It will also have a cast of characters mixed up from both games, no details where given about what characters will feature in the game. Also details were not given to whether both games will have the same cast of characters, or if they will feature different members of the franchises for each game.
Tekken X Street Fighter will be in the classic Tekken formula, 3-D fighting game with realistic visuals. No images or footage has been revealed regarding this version of the game, but it is confirmed that the game will be released after the SF version of the game.

Both games should be released by Christmas 2012, a long way away, but at least it is coming for fans of both series.
