A mysterious meteorite crashes in the South Pole, and hidden away within the meteorite is an [[Artifact of Doom|artifact]] which is given the name "Pandora". Researchers have no clue as to the origins of the cube-like artifact, but they soon discover Pandora causes beings to come into conflict when

Line 51 ⟶ 37:
It has a [[Street Fighter X Tekken/Characters|character sheet]].
{{tropelist}}
* [[Adaptational Attractiveness]]: [http://www.themmnetwork.com/2012/03/02/our-first-look-at-roll-in-street-fighter-versus-tekken/ By contrast with BBA Mega Man], [[Mega Man (video game)|Roll]] goes from a young girl to... a total babe.
* [[Ascended Meme]]: Bad Box-Art Mega Man's reason for his inclusion.
Line 86 ⟶ 72:
** The comic that comes with the special edition of the game [http://www.eventhubs.com/images/2012/mar/06/street-fighter-x-tekken-cosmic-being-comic/ reveals] the creator of Pandora's Box is {{spoiler|[[Capcom Fighting Evolution|Ingrid.]]}}
* [[Capcom vs. Whatever]]
* [[Character Customization]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIpzeZqI93k The Gems System,] which allows players to equip and swap out up to three gems that alter attributes such as attack, speed, defense, the Cross Gauge, Assists, and more. [http://www.gamespot.com/events/tgs-2011/story.html?pid=999533&sid=6335007 Ono even hinted that movesets themselves are customizable.] This changes up the dynamics of possible [[Mirror Match
** You can also customize alt colors for your character. At the time of release, there won't be too many options; but they will release [[Downloadable Content|DLC]] that adds in more colors. There are also special costumes that allow a Street Fighter character to wear a Tekken fighter's outfit and vice versa. For example, Chun-Li has a costume resembling Panda while Kazuya has a Dictator outfit.
* [[Character Exaggeration]]: In ''spades'', particularly on the ''[[Tekken]]'' side.
** Ling Xiaoyu has always been close to Jin Kazama, and ''Tekken 6'' all but confirms that she's in love with him, but in this game, she's a borderline [[Yandere
** Lili is even more of a [[Rich Bitch]] in this game than she is in the ''Tekken'' series, and appears single-mindedly obsessed with style and grace.
** Rolento is single-mindedly driven to start an army, to the point that he considers any [[Worthy Opponent]] part of it whether they realize or not.
Line 102 ⟶ 88:
* [[Counter Attack]]: Features a universal "Alpha Counter" similar to that first seen in ''[[Street Fighter Alpha]]''. King, Asuka, Lili, Steve and Heihachi also have Counters as moves in their arsenal.
* [[Crossover]]: With the antecedent of the [[Action RPG]] [[Strategy RPG]] ''[[Namco X Capcom]]'' ([[My Friends and Zoidberg|and]] some ''[[Infamous (video game series)|In Famous]]'' and ''Doko Demo Issho'' love being thrown in there as well).
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: The Comic-Con trailer had King and Marduk overpowering first Haggar, and then both Poison and Hugo, getting in only one attack each (both sneaky attacks) before losing.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Towards their other [[Capcom vs. Whatever]] games. The Pandora feature (sucking your partner's life force in exchange for a brief surge of power) and the fact that Ono has explicitly said that these two universes vindictively hate one another casts a darker shadow over this game than past crossovers.
Line 112 ⟶ 97:
** From a certain perspective, the ''Tekken'' characters keeping some of the well-known juggles is one.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Rufus and Bob are fighting! Zangief doesn't even bat an eye. Julia clings onto him. He does a massive [[Spit Take]]... ''twice''.
* [[Drunk with Power]]: Some of the quotes the characters say when activating Pandora give off this impression.
* [[Easy Mode Mockery]]: Some of the Assist Gems make some of the techniques in-game much easier. For example, one gem allows fighters to automatically block attacks. Another one changes the combination for special moves (for example, the Hadoken changes from a quarter-circle-forward punch motion, to a down-forward punch motion to a forward punch motion. The tradeoff is that it reduces the effectiveness of attacks.
* [[Epic Fail]]: Capcom releases a patch to fix numerous glitches with the game on May
* [[Excuse Plot]]: An unknown cube crash-lands in the south pole. Researchers find out that the energy of the object is released when people start fighting. Hence, the contenders of the World Warrior and King of Iron Fist Tournaments decide to beat the shit out of each other.
** Taken [[Up to Eleven]] with the [[Downloadable Content]] costume packs. Each outfit comes with a flimsy excuse to justify why one character is dressed up like another.
Line 150 ⟶ 134:
* [[Motif]]: Similar to the brushed ink effect in ''[[Street Fighter IV]]'', ''SFxTK'' has a water-based motif, seen in gameplay when a launcher move is performed. It is also very prominent in the CG trailers for the game, usually seen when a character does something important or impressive.
* [[My Kung Fu Is Stronger Than Yours|My Ninjitsu Is Stronger Than Yours]]: There are 5 characters (Vega, Ibuki, Raven, Yoshimitsu, and in DLC, Guy) who are (or claim to be) Ninjas and they have some choice words about the others in thier victory quotes.
* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]:
** Dan was on the receiving end of one from Kazuya. [[Word of God]] has virtually confirmed that Dan ''died'' from said beatdown.
