ERyu took the Misogi part from Akuma first.

That's still hype. Like I said, people that actually play fighters don't care for the most part.

Reason, I'm talking about Akuma is that Ken and Sagat are already in. Why the need for more shotos? I thought that MvC3 was going to be a bold step forward in keeping shoto abuse to a minimum.

[Saitsuofleaves]

And how's that?  Both Ryu and Akuma were in that game along with Spidey and Cap who were essentially Shoto subsets created for the Marvel Series.  And I'm only mentioning Spidey and Cap because you count Sagat as a shoto.

On top of that, it's SFxT compared to MvC3.  SF is gonna have the big 4 with Ryu, Ken, Akuma and Sagat.  What was the last game to not feature all 4 in some capacity that wasn't a Vs. Series game, SFA1?

[Proto Cloud]

Except Spidey and Cap play nothing at all like Ryu and are Marvel characters. A more apt comparison would be Cyclops, but he isn't even in the game.

Also SFA1 sucks. Don't ever mention that game again.

Funny considering, Ryu also doesn't play like Ryu in the Vs. games. 

And SFA1's...essential non-existence only proves my point.  How often are those 4 not together in games that matter that aren't Vs. Games?

Oh, Capcom Unity is saying this is the final roster:

But Ono is saying: "No one is say "over" ... hehehe~~ ;P RT @Zepht: No more characters? Is over?

I'm kinda hoping this is the final roster, that will create some salty tears.
But if they add DLC Chars (which they probably will) then go fuck yourself Capcom.

[Saitsuofleaves]

It would create salty tears BECAUSE it would imply DLC characters since Lupinko leaked everyone.  If he hadn't, I doubt people would be AS salty.

[LouisCipher]

I have. Barely any mentions on forums. And videos either have 'meh' comments or just negative ones.

[solidshark]

Trailers got me a little more hyped. Loved what they did with Akuma's Misogi, but I'm still waiting for that final price tag, which for me would be having all characters including DLC.
