Street Fighter X Tekken released on March 6, 2012, meaning Namco Bandai has been answering so-where-the-hell-be-it questions about Tekken X Street Fighter since March 7, 2012. Five games under the Tekken brand have appeared since, raising offhand speculation about TxSF's priority.Read more...

Both the Xbox 360 'n PlayStation 3 versions a Capcom's fairly massive Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Collection have been temporarily discounted over at Capcom's official shop, meaning that either version a the 15 disc box set can be had for the princely sum a $100.

While both bundles include a metric ton a physical goodies, Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix, Street Fighter 3: Third Strike Online Edition 'n Street Fighter X Tekken, the PS3 SKU also includes codes t' download all three Street Fighter Alpha games on PSN, in addition t' other digital bonuses.

So, if ye're part a the subset a people who own both consoles 'n be eager t' dump a solid Benjamin on a stack a Street Fighter tapes, the PlayStation 3 version will have more bang for yer buck. Also, can we borrow some money?

If ye've been in the market for an arcade stick, cheap wired controller or guitar with hundreds 'n hundreds a buttons on it, now may be the time t' slap down some digitally represented dollar bills.

Mad Catz has applied 37 t' 69-percent discounts on a wide range a it be peripheral offerings, dropping it be branded SoulCalibur 5 'n Street Fighter X Tekken FightSticks down t' $100 a pop, it be SFXT FightPads down t' $20 'n various Rock Band 3 instrument bundles t' over half off. ye can also snag a PS3 version a the limited edition EVO 2012 FightStick for $100, in addition t' discounted WWE All Stars sticks/pads 'n Damage Inc. Pacific Squadron WWII flight stick packs.

Sadly, the sale does not include the Sanrio FightStick, which be still both $160 'n the cutest ever.

The PC versions a fighting games be usually the last t' receive any updates or content made for their respective arcade 'n/or console brethren, but that doesn't mean the developers behind said games don't feel super awful about it.

t' wit, Capcom will be reducing the price a the Street Fighter X Tekken character DLC that hits PCs on Wednesday, February 6, from $19.99 t' $4.99, at least for the first two weeks a it be availability. The DLC pack contains 12 characters originally added t' the console version back in July a last year.

Capcom has also stated that development on the PC version a SFXT's "ver. 2013" update be still underway, 'n while there be no set window for it be release, "the team be very aware that the DLC for SFXT has taken longer than usual t' be released 'n be working hard t' try 'n reduce the amount a time ye will have t' wait."

#streetfighter it be a move ye'd only see in fan fiction or mods for the PC version a Street Fighter, so...the fact this be a mod for the PC version a Street Fighter x Tekken probably explains things. More »

we be not entirely sure why Street Fighter's 25th anniversary equates t' a cross-promotional merchandising deal with Sanrio, but man be we glad that it does. Not only do we pillage adorable figures 'n plushies out a the partnership, but now Mad Catz has introduced a line a Street Fighter X Sanrio products that be both the cutest 'n have practical applications beyond said cuteness.

Obviously, the Street Fighter X Sanrio Fighstick Pro (above) tugs at a very, very specific part a our heart, even if it does cost $160. While not stated specifically in any a it be promotional materials, we feel it be safe t' assume the arcade stick uses the same Sanwa Denshi parts as the Street Fighter X Tekken Fightstick Pro models it be based on. Just, ye know, very pink.

The line also includes iPhone 5 'n iPad 2/3 cases in yer choice a AHOY Kitty Chun-Li or AHOY Kitty Ryu flavors, which run for $35 'n $45 respectively 'n can be seen in the gallery below.

Xbox 360 crew will find two new games available under the Games on Demand section a Xbox Live. Capcom has announced Slant Six's shooter Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City be available for download on Xbox Live alongside cross-over fighter Street Fighter X Tekken. Each will set ye back $39.99 in the United States.

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City wasn't in the best shape when we reviewed it, but a patch issued back in June may have alleviated some a our issues. 'n as far as Street Fighter X Tekken goes, that thing's been patched up, down 'n sideways, 'n Capcom be promising a "hefty update" later on this year. There's also a new mobile version a Street Fighter X Tekken on iOS now, if ye're more for fighting on the bus, train or - well, everywhere we guess since ye won't AVAST! staring at yer iPhone.

Street Fighter X Tekken Mobile will soon pillage a free update that includes Rolento as a brand new character. The update also brings a mystery character that be so secret even community manager Brelston says he doesn't yet know who it be.

"Once I have that info, I'll make sure it be on Unity ASAP," he writes on the Capcom Unity blog. How mysterious. Street Fighter X Tekken Mobile be available on iOS devices.

Street Fighter X Tekken be getting a "'hefty free" update later this year, Capcom announced. The update be expected t' substantially re-balance the game, as well as provide some visual 'n mechanical tweaks. While every character be likely t' receive some balancing tweaks, as always with these things some characters need more tweaking than others.

Capcom outlined some a the tweaks already planned for implementation, which include a range a tweaks at varying levels a impact. Characters listed so far for tweakage include Ken, Kazuya, Cammy, Julia, Bob, Abel, Xiaoyu, Balrog, Heihachi, Ibuki, 'n Paul.

Less hefty but just as free be the trailer above, a new one for SFxT's Vita edition. It outlines some a the new features (not tweaks) coming t' that version, which be due on October 23.

I recently spent some hands-on time with a near-complete version a Street Fighter X Tekken for PS Vita, ahead a it be October 23rd PSN 'n retail launch. 'n I’ve gotta say, it’s the spitting image a it be PS3 bigger brother with big, bold characters 'n detailed backgrounds running at PS Vita’s native screen resolution. But peer underneath those pretty graphics 'n ye’ll find a wealth a new extras that make this the definitive version a Capcom’s crossover fighter.

