Street Fighter X Tekken: Game out now. 12 characters DLC incoming. Day 1 patching.
Posts
But this is Capcom, soooo...
The 2p local/online play thing was brought up in an interview and their response was basically, "It was really easy to implement with PSN's architecture, XBL not so much. It is possible on XBL but was ultimately a cut feature due to the extra time we would need."
I wouldn't be surprised if they patched it in later with one of the big updates.
And exactly why would this be? Guile compliments Rolento's lack of defence and lower health quite well, drop in some beatdown with Rolento, switch to Guile to switch the game up from a faster, constant offense on my part to a thoughtful reactionary defence. That way I'm in control of how the fight flows.

So in other words, it'll be in ultimate
I'm surprised their going so DLC heavy. When MvC3 came out, I really expected them to go the DLC route, especially with certain fan favorites missing. But then again, maybe Marvel was the reason DLC wasn't a big thing.

Rolento: lame 'em out with aggressive footsies
Guile: lame 'em out with impenetrable defense
it's really a beautiful thing you've done here
I can almost feel the rage a brand new Ryu/Ken player feels when seeing your team on character select. I can almost taste their tears.

They couldn't make MK look fun. It was their saddest series.
Tekken sorta has crossups.
Oh look an infinite.
And I'm getting used to the sound issues online. I mean, I want them patched, like, yesterday, but I can deal without raging now.

That's the "official" reason. I know people were pissed about that but I honestly didn't mind paying $40 for 12 new characters and all the extra updates.
I think about it this way: did I get $60 worth of fun out of the original MvC3? Most definitely.
I feel like there's $60 worth of game in SFxT for me if they can fix the online sound problems, regardless of what's locked on the disc. The sound issue alone makes me not want to play this at all.
Don't forget the input problems

Fig, how do you approach/footsie with Asuka? I've been having trouble getting anything started with her.
Actually the only part of TTT2 I've found remotely interesting.
I had trouble at first too, so I know what you mean. You've got two main options on the ground: a) Her b+MP, MK string or b) Two hits of her leg cutter string; df+HK, df+HK. You can use b+MP, MK to punish whiffed footsies and go right into a combo, or just to get in. The second hit is plus on block and special cancelable. Two hits of leg cutter will go into her main combo, the string has decent range, and the second hit is frame neutral on block.
For projectile characters, I get to just outside sweep distance and throw out HP Exorcisor (hcf+HP). It has 22 frames of projectile invincibility, but no part of the attack is safe on block. If they block you just start holding downback after the first hit and hope they were expecting more hits/don't have a 3 frame jab.
s.MK, d+MP is another decent tool because the d+MP is safe and special cancelable, while Asuka's s.MK moves her forward a decent amount.

Wow. 360 users kinda got fucked with this release, didn't we?
I decided that I didn't want to give up on this game just yet, so now I'm deciding who I want to use. I'm going to try and stick with Julia/King, and maybe mess around with Rolento/Poison/Lili/Hwoarang. Julia seems a bit limited in her options, but she seems to do decent damage with fairly simple combos. I'm not sure what to do with King, that knee loop is pretty much all I got. It does some pretty stupid damage though, so I guess it's good for now. Now to try and actually play against people.
It's hard because her moves are just slow enough to get shut down by a lot of things. Especially jumps.
If someone jumps cancel into EX Falling Rain. Her AA grab by itself isn't great, but the EX version is a amazing. Also, f+LK. It moves her hurtbox back a bit and hits where her head was. You can then follow it up with f+LP and go into a Demon Slayer combo.

Rolento and Guile have PLENTY of weaknesses that can be easily exploited by a competent player, it's only lame if you can't adapt and overcome.

I didn't think about EX Falling Rain. I use that in a lot of other situations, though. It's so good.
I seem to trade a bunch of f+lk. Probably because they are jumping in too deep or something.
Lame means they play a style that is safe and difficult to counter (meaning to play literally with countering certain moves in mind) while being deceptively straight-forward looking. I don't think either characters are unbeatable or irritating personally, though the moniker "lame" comes from their nature as scrub-enragers.

I always liked/played King in Tekken and the Gief in SF. How are they in this, and do they make a good team? Also what other brainless are in it.
Thinking about renting it for a day or two to check it out.

Better or worse than SSFIV?

The short for you...
At the very least, Chun is supposedly looking good at the moment, so you have that.
Juri may not suck either, so you could try pairing both of them for who you played in SF4. No clue how good or bad that would end up.
It's coming out for PC in May-ish, I think. Someone else can correct my date if I'm wrong, it's still a few months out. So you don't necessarily need to re-buy a console if you feel like waiting.
The long for you...
At the moment, general consensus seems to be people who started playing before SF4 came out like it better, typically a lot better, than SF4. The pacing and footsies get compared to CvS2 quite a lot, both by people I would trust saying that and by people who like the game but are just parroting that statement. People who started playing with SF4 seem split 50/50 on whether they like or hate it. You can also skim the thread here as people have been pretty vocal about the game, what they like and don't like, in between the other non-sense.
The only universal negative, gameplay issue seems to be the time outs. Not everyone is convinced, even with gems, (currently they're disabled in tourney play due to time constraints, they take too long to setup at the moment) that is going to go away. Personally I don't see it as an issue; if someone wants to lame it out by taking advantage of all the cinematics and having two life bars let 'em. Other people are turned off by it. Hard to gauge a response to that without playing it though to see how much it affects you/bothers you.
Day to day play you run into the online being, roughly, as good on XBL as your SF4 (vanilla) connections were. If that was acceptable then you'll probably be okay. If that was unacceptable then online might cause some hatred. The sound bug is annoying no matter how you look at it, that will happen to you at some point, even if frequency of it seems to come and go.

I am playing Chunster like woah
This game is the return of 3S Chun minus back fierce.

you should still get it on 360 because we miss you terribly
also I find it a lot more fun than sfiv but it also has more characters I actually like
gimme dose quarter circles
I "get" Chun in SF4 but I don't play her because she is pretty not good in AE2012. Same with MVC3. Fair weather Chun fan.

AND SHE WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO ME
edit: i just spent an entire round looking out for Fei Long's dragon kick on wake-up and wondering how his new combos worked.
It's almost like he's a completely different character isn't it? :lol:
