Street Fighter X Tekken

The dream collab between two of the biggest, and most iconic, fighting games ever. Street Fighter X Tekken brings the Tekken characters into the Street Fighter style of gameplay (with a lil bit of Tekken spices in there).



Its a 6 button fighter meaning it has a light, medium, and heavy punch/kick. Its 2 vs. 2 but it has what I call the Tekken Tag Syndrome where as soon as you lose 1 of your characters the round ends, so you'll have to be very careful and pay attention to both health bars.
