That's a lot of fighters! | If you've ever played Street Fighter then this will look familiar. Ken is on the left with Guile on the right. Health bars are up above. | It would be pretty awesome to see someone fly through the air and spinning with their legs out. |

T-Rexs are in a stage for some reason. | I'm sure this was an extremely memorable moment in the gripping Street Fighter story line. | I'm a big fan of Zangief and what I used to call his "360" moves (so called because you need to move the D-pad all the way around to pull of the move). They do tons of damage. The cat on the right is the PlayStation mascot in Japan. |

Street Fighter X Tekken
Street Fighter X Tekken is made by Capcom (the people who make Street Fighter) but includes many of the characters from the Tekken series. I played a fair amount of Street Fighter II growing up (actually, "Super Street Fighter II Alpha") and love the game. Other than that, though, I haven't played much in the series or fighting games in general. Of all of the fighting games available, I like street fighter the most because the move sets are easy enough for me to remember. There are some fighting games that require an enormous amount of skill and timing, and these just aren't for me. I'm providing this personal background to absolve myself of the sin of not knowing the finer details of the game.
Basically, the game plays a lot like Street Fighter IV (which plays a lot like Street Fighter II). You have a meter at the bottom of the screen that fills up when you take or deal damage, and you can use this meter to execute Super Moves which are hard to pull off but deal tons of damage. Overall, it's like playing a console quality fighting game on your Vita, which is pretty cool!
