Street Fighter X Tekken Gets 12 New DLC Characters

by Ben Reeves on Jul 06, 2012 at 02:52 PM

Street Fighter X Tekken’s roster gets a boost when twelve new fighters become available for download at the end of July.

The new entrants include:

From the Street Fighter side: Blanka, Cody, Dudley, Elena, Guy, Sakura

And from the Tekken side: Alisa Bosconovitch, Bryan Fury, Christie Monteiro, Jack-X, Lars Alexandersson, Lei Wulong

The new characters kick the roster up to 50 total combatants. This twelve-character pack releases on PS3 and Xbox 360 on July 31 for $20.00 or 1600 Microsoft points.

The downloadable characters coincide with a patch that should help balance the game. The patch will include:

  • Ryu, Ken and Akuma's Tatsumaki Sempuu kyaku have all had their hitboxes reduced in size
  • Rolento's jabs addressed!
  • Xiaoyu's crouching hard kick phoenix loops
  • Raven crouching HP loops
  • Auto-block gem has been re-balanced

The first retail run of the PS Vita version of Street Fighter X Tekken will include two free download codes that allow owners to transfer DLC content to their PS3, since all DLC can be shared between PS3 and PS Vita. Check out Capcom's Blog for more details about the patch.
