Tekken vs Street Fighter still “frozen/pending” confirmed by Harada [See Threadmarks]
- Thread starter GTOAkira
- Start date
I always felt Akuma was only there as a sort of peace offering to show that they tried and got at least that far.
That was always my take from the situation and pretty sure it's what happened.

Akuma in Tekken 7 and TKvSF really remind me of cvs3 and capcom fighting all star. Basically after CVS3 was cancelled capcom got the permission from SNK to have K' in cfas. That also got cancelled but I think this was the same thing for akuma. After TKvsSF got cancelled namco probably asked capcom if they could reused akuma and put him in TK7.
What do you mean? It's got all the greats. It's got Ryu, Ken, and Kazuya.
They didn't confirm this to shock you though
They confimed this so that it's finally official
well.. hopefully the amount of SF guests expands in the next Tekken game, at least :\
it's more likely than you'd think, since Akuma was implemented on the canon story unlike the other guests

So the last bit of info they shared about this game five years ago was it being at 30% development which is also when they cancelled it.
Lmao, incredible

No surprises. It was inevitable.
And now with Ono gone, I don't think even a future revival has slim chances.

Replace them with characters I pla-- I mean, uh, more interesting and varied characters, and then we'll be talking.
THANK GOD ITS DEAD
Given that Geese and Akuma are terrible to fight and watch and have been absolutely toxic to the scene I hope this spells the death of 2D characters in Tekken. A game with half 2D characters would have been an absolute shitshow

I'm amazed that it took this long to be cancelled. Started off from the PS3/360 era & now here we are.
To do it over would take a lot of time, resources & money, especially as they would have to create a lot of newer assets on the characters to take advantage of the PS4/PS5 & Xbox One/Series X on hardware & graphics.

And don't forget Terry from Fatal Fury/KOF.
release it as if it's a full game and stick a CD Project Red logo on the box.
I imagine it's not a popular opinion, but I'm with you. I've never been all too big on 2D fighters to begin with, but having to fight them in T7 really cemented what I don't like about the subgenre. Herky-jerky clipped movements, so many thumb destroying pad gestures, moon jumps, projectiles out the wazoo. It just feels so graceless.
I don't even like Tekken that much and I can't help but agree with you. From a gameplay standpoint, I always found them the least fun to play against because now suddenly I have to think in 2D terms in addition to Tekken terms. Which I mean is fine but I don't think playing SF and worrying about baiting DPs and shit is why people play Tekken.
*insert joke about Lars' u+3 being a DP in Tekken 6*
