SDCC: Namco and Capcom Agree to Make Money, Announce Street Fighter Vs. Tekken
A lot of money; between the horde of Street Fighter fans and the many (inexplicable) Tekken fans, this will probably give Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 a run for its money in terms of sales. I hate Tekken, but I think I’d enjoy a game where I get to beat up Tekken‘s shitty cast of characters with another character from another, better fighting game. Although I do wonder how Capcom will balance their sleek, well-tuned
fighting engine to be compatible with Tekken‘s ridiculous
button-mashing.
…
Tekken sucks.
