Street Fighter X Tekken Scramble Mode Demo Video
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to take traditional fighting game characters and put them in the frantic style of Super Smash Bros., wonder no longer.
One of the crazier new game modes in Street Fighter X Tekken is called Scramble Mode. Rather than use the otherwise standard “tag” style configuration, this mode puts all four characters (two per team) on the screen at the same time. From what I can gather, the two team members share a single health bar and, yes, the gem system can come into play too.
I think this might be fun for casuals, but I’m not sure how well it’d hold up for hardcore tournament play. What do you think?

Soul Calibur V Gameplay Debut Trailer
Namco has teased at this for a while, so it’s good to see that they finally have a trailer for Soul Calibur V. It’s been a long time since Soul Calibur IV was originally released, so the series is definitely due for an update. However, really what’s new with the series? Based on this video, it could be just Soul Calibur 4.5… The use of ultra combo-like finishers is pretty sweet though.
