According to a recent report, Street Fighter X Tekken won't be coming to the PS Vita until this fall, but Capcom wants to make it worth the wait. The handheld version of the game will "introduce" 12 additional characters to the game (on top of the PS3/PS Vita exclusive characters Cole McGrath, Toro, Kuro, Mega Man, and Pac-Man). It's weird for Capcom to announce all that in one go. It totally goes against their usual slow trickle-style of character reveals. There are no screenshots of any of the new characters either. Strange.
There are some specifics thought. Word has it is that Blanka, Sakura, Dudley, Elena (finally!), and the previously hinted at Cody and Guy will be joining in from world of Street Fighter. From the Tekken-scape, we'll get Alisa, Jack, Christie, Lars, Lei, and Bryan. Hope you like half naked Capoeira ladies, because now you're getting two of them.
Capcom also announced that initial retail version of Street Fighter X Tekken is the only "disc-based" purchase we'll need to make to get the full SFxT experience, and that all future upgrades to the game will be made available via post launch DLC. Is that Capcom's way of saying "Please buy this game at launch! You don't need to wait for Super Street Fighter X Ultimate Tekken Tag to get all the content we have planned for this release"? Are they implying that all characters they plan to "introduce" in the PS Vita version will eventually make their way to the PS3/360 versions via DLC? Will that DLC be free? If not, won't that piss off all the PS3/360 fans who'll have to pay so much more for content that PS Vita owners will get for nothing?
Stop acting weird, Capcom. It's scaring the children.

I was planning to wait for the PC version anyway, so this doesn't hurt me too much. It's still fucking dickish to PLAN to keep 12 characters off the initial roster just to sell it to people down the road - and it's fucking idiotic to let people know beforehand!
This pleases me.
I guess I'm gonna bite the bullet on this one.
I'm gonna rent this while hackers tear through the game. If there are any DLC characters on the disk I'm just going to buy a used copy.
Just to let you know [won't] is correct. Won't means will not.
The three meanings of [wont] are different from [won't]. I'll just correct your correction. >_>
likewise, if capcom decides to sell those 12 characters at 5 dollars each, then that's an extra 60 dollars, so they might as well come out with a "Super street foghter vs tekken"
finally, if capcom always has so much dlc planned and so many characters down the road, why don't they just leave the game in the oven a little longer? At what point does adding dlc become "we released an incomplete base to be augmented with more characters".
Suggesting that isn't enough is like saying Skyrim is incomplete because its expansions aren't out, yet it has 400+ hours of content at release. That's not enough?
I imagine some of these characters were planned, but others were fan requests to be worked in later. Its probably hard enough striking a balance with 40.
@Jeremiah Stegman
Yoshimitsu was one of the first confirmed characters in the game. He is in the game no DLC required.
Not to mention some of you retards just bought BlazBlue CS Extend for Vita or consoles and that was $40 AFTER they charged $7 PER CHARACTER for CS2, only to have them now be part of Extend with only one measly character and with no downloadable version of any of it.
But no no, Capcom's the only villain here and so you'll all just continue on with the retard ranting.
okay I didn't know that there was 40 characters, that's more than a fair roster that dlc is acceptable (unless they have a few day 1 dlc characters which I wouldn't be surprised). Regardless that's a healthy roster.
well, i guess once they make their "ea comeback" i might feign a little bit more interest.
I LOVE THEM
I really do hope there is a ultimate console version, so I can pick it all up on disk.
>No arcade sticks.
>The online community will be less populated.
>It comes out this fall - much later than the console version.
HAVE FUN!!
I'll be playing it in a couple of weeks and I'll decide later if the DLC is worth my time. So far, those characters aren't too tempting - Jack, Bryan and Lei are the only lip-biters for me.
I'm still hype.
If I enjoy the game on console enough I'll perhaps pick up a Vita in the fall so I can practice on the go.
then in four months
"NEW! SUPER STREET FIGHTER X TEKKEN! NOW WITH FORCE NO GEMS AND OTHER SHIT THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE AND ALL 12 DLC CHARACTERS INCLUDED + 4 NEW ONES! ONLY $40!"
Anyone who doesn't expect this is a moronic twat.
Capcom and I have been over for a while now.
But given their recent track record anyone who DOESN'T expect a super ultra mega hyper turbo release is, well, oblivious to the shit right in front of them.
"DAY ONE PURCHASE!" after Wednesday Night Fights
now I'm all
"SECOND HAND PURCHASE!" after this ridonkulous news since Blanka's been my main since SF2. Well done Capcom, you just sold 1 less copy of the game.
I brought sf4 2 times plus the dlc for AE, but I also played it longer than any other game this generation, and still play it.
I know nobody wants to pay extra, on the other side I prefer paying for more charakters then not having them at all.
i mean, if you wanna pay because you aren't that good then by all means... but if u show the balls to play against seth 17 times in a row on hard, u definitely deserve a lil something, something.
or does perseverance not count for anything anymore? do we all just pay to win the game now?
what whiners dont see is, who would pay for dlc for sf4 from 2009 knowing that things like tf2 frome 2007 update regularly for free? patches keep the online mode alive.
i BOUGHT sf4 once because i'm not an idiot, and paid for dlc costumes that were already on the disc BECAUSE i was an idiot.
i know nobody wants to pay for things we use to get completely free by playing the game, but on the other side i'm a lazy piece of shit that can't be bothered to actually play the game to get the cool things within it.
There is no word if the 38(?)announced Charakters will be playable from beginning, of I u need to unlock some of them.
Ur words have nothing to do with DLC.
Also, this is a multiplayergame, its just unconvenient to play Arcade mode forever just to finally get the Charakter u want to main.
bunch of DLC character incoming then?
a bit dissapointed still no karin even among those 12 new character:(
ALISA?
CAPCOM, Y U TEMPT ME SO
