![]() New GEMs and Quick Combos can be unlocked or downloaded via DLC (some that require a small fee) and there are a lot to collect. Aside from GEM, quick combos are also a major game twister that players can activate by simply tapping two buttons. These two elements contribute heavily to the outcome of each match and can easily turn the tide. GEMs come in two flavors : Assist GEMs (blocks grabs, boost speed, etc.) & Boost GEMs (stronger attacks) both of which still use the charge meter. After that we arrive to the infamous GEM System which, for better or worse, makes the game unique. Once the character drops to 25% you can sacrifice one teammate to get a timed boost of energy before koing. Another devious special, which I personally find cheap, is the Pandora special. If you don’t like that then you can always stick to your specials which can be used for both characters or one. Besides tagging your partner in/out, you can use also use cross assault which allows you to bring both characters in the ring for some crazy hadouken spamming. So, while from the outside it may look like your typical Street Fighter rehash (charge meter, anyone?) you shouldn’t be fooled by its cover. The combos, cross assault, and specials are incredibly easy to pull off which is a complete opposite from Street Fighter’s “hand dancing” combos. ![]() In fact, Street Fighter X Tekken can be played by nearly anyone. All the moves and animations have been tailored to work on a Street Fighter style approach so if you can looks past that and accept for what it is then you can definitely find a fighter worthy of your time. If you are a Tekken veteran player who is used to a 3D free fighting style, then this may impact your choice heavily. Street Fighter X Tekken adopts a 2D fighting style approach that practically mimics Street Fighter 4. Street Fighter X Tekken finally brings both worlds together and while the PSVITA version brings nothing new to the table it’s still a worthy port & recommended for anyone looking for a fun brawler on the go. Whether if it was at the arcade mashing buttons or sitting at home training for the next tournament, you can’t deny that Street Fighter and Tekken were one those games that defined our gaming youth.
