Street Fighter x Tekken DLC characters leaked - report

By Wesley Yin-Poole Published 1 February, 2012

Cody! Guy! Christie! Leo!

A list of downloadable content for fighting game Street Fighter x Tekken has leaked onto the internet.

Screw Attack has published a list of DLC, which includes gems, colours and new costumes, as well as new characters.

The New Challengers Pack, down for $7.99, apparently adds four characters to the game: Cody and Guy from Capcom and Christie and Leo from Namco.

The X Unlocker ($4.99) unlocks two secret characters, Akuma and Ogre, as well as all additional character colours and special modes without having to perform the in-game tasks to unlock them.

The X Unlocker sounds like a time-saving DLC - it seems likely you'll be able to unlock Akuma and Ogre, two characters Capcom has teased previously, without it.

All the DLC listed by Screw Attack amounts to around $55. The list is reproduced below.

  • Boost Gem Pack 1 - $2.99, Includes 9 new gems to equip to your characters.
  • Boost Gem Pack 2 - $2.99, Includes 9 new gems to equip to your characters.
  • Colour Edit Pack 1 - FREE, Includes 4 new colours to use in the Colour Edit mode.
  • Costume Swap S Pack - $9.99, Includes a new costume for each of the Street Fighter characters, based on a Tekken character.
  • Costume Swap T Pack - $9.99, Includes a new costume for each of the Tekken characters, based on a Street Fighter character.
  • Costume Swap X Pack - $15.99, A combination of the S Pack and T Pack - Includes new costumes for each character, based on characters from the opposite series.
  • New Challengers Pack - $7.99, Adds 4 new characters to the game: Cody, Guy, Christie and Leo.
  • X Unlocker - $4.99, Unlocks two secret characters, Akuma and Ogre, as well as all additional character colours and special modes without having to perform the in-game tasks to unlock them.

It should be noted that both Cody and Guy were shown in an early Street Fighter x Tekken trailer.

Capcom has confirmed 40 characters for the game so far. Expect another announcement for a final set of characters soon.

    This kind of activity (DLC Characters in particular) just shits all over anyone who organises FG tournaments! Damnit Capcom!!

  • coderkind #2 4 months ago

    If those characters are viable in matches, then sadly I guess so.

  • PixelEdged #3 4 months ago

    Capcom will release Super Street Fighter x Mega Tekken with all these in before the years out!

    Back in the day this sort of stuff was actually in the game! You got it by simply playing the game and unlocking it.

  • nickthegun #6 4 months ago

    So to unlock all the content on the disk you are looking at almost double the cost of the actual game?

    Capcom, I love you but youre bringing me down.

  • nickthegun #7 4 months ago

    Also, to cater for the tournament crowd, apparently SC5s game save isnt locked per console (on the PS3 at least) so you only need to unlock everything once and move it from machine to machine.

    Im going to go out on a limb and say this is not a feature of SFXT

    "All the DLC listed by Screw Attack amounts to around $55."

    A little misleading as the most expensive piece is a combo of the two next most expensive items.

    I'm not really sure why I'm defending this but I imagine:

    A) Only the biggest fans will bother with the DLC and, as they will probably be sinking a ridiculous amount of time in to it, it won't end up being crazy expensive.
    B) The only ones that appear to make a difference to the game are the new characters and the (bloody) gems, which cost $14 total.
    C) The previous SF games have retailed at a little less than your average console game.

    I only purchase DLC for games I really like and want to extend. I see it almost as a charity donation to the developers who are making games I want to play so I'm happy to sponsor them to make more.

    The gems are the only annoying bit. I don't recall even CoD having the balls to charge for additional perks or weapons. The only way to defend this is to say we're not quite sure how important they will be but I'd have preferred costumes to be included as pre-order incentives as they have no effect on the match. Then all the gems could be included for free.

    Oh dear Capcom. Oh dear.

  • afrogeez #10 4 months ago

    Looks like i'll be waiting for the super duper mega edition. Screw you in the face capcom!

  • Phantom_Dynamite #11 4 months ago

    I have decided against purchasing this now, I think I'll get Soul Calibur V, I actually miss 3d fighters my last being Tekken 6.

  • Dr_Cowley #12 4 months ago

    To all the people crying 'Wahhh we used to get this stuff for free with the game'

    True, but we also used to pay £40 for those games when they were released.

    I got SSFIV for £22 on release date. I'd rather get the game cheaper and pay extra for any guff than have the game be double price but include a bunch of costumes and other tatt that I wont use.

  • sfp_noodle #13 4 months ago

    Right fuck you Capcom. I knew they were going to do this anyway given their history, but didn't expect it so soon. I'll be waiting for the super extreme baked beans hovis bread turbo edition sometime in Xmas 2012, or early 2013.

  • Bigmac1910 #14 4 months ago

    Cool, I'll be waiting for the GOTY edition then.

  • nickthegun #15 4 months ago

    I would like to know robotrockers opinion on this

  • Ironic_War_Criminal #16 4 months ago

    A) Fake

    B) Screw Attack as a source? Holy goddamn Eurogamer you standards have nosedived

  • Ironic_War_Criminal #17 4 months ago

    Oh by the way, here' is a list of the games you people didn't whinge about when they were released which pulled the exact same shit as Capcom did.

    BlazBlue Continuum Shift
    Arcana Heart 3
    King of Fighters XIII (And that had three on disc DLC characters but everyone was so busy masturbating over "2D IS BACK" to point it out)
    Soul Calibur 5 (Day 1 DLC of on disc create a character pieces and music)

    I await the incessant nerd whinging and hypocrisy to amuse me.

  • afrogeez #18 4 months ago

    @Ironic_War_Criminal I myself am not interested in those games so I didn't moan about them. But DLC done this way is still a pile of balls.

    Ps. You just whined a bit, I found it amusing.

  • sega #19 4 months ago

    Oh piss off Capcom - I thought Cody and Guy were actually in the game from the start. You made a full trailer with them kicking down a "new challenger sign"! Unacceptable - I'm not buying this now.

  • 1Dgaf #20 4 months ago

    The screwattack page makes it clear this is a rumour.

  • RandomTerrain #21 4 months ago

    Glad to see it's the less popular characters they have done this with.
    I'll pass on the DLC, I don't need it.
    Looking forward to seeing the reviews on this, hoping it's amazing!

  • TRUTH #22 4 months ago

    Do yourself a favour and buy King Of Fighters XIII - probably the best and deepest 2D fighter, looks gorgeous too...If fed up witn the contsant button mashers that seem to be coming from Capcom and with the constant updates in the series (which im sure Capcom do on purpose); KoF XIII doex outshine Capcoms fighters , inc Street Fighter!

  • TheLastProphet #23 4 months ago

    @afrogeez Capcom have already confirmed there will not be any disc/retail based updates to Street Fighter X Tekken, and that all updates will be via DLC only. Not much point waiting for a game which will never be released.
