Street Fighter X Tekken Has No XBox 360 Exclusive Characters

Last month, we told you about all the details for Street Fighter X Tekken's gem system. We still hold out hope that this system will make Street Fighter X Tekken an innovative title within a genre that thrives on "the next big thing" to keep its games in the public eye. This time, we're bringing some less mechanical information to you. An interview with XBox 360 Achievements has revealed that despite arrangements for the appearance of inFamous's Cole as well as the "Sony cats" Kuro and Toro in PS3 versions of Street Fighter X Tekken, there will be no Master Chief, Marcus Fenix, or any other XBox 360 exclusive characters appearing.  

 

"For the Xbox 360, we were in discussions with [Microsoft] for which character to put in as an exclusive, but we weren't able to decide on a character because of differences in timing and things like that," said Capcom producer Yoshinori Ono to the XBox 360 fan site earlier this week. He expressed a desire to see one of the two "shooter kings" of the Microsoft console put in to the game but did not inspire any hope as to a redaction of the confirmation of no exclusive characters. Despite this setback, we expect Street Fighter X Tekken to be a fantastic game, and we are saddened that Cole, Kuro, and Toro will almost certainly be unplayable in the tournament scene due to their exclusivity.
