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!
