I could go on and on, but you get the picture. But if you don't finish your opponent within a few seconds, you lose the round automatically, preventing it from having any practical applications. Then there's Pandora mode, which kills off your active character to give you a short lived damage boost. The two button custom combos would appear to be a way to give newcomers an easy way to get some damage until they get the hang of their character, but this role is already handled by the more effective Cross Rush. Cross Assault, which allows both characters on your team to be on screen fighting at once, is entirely pointless except in the exceedingly rare case that you're playing with a human partner. To many, SFxT's mechanics are either redundant or useless. Rather, it's a simple matter of puzzling design choices. To be clear, this isn't merely about the game lacking the chops to satisfy tournament level players. These basic elements are enough to entertain the uninitiated, but most seasoned vets will see right through the glossy veneer and peg Street Fighter X Tekken for the flawed fighter it is.
On the surface, it has all the components of an entertaining brawler: a colorful cast of characters, flashy moves, and more juggles than a three-ring circus. This is still the same goofy fighting game it was seven months ago, meaning if you thought its systems were quizzical back then, you'll still be sighing in exasperation on a regular basis. Granted, none of these issues make SFxT impossible to enjoy on the Vita, assuming you enjoyed it in the first place. To be fair, I don't think there was a better way to handle the situation, but that doesn't change the fact that it impacts the play experience significantly. Capcom tries to solve this problem by allowing you to assign these commands to different zones on the front and rear touch screens, but it's far from ideal.

On a full sized arcade stick, you don't really need to, but hitting all three punches when two of them are on the face and the other is a shoulder button is really unreliable. Street Fighter X Tekken has 6 attack buttons, which means there's nowhere left to map all 3 punches or kicks. Perhaps the biggest problem the game faces, however, is the control layout of the Vita itself. Load times are longer than they should be, especially when playing online where you also have to deal with a good bit of lag as well. I wish I could say all of SFxT's issues were visual, but I'd be lying if I did. None of these shortcomings are deal breakers on their own, but their combined effect mutes some of the visual impact the original brought to the table. These visual concessions are made all the more noticeable by the stage backgrounds, which have not only been simplified in terms of what's going on in them, but by some layers having been converted from full 3D to static 2D images. Lighting seems flat and textures aren't nearly as crisp as they could be given how much power the Vita pushes. Capcom 3 looks and plays nearly identically to its big brother on console, SFxT loses some of its luster. This isn't to say that nothing gets lost in translation, however. Further sweetening the deal, you get the 12 additional characters that console customers had to pay extra for, and you can even beat your PS3-playing friends down with them through the seamless cross platform netplay to add insult to injury. Every character, stage and feature from the home version is at your disposal, including online matchmaking and the battle log feature which keeps a rolling record of your most recent fights so you can re-watch them as you please. Content-wise, you get the complete experience. Of course, the main goal here was to create a console caliber experience on the go, and Street Fighter X Tekken on Vita does a passable job of it. How much you get out of the Vita release – which is seven months late to the market - will have a lot to do with which category you place yourself in. Capcom 3, but for more serious challengers, it leaves a lot to be desired. Players looking for a good time with some buddies and beers won’t find it any more or less entertaining than Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition or Ultimate Marvel vs. It's easy to argue that casual fight fans are usually playing an entirely different game from the hardcore nuts, but for SFxT, this proves especially true.
At no point in Street Fighter’s 25-year history has a single entry so completely embodied the unique dichotomy that exists within its fan base. Street Fighter X Tekken is, without any question, the most divisive fighting game Capcom has ever produced.
