Street Fighter X Tekken -or- Tekken X Street Fighter Announced

Comic Con has become a big event for the games industry and thus we’ve started to get some pretty big, definitely cool, announcements. This one might just take the biscuit.

At Capcom’s Street Fighter panel, Street Fighter IV producer, Yoshinori Ono announced another new fighting game. For the first time Street Fighter and Tekken will combine and characters from the two franchises (including: Ryu, Kazuya and Nina Williams) will be able to take on oneanother in tag team-style combat. The project has oft been rumored, but has finally come into fruition.

The most interesting part of this is that there’ll be two games. Street Fighter X (pronounced “cross”) Tekken will be produced by the Street Fighter IV team and Tekken X Street Fighter will be produced by the team behind Tekken 6.

The game’s release window is currently set for “not for a while!”. So it looks like we have some time to wait. Check out the screens after the jump.
