« 1UP.COM: Street Fighter x Tekken Preview »

I put together a lengthy preview of Street Fighter x Tekken for 1UP.com based on what was shown in the Comic-Con gameplay trailer. It's a primarily a speculative article where I give my run down on who I would like to see in the game and some of the different gameplay mechanics that could potentially show up as well.

Here is an excerpt from the preview and you can read the article in its entirety by clicking here.

Subtle Details: If you look a little closer, you'll find other subtle details about the gameplay such as mid attacks that knockdown. In the video, Kazuya performs a blockstring that ends with an attack that hits Ryu while he is crouch blocking -- sending him flying. Backdash Invincibility also appears to be in the game, allowing Kazuya to backdash away from Ryu's Fierce Punch.

I also noticed there is a good bit of recovery on ducking movement, namely when Ryu Donkey Kicks Kazuya in the face as he tries to duck under a hadouken. Lastly, you'll see that there is a bit of push back when a character is hit with an attack that puts them into a spinning state, in this case preventing Kazuya from ducking in to dish out more damage.
