At E3 this year, Destructoid brought you a close look at Street Fighter X Tekken with the Destructoid vs Capcom tournament between Jonathan Holmes, Seth Killian, and myself. Though it was the first time that Jonathan had played the game, I actually had some practice playing throughout the convention. Therefore, I thought I actually had a shot to win that mini tournament.
Sadly, I didn't quite pull it off back then, and Seth walked away victorious. Fast forward to EVO this past weekend, where I had the opportunity to take him on in a grudge match after my scheduled interview. I'm sure Seth wasn't aware of how salty I was, nor how badly I wanted this win. Now that we are tied up, I'm ready to accept Seth's challenge to decide the ultimate winner of this feud. Bring it, Killian!

Also! SRK posted a video titled "Hype"(What is Hype?) and at around 1:00 and 2:00 into the video, you can see Jesse! I was watching this and was like 'I think I recognize that guy...' :D
Awesome! Seth is an amazing player, so this is quite an achievement. I'm so proud of you Jesse!
@ Metal Mark- I really enjoyed my time with Street Fighter X Tekken at E3. It really feels like the best of Tekken Tag and Street Fighter 4 blended together into one game. I think some fans may be a little put off by how much easier it is to string together combos in SFXT than it is in SSF4, but it wont be a deal breaker.
Overall, if you like playing Street Fighter 4 with characters like Fei Long, Guy, Ibuki, T. Hawk, Gen, Blanka, Cammy, El Fuerte, or Makoto, there will be a lot of characters on SFXT that you'll be able to pick up and play on day one. Ken and Ryu may finally be taking the back seat on this one.
Thanks! I'm sure he wasn't expecting me to come out swinging, but I had to avenge our honor! I gotta make sure to stay practiced up for next time!

Yeah, I was watching there at Evo and was like, hey! Thats me! I hope that I did you and all of Dtoid proud with my coverage last weekend! I made sure to rep our robot overlord as best as possible <3 <3
Thanks for checking out all the coverage! *warm fuzzies inside*

but on a more serious note, what did Jonathan Holmes think of the game?
Also Chad from screwattack in the background at the start.
