![]() Gems, the most controversial design introduction that allow players to equip up to three additional buffs (more on this later), even offer beginners the chance to use a slot to simplify the physical commands required to input moves. Indeed, Capcom has focused on making the game as accessible as possible. Expect every character to be dressed in black or white online. The opportunity to customise the colour schemes of each character's costume is a welcome and unexpected one. The tag team backbone, which has you tapping the two medium attack buttons to switch partners in and out of play, adds to the rapid-fire tempo, while the fussy double-turn inputs for Ultras have been cut in two to lower the barrier for entry to newcomers. ![]() It's a faster game, for starters, sitting somewhere between the weighty thoughtfulness of Street Fighter 4 and the ADHD jitter of Marvel vs. Players who have grown proficient with Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and the other big ticket characters from Capcom's recent fighting game resurgence will slip into the roles like a comfy old gi, the move lists and inputs mostly shared, even if the speed and timbre of the outputs are quite different. Street Fighter is the dominant partner (while Tekken will take the lead in Namco's version of the game, whenever it surfaces) and the foundations of the game are built from Street Fighter 4's building blocks and aesthetics. Never the twain shall meet.Īnd yet, in this meeting, we find a marriage that not only works - it transforms and inspires. ![]() You're born Street Fighter or you're born Tekken. Few tournament players double-dip, as the mental and physical approach required for each is so radically different. Tekken, by contrast, is known for its visual spectacle, quick jab stick motions and four-button combination button presses. Street Fighter is defined by sweeping stick motions, sneaky cross-ups and punctuation-mark special moves. But when Capcom and SNK ran away together a decade ago, at least the two parties lived on the same side of town: 2D, sprite-based fighters that shared DNA and - in the case of some members of the Street Fighter and King of Fighters casts - a creator in Takashi Nishiyama.īy contrast, Tekken and Street Fighter hang at different ends of the fighting game family tree: entirely different creatures that share a genre but no family likeness whatsoever. It's not the first time that two rival fighting game families have come together in a controversial, unexpected marriage.
