Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Announced

Instead of Tekken 7, Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada announced Tekken Tag Tournament 2. It will follow in its predecessor, Tekken Tag Tournament’s footsteps and include two-on-two action between popular Tekken characters. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will include all the gameplay changes that have been introduced from Tekken 4 to Tekken 6, including multitier stages and walls. In addition, by choosing specific team combinations, players will gain access to unique tag attacks. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is set for a summer 2011 arcade release. No word yet on a console release, but at least it beats out the 2012 projections for Street Fighter X Tekken. Trailer after the jump.

Street Fighter/Tekken Crossover Confirmed!

At the Comic Con 2010 panel, SSFIV and Beyond, Producer Yoshinori Ono along with Tekken Producer Katsuhiro Harada announced a crossover project between Street Fighter and Tekken, making two games with two developers. There will be two versions: Street Fighter X Tekken created by Capcom and Tekken X Street Fighter by Namco. It will be interesting to see how Tekken characters will deal with projectile characters like Ryu and Ken. So far, the gameplay showed off Ryu from Street Fighter and Kazuya from Tekken. Let the speculations on characters begin!

UPDATE: A video just surfaced online. It shows off the 2-on-2 combat system, and confirms Chun Li and Nina Williams as two additional characters. Note that this is likely from Street Fighter X Tekken, due to the presence of Ultra moves and overall art style resembling that of Super Street Fighter IV. You can also check out the teaser trailer here.

EVO2010 Results

This year's Evolution Fighting Game Championships boasted some of the most surprising results to date. These included two pad players, Shizza and Vance “Vangief” Wu, placing top eight in Super Street Fighter IV, Taiwanese sensation Bruce “Gamerbee” Hsiang eliminating US champion Justin Wong, and top two placers for Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix were both new school players, shutting out legends like Daigo Umehara and Jason “Afrocole” Cole. To America's devastation, Umehara managed to take the gold in Super Street Fighter IV, keeping northern California's EG.Ricky Ortiz at second place. A stream was available at both G4TV and Shoryuken, but it crashed several times throughout the weekend due to technical difficulties, most notably during the Super Street Fighter IV grand finals. Hopefully this won’t be an issue next year and the stream’s producers, Level|Up, will take note. Videos of the finals are available at EVO’s Youtube channel here. Results after the jump.
