Everything you need to enjoy this game for months (and years) to come will be accessed by the retail disc available this week.


This move also furthers our desire to avoid a “Super” version of the game down the road. The update also saves on file size – instead of a massive download, there will be a much smaller unlock that brings the new content to the surface. For example, not buying costumes in the Street Fighter IV series means you will not see the costumes when playing another person who did buy them on-disc characters avoid this issue and allow everyone to participate in the update without additional patches or hiccups. The new characters fighting their way onto Street Fighter X Tekken are… from the Street Fighter side… Blanka, Cody, Dudley, Elena, Guy and Sakura will be playable and from Tekken… Alisa Bosconovitch, Bryan Fury, Christie Monteiro, Jack, Lars Alexandersson and Lei Wulong will all be available.īy including these 12 characters on the disc, the idea was to ensure easy compatability between players who do and do not choose to download the characters when they arrive as DLC. As a reminder, the retail version of the game will be the only disc-based version consumers will need to own and all future upgrades will come from post-launch DLC. More specifics regarding pricing, dates and other additional exciting DLC plans for Street Fighter X Tekken will be shared at a later date. The character information and files were intentionally included on retail versions of the PS3 and Xbox 360 game to save hard drive space and to ensure for a smooth transition when the DLC is available, allowing players who choose not to purchase the content the ability to play against players that did. The playable characters will make their debut on the PS Vita system when the game is released this fall, with the console and PC versions receiving them as DLC soon after. Their full statement reads:Ĭapcom has confirmed that 12 new fan-favorite characters will be available as Downloadable Content (DLC) on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC versions of Street Fighter X Tekken later this year. Capcom stated that the reason why they put the DLC on the disc was to “ensure easy compatability between players who do and do not choose to download the characters”, and to avoid releasing a “Super” version of the game later on.
