In an ideal world, this would have been the next full spin-off project after Tekken 7, becoming a fan favorite and selling a shit ton.
But they sold Tekken 7, 6 years ago and nothing ever came after.

Honestly pretty disappointed. I feel like this would have been a great way to reuse Tekken 7's visual assets before going fully current gen.
There is no way you could just Tekken 7 Akuma the whole cast, they had to create new playstyles for the vast majority of the Street Fighter side. Like charge characters in particular could not function in any way in a proper 3D sense, especially not with Tekken's unique movement controls. In that case and especially with how poorly 2D characters have been received in Tekken I understand why the project went nowhere.

You know, as a long time Tekken player and Eliza main in 7, I can't really disagree with you.
Tekken wasn't made for 2D characters like Eliza, Akuma, and Geese in mind. They each have their own jank bullshit and so many players don't know how to deal with it.
The Street Fighter cast wouldnt have to be 2D based but with Akuma in Tekken 7 they just transplanted him from Street Fighter 4.
The existing roster can deal with 2D characters, but the newer characters with EZ mode moves have an easier time. All they needed is a (quick) universal method to float jump-ins that has a high hit box.
Fight fire with fire. Pick Noctis and float jump-ins with 2,2. When Akuma dive kicks into jab string, b1+4 punch parry. When Geese throws a Repukken, warp strike immediately.

Well we get Tekken vs Street Fighter in Smash now so that is something. But sad to hear. Crossovers are so nice
Clarification
That's even more confusing! Why does he want me to buy a TV?
But ya sounds like it's still just shelved which might as well be dead.
Would've been better to let people think it was canceled until you had something to say IMO.
Harada is keeping Tekken x Street Fighter in limbo as a tribute to his friend Yoshinori "Darkstalkers is not Dead" Ono
Can Tekken vs Street Fighter just be repurposed into Namco vs Capcom so we can get all kinds of crazy characters from both companies' deep catalogue of IPs. So we can have teams of like Kazuya and Nightmare against teams of people like Dante and Phoenix Wright.
It isn't cancelled the game just moved up state to live on a farm.
It's been pending for how many years? Why ISN'T it cancelled then?
I definitely think that SF X Tekken's reception played a role in this project being hampered. This is a huge fan project opportunity and it's also clearly a huge opportunity to drop the ball. To the point to where it might not be even worth the shot.
Shame too as easily my favorite part about SF X Tekken was seeing the Tekken characters realized in SF's style. Certain characters I think looked/played better than they ever have. Would have loved to see it the other way around.
Nice to see the clarification though that's it's not completely dead. Let the weird ghost continue to roam.

Not surprising, but they should really resurrect TxSF at some point. The Tekken brand is in a great place right now, and Akuma and Geese in T7 are the best proofs of concept you could ask for.
Oh, that's good.
So what's the holdup, lol?

They current making Tekken 8 and if everything goes well that can be the base
*wishful thinking*
The clousure tasted so nice... oh well to keep on waiting...
With what Harada does to fan favorites he does not like, no thanks.
Harada has been consistent with his messaging regarding the game over this decade: that the game wasn't in active development and he would like to return to it someday. Anyone aware of TxSF's development knows that, and no one is in denial of that fact. So I fail to see what's "wild" about people that have a modicum of hope that the game will come to fruiction.
Taking potshots at a relatively silent group of people that have been minding their business doesn't look good on you.
Honestly, at this point the more accurate thing to say would be that the "idea" of a Tekken-based TxSF game isn't dead--Harada would still like to make a game around that concept, but the specific game that would have hypothetically been released in the 360/PS3 era as "Tekken x Street Fighter" is very much dead.
I guess? but it's been nearly 10 years, as Fukuzatsu said, the idea could come back, but this weird insistence of "it's not exactly dead" is just weird and pointless to me