The game comes equipped with every DLC fighter from the PS3 version — including PlayStation exclusives Cole McGrath, Kuro, Toro, Mega Man 'n Pac-Man, a course — as well as alternate costumes for every character in the base roster. Another nice touch be the ability t' customize yer character’s costume color, then share it with mateys via PS Vita’s integrated geo-social app “near.” It’s also worth noting that any DLC costumes or Gems ye purchased for the PS3 version will port over t' the PS Vita version at no extra cost.

PS Vita’s front touchscreen be leveraged in several ways, most notably t' create virtual buttons on the screen that ye can reposition, resize, 'n assign t' multi-button inputs — useful if ye have a tough time pressing several buttons at once for some a the more elaborate moves.

A new “KO Monument” feature collects mementos a combatants ye’ve defeated, while a new “Burst Kumite” single-player mode puts ye against an endless battle a CPU opponents, including ghosts taken from multiplayer matches — handy if ye’re not near a WiFi or 3G connection. The Gallery mode offers up the expected cinematics 'n soundtrack listening options, but also introduces an augmented reality feature that enables ye t' drop SF X Tekken characters into photos ye take using yer PS Vita.

a course, ye’ll be able t' beat down PS3 'n PS Vita combatants alike over WiFi thanks t' the game’s full support for Cross Play. 'n if ye happen t' own SF x Tekken for yer PS3, ye can also tap into Cross Controller support 'n control the PS3 version using yer PS Vita — handy, if ye’re tapping into those multi-button touchscreen shortcuts, or if ye just want t' look extra cool.

There be a range a small tweaks t' the various arena designs — some daytime stages be now set at night, 'n vice-versa. 'n if ye squint hard enough, ye’ll spot some new visual Easter Eggs, such as a cameo from Tekken’s affable velociraptor Alex in the Jurassic Era Research Facility.

If ye can't wait for the Vita version, Street Fighter X Tekken Mobile wants t' satiate yer portable fighting crossover needs. The iOS version, now available for a promotional price a $2.99, comes with customized controls, a new timed survival Gauntlet mode, 'n ranked online multiplayer.

The roster, though, be a bit sparse at the moment. There be ten fighters, five from Tekken 'n five from Street Fighter. The Tekken quintet includes Kazuya, Nina, King, Paul, 'n Hworang, while the Street Fighter line-up has Ryu, Chun-Li, Dhalsim, Guile, 'n Hugo. that be quite the drop from the other versions, but then again so's the price. The addition a further characters down the line be likely, but in what form remains t' be seen.

The Vita version a Street Fighter X Tekken arrives in North America on October 23.

Do ye live in Europe? be ye a confident 'n skilled Street Fighter player? If not, can ye meet both a those conditions in short order? Then ye can start qualifying for the official Masters Series Europe, a championship tournament that will find the continent's best Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition ver. 2012, Street Fighter X Tekken, Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike Online Edition, 'n Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix players.

The finals a the MSE will take place from October 31 through November 4. Winners will then face the world's best in the World Finals in December. These people probably know how t' do all the special moves, so watch out.

#cosplay At a recent Street Fighter X Tekken tourney in Taiwan, a slew a cosplayers showed up, bringing the iconic fighters t' life. This isn't a first for Capcom—'n Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono once again got in on the act 'n dressed up as Chun-Li! He's such a great Chun-Li. More »

#blip The first release a downloadable content for Street Fighter X Tekken's PC version has been delayed—on Steam. If ye use Games For Windows Live, ye could pillage it on Friday, says Capcom. What's the holdup? "An unforeseen error with the Valve submission process," according t' the Capcom-Unity blog. The pack best release early this week. More »

Good news, everyone! Half a the PC versions a Street Fighter X Tekken have reached DLC parity with their console brethren. Granted, there be only two PC versions a SFxT, 'n the one that got the DLC first be the Games for Windows Live version, but at this point we be sure the PC fighting game community be grateful for pretty much whatever they can pillage.

DLC for the Steam version a SFxT be originally planned t' launch simultaneously with the GFWL release, but an "unforeseen error with the Valve submission process" has caused it t' be delayed into "early next week," according t' an update on Capcom Unity.

If ye've ever hoped in yer heart a hearts that Mega Man 'n Pac-Man, found in the PlayStation 3 'n Vita versions a Street Fighter X Tekken, would make their way t' the Xbox 360 version, ye might as well give up, according t' producer Tomoyaki Ayano.

The characters will remain exclusive t' PlayStation, Ayano confirmed t' Siliconera, despite both characters being found within the code a the Xbox 360 version. In fact, those with the know-how have even managed t' dig them out a the code so as t' make them playable, as seen in the video above. Ayano be aware a this, 'n said, "Every game has data on it that be unused," elaborating that Capcom "never intended" t' release the characters on Xbox.

Street Fighter X Tekken met with a troubled launch 'n a cool reception on PS3 'n Xbox 360. Maybe it'll do better ... on iPhone? Capcom announced today that Street Fighter X Tekken be due for release on iOS this summer.

According t' Capcom, the mobile version includes "brand new modes 'n a brand new take on the tag team mechanic." So far the only confirmed characters be Ryu, Chun-Li, Kazuya, 'n Nina, so in it be current state that "brand new take" only includes "being able t' choose fewer people for yer tag team." we be confident Capcom will announce more characters before the game's release, 'n if SF4 on iOS be any indication, add more characters in free updates.
