New Street Fighter x Tekken Character Teasers And Hands-On Impressions

So over the weekend I was at Evo, which was a very big deal for me. While I was there Capcom went ahead and did their thing and showed us new teaser trailers for the next two characters to be added to Street Fighter x Tekken. They're both fairly obvious entries, especially with Ibuki already appearing in the background of a stage and Seth Killian stating that "the zoo isn't off limits"; which meant at least Kuma or Rodger. (We got the former) So here are the two trailers for those characters.

Along with that, there was a playable build of SFxT at Evo with all characters announced up to Dhalsim, Poison, Steve, and Yoshimitsu. I played everybody over the course of the three days, and I must say that the game feels really good. It combines the footsies and basics of Street Fighter with the chain combos and tagging of the Versus series with the juggle system of Tekken. I saw some people who had gotten far more in depth with the game then I had do some crazy cross-over combos, where they would have both characters on screen at once attacking the opponent. I never actually did this, but it seemed like a very strong tactic that could easily win a match. Certain characters felt much stronger then others, but since this is a beta build, anything can change. Yoshimitsu, Kazuya, and Bob all could dish out massive damage with relatively simple combos. Ken could still perform all his crossup silliness from the SF4 franchise. Dhalsim is a much easier to play form of his SF4 self. The game was crazy, and I even got a fancy poster and a 20 game win streak. Watch out for this game in the future, because its going to be insane.