** Scramble Mode essentially turns matches into an all-out frenzy.
* [[No Kill Like Overkill]]: In Steve and Hwroang's ending. {{spoiler|They face 100 Akumas. 99 of them are ''Shin'' Akumas.}}
* [[Not Even Bothering with the Accent]]: An odd hit and miss example. When voiced in English, all of the European Street Fighter characters speak with the appropriate accent for their nationality - Cammy sounds English, Zangief Russian and Vega (Claw) sounds Spanish etc. However, for the Tekken crew, it's more sporadic - Steve Fox ''does'' have an English accent, but Lili doesn't sound French (as she should, being Monégasque) and in fact has an ''American'' accent, as does Irish Nina Williams. It seems odd that the English voice-work was seemingly quite selective in attributing native accents. Though, in fairness, the English speaking Tekkeners were always like
* [[Order Versus Chaos]]: The main theme of the Ryu vs. Kazuya match-up. In the first trailer, Ryu can be seen meditating in a temple while Kazuya just barges in, covered in darkness.
* [[Public Domain Artifact]]: A variant on Pandora's Box shows up in the game.
Line 161 ⟶ 144:
* [[Power Creep, Power Seep]]: Both sides are somewhat faster and stronger than in their own series. Supposibly, Pandora is strengthening fighters before Pandora mode.
** This isn't even getting into the [[Guest Fighters]] which go in both directions.
* [[Red Baron]]: ''Everyone'', in two different ways. Not only does Capcom list every character with their own unique title on their website (e.g. Chun-Li = "Legs of Justice"), every "canon" team also has its own nickname as well.▼
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: When Pandora mode is activated, the powered character's eyes glow red (in contrast to the rest of their body [[Power Glows|glowing purple]]).
* [[Ship Tease]]: In their ending, {{spoiler|Julia and Bob}}.
Line 167 ⟶ 149:
* [[Shout-Out]]: Check [[Capcom vs. Whatever/Shout Out|the page]].
* [[Shadow Archetype]]: [http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2011/sep/13/old-street-fighter-x-tekken-art-updated-evil-shadows/ An art update] added this to the character art in the lead up to reveal of Pandora Mode.
* [[SNK Boss]]: ''Subverted''. Akuma and Ogre at the end of Arcade Mode are actually relatively tame compared to monsters such as [[Street Fighter III|Gill]], [[Street Fighter IV|Seth]], or [[
▲* [[
* [[Tag Team]]: More in the vein of the ''Tekken Tag Tournament'' games, in that the round ends if one character is KO'd.
** With regards to the trailers, except for five characters,<ref>Cole, Mega Man, Pac-Man, Akuma/Gouki and Ogre</ref>
* [[Teeth-Clenched Teamwork]]: Some of the teams' members dislike their partners, such as Raven towards Yoshimitsu, Nina towards Kazuya, Balrog and Vega between each other, and Juri and M. Bison between each other. {{spoiler|In some of these endings, [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]] ensues}}.
* [[Thematic Theme Tune]]:
Line 177 ⟶ 160:
** Jared Evan's "In Love With You" for the showdown between Rufus and Bob. Yes, the title is ''both'' ironic and inappropriate.
** Rise Against's "From Heads Unworthy" for the showdown between the head of the Mishima Zaibatsu (Jin, as per the storyline of ''Tekken 6'') and Shadaloo (M. Bison/Dictator).
* [[Too Soon]]: BBA Mega Man probably wouldn't have been as controversial if it weren't for [[Mega Man Legends|everything that]] [[Marvel vs. Capcom 3|happened to]] [[wikipedia:Mega Man Universe|the franchise]] in 2011.
* [[Translation Convention]]: A transplant from the ''Tekken'' series, press release and officials videos had the fighters speaking English and Japanese to each other without any problems. In the game proper, save for some characters, players can set up for only one common language, avoiding this entirely.
* [[Tron Lines]]: With the exception of Heihachi, the characters gain them when activating Pandora, which also dyes their skin pitch black, turns their hair white, has their clothes [[Power Glows|give off an eerie purple glow]], gives them [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]] [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]], [[Power Echoes|distorts their voices]], and has what appears to be red orbs marked with kanji (specifically, Akuma's signature 天 symbol) orbit around their bodies.
Line 197 ⟶ 180:
** Somewhat averted with some of the characters (Cole, King, Ogre, Kuma, Pac-Man and Yoshimitsu), who only have one voice track (Cole and Pac-Man only speak English, King with his jaguar sounds, Ogre and Yoshimitsu in their alien languages and Kuma with bear sounds.)
* [[X-Ray Sparks]]: Each character gets one when hit by an electrical attack.
==
{{tropelist|page=Tekken X Street Fighter}}
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Some early animations for Chun-Li and Ryu appeared in a gag development video for ''[[Dream Match Game|Tekken Tag Tournament 2]]'' (with Young Heihachi and Nina in place of Ryu and Chun-Li) posted by Harada.
* [[Trolling Creator]]:
Line 206 ⟶ 189:
** Harada also made a popularity poll for both ''Tekken'' and ''Street Fighter'' characters, stating beforehand that it won't influence the developer team's choices, it is just for "research"... and yet some fans are voting like crazy in hope ''it will'' get their favorite character in; knowing the ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3|MvC3]]'' polls' hype and consequent fiasco, Harada knew what was coming for this poll.
