Capcom's crossover fighting game announcements didn't stop at "Marvel vs. Capcom 3" character reveals at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. The company hosted a panel that went beyond their own offices and unveiled "Street Fight X Tekken," which Capcom will produce and "Tekken X Capcom," which will come from Namco Bandai.
"The Street Fighter and Tekken development teams have a great relationship," Tekken creator Katsuhiro Harada said, according to a CVG report. "However, I see this new project not as a collaboration, but as the competition of the century between two legendary fighting game franchises."
The two game-makers will be taking a different approach to their crossover projects by producing competing games. Both sides seem to be ready to step into the ring though.
"This is history we're making," 'Street Fighter X Tekken' producer Yoshinori Ono said. "Two fighting games that have rivalled each other are finally standing on the same stage. This isn't just a showdown between Tekken and Street Fighter, but a decisive battle for Capcom and Namco Bandai Games. So I'm going to give it my all."
Discussions have been going on for about a year, according to comments Ono made to Famitsu.com, as translated in an Andriasang post. The release date time-frame seems a bit more ambiguous, however, with launches planned for sometime within the next two years.

The "Street Fighter 4" series may end with "Super Street Fighter 4," but that doesn't necessarily mean that Capcom is done adding new warriors to the their latest SF title. In fact, a new Japanese advertisement for the "Super Street Fighter 4" arcade machine contains a cryptic tease that may leave the door open for new challengers.
"Here comics new challengers?!" the flyer, which was posted on Kotaku, reads. Furthermore, the Japanese text there promises "The Appearance Of New Challengers!" as it's translated in the report.
Since newbies to "SSF4" like Ibuki and Dee Jay are already featured, it's entirely possible that a few more characters are being worked in.
It is of course also possible that the message is just targeted toward "Street Fighter 4" arcade machine players and the flyer just wants to make sure that they know these new guys and gals in the pictures have been added. Nevertheless, Capcom has every incentive to want to make the SF faithful leave their console games at home for an afternoon and pump some coins into their new units.
As long as Hakan appears, no matter what the case may be, the "SSF4" arcade edition will get my quarters whenever I see it.
Who would you like to see added if Capcom puts new challengers in "SSF4"? Do you want to see original characters? Share your responses in the comment section below.

Capcom came through with those additional fighters in a new update for "Street Fighter 4" on iPhone. If you visited the App Store in the last day or so and downloaded the recommended content, you should now see Zangief and Cammy on the character select screen.
Any of you who have struggled in the past while attempting to pull off Zangief's Atomic Buster combos or Cammy's Drive Smasher combos will most certainly appreciate the one-button (plus directional controls) special combos with both of them, just as you did with the game's first wave of characters.
Additionally, if you happen to be playing this game on an iPhone 4 today, it runs very, very smoothly. The performance was great on the 3GS, but the difference for folks such as myself who upgraded from a 3G is noticeable.
Now that Capcom has given us these two new faces, the question is, will we see anyone else showing up in the near future? I would love to see Capcom do what they balked at for "Street Fighter 4" on consoles and keep a steady wave of DLC trickling out via updates.
Who would you like to see come to "SF4" on the iPhone if Capcom makes more character updates? Anything else you'd like to see augmented? Share your responses in the comment section below.

According to Andriasang’s translation of a post on Capcom’s Japanese blog, the developer is planning to roll out a patch for Super Street Fighter IV on June 15 — the same day as the release of the game’s Tournament Mode DLC — which will remove a few exploits and address some balancing issues players have discovered since the title’s launch. For the full list of (highly technical) changes included in the update, just click past the jump.
The patch remedies a few sizable issues, such as the unblockable Ultra exploit — however, it doesn’t return E. Honda’s “Thousand-Hand Bitch Slap” maneuver to its original, unbeatable glory. Hopefully that particular fix will come in a later update.
