Street Fighter X Tekken/WMG: Difference between revisions

Line 21:

== [[Street Fighter Alpha (Video Game)|Sakura, Karin]], and [[Street Fighter IV (Video Game)|Juri]] will be in ''SFxT''. ==

Lili and Asuka have been leaked in the E3 trailer (Lili appears ''immediately'' when the trailer starts, about five seconds in; if you're quick, you can catch a glimpse of her boots) and Asuka appears as the cloaked figure Chun-Li confronts during [[The Stinger]]. As such, it only makes sense that their [[Alternate Company Equivalent|counterparts]] from ''SF'' make the cut as well. It doesn't hurt that they're [[Ensemble Darkhorse|quite popular]] and since they weren't featured in ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (Video Game)|MvC3]]'', they have a good chance of making it here (especially since the [[Power Creep Power Seep]] element won't be as noticeable since ''SF'' and ''Tekken'' are more evenly matched).

As for Juri, Hwoarang's already confirmed for the game; [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny|you should see what I'm getting at here.]]

Line 43:

== The Tekken cast is invading the Street Fighter universe, possibly to acquire the Satsui no Hado ==

Based on the trailers, the Tekken cast are being shown in a more villainous role (even for the heroic characters from the franchise) for the game. So far, Kazuya has brutally murdered Dan Hibiki as well as violently attacked Ryu and Ken with support from Nina and possibly support from the Tekken Force and NANCY-MI847J (or whatever the robot that appeared near Nina and Ken is called). It should be noted that both Ryu and Ken are among the most likely (after Akuma, natch) to tap into the full power of the Satsui no Hado, making them prime targets in Kazuya's eyes. In addition, the stages and atmosphere of the game have implied that most of the Street Fighter cast have been on the defensive from the more aggressive Tekken cast invading their universe. Furthermore, when Chun-Li confronts Asuka in [[The Stinger]] of the E3 trailer, the situation seems as if Chun-Li is trying to get some information out of Asuka as to what is going on.

* This seems plausible for someone like Kazuya, Heihachi, and maybe Jin ({{spoiler|if he wants to make his [[Fake Defector]] shtick more believable; [[Super Powered Evil Side|Devil Jin]] would be more likely to go after that kind of power, though}}), but I'm not sure if that would be motivating the other characters as well. If the timeline of the crossover is somehow following the current ''Tekken'' story (which is likely given the Kaz uses a Tekken Force member to call for Jin), then Nina wouldn't even be helping Kazuya because she's serving as Jin's [[The Dragon|Dragon]] in the Mishima Zaibatsu. Not to mention that there are only a handful of characters in the verse that are spiritually aware/have understanding of the supernatural (the Mishima and Kazama families, Julia and Michelle, Zafina, ''probably'' Yoshimitsu and the Manji Party). I'm willing to bet that guys like King, Marduk, and Hwoarang don't even ''know'' about the Satsui no Hadou, and the more benevolent fighters (i.e. Julia) wouldn't even want to get involved with such destructive power in the first place.

* Jossed with the actual storyline, involving Pandora and almost the entire cast (both SF and T) going to Antarctica to see what's going on with the artifact. (Poison and Hugo are there just to show for the media, Cole wants to destroy/absorb Pandora and the two cat things are there [[For the Lulz]].)

Line 102:

== Jin sent Nina to spy on Kazuya. ==

In ''SFxT'', if the various trailers and official website are any indication, Kazuya/Nina is one of the canonical tag teams for the story. However, the profiles for the story say that Nina just mysteriously came out of nowhere to offer her services to Kazuya. The story shows that the Mishima Zaibatsu (and Shadaloo, but that's inconsequential to this WMG) is connected to some of the plot. The fact that '''a)''' Kazuya's bio notes that he's working with G Corportation (while plotting behind the scenes to retake the Zaibatsu), '''b)''' neither Heihachi nor Kuma are in control of the Zaibatsu, and '''c)''' one of the trailers has Kazuya send a message to Jin through one of the Tekken Force members makes it a safe bet to say that this timeline follows the events of ''Tekken 5'' and ''6'', where Jin won leadership of the Mishima Zaibatsu and made Nina his [[The Dragon|Dragon]]. It's yet to be seen if Jin will be directly involved here (and [[Tropers/X 2 X|I'm]] sure that he will be), but he knows that his father is the one person he most definitely needs to keep his eye on. Seeing as ''6'' shows that Jin puts a good deal of trust, faith, and respect in Nina (and vice versa), he'd figure that Ms. Williams is the only woman capable of getting the job done. Kaz may or may not know himself, but this being Kazuya, he probably doesn't feel threatened enough to worry about it in the first place.

* Most likely confirmed in their ending, {{spoiler|where Nina tries to prevent Kazuya from getting his hands on Pandora. Kazuya, expecting this, summons a horde of G Corp. soldiers. Nina hightails it out of there, but not before going to town on everyone except for Kazuya, [[One Man Army|One Woman Army]]-style.}}
