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.

This looks like a great game, and the addition of these characters is just going to add to the pure awesomeness.

$20? No thanks, I'll just wait for the "Super" or "Ultimate" version of Street Fighter X Tekken. That's what Capcom is known for.
by MentalYinYang Friday, July 06, 2012 at 08:17 PM

Meh. Expensive and nothing new.
by ZiggyStarbuck Friday, July 06, 2012 at 08:22 PM

Oh, were these the ones that were already on the disc? No thanks, Capcom, I'll pass.
by The Dovakhin who is scared of dragons Friday, July 06, 2012 at 08:23 PM

i wonder if they are already in the disc...just jk.
by angel95-_- Friday, July 06, 2012 at 08:27 PM

i never would have guessed....but the dlc sharing is pretty cool
by The Brain Friday, July 06, 2012 at 08:33 PM

Bryan and Blanka!
by musicalham Friday, July 06, 2012 at 08:34 PM

20 dollars is a lot for some characters that could have been on the disc to begin with. Blanka for me is a staple in the Street fighter series.

After that huge S***storm all of this caused, they still think they can even charge for it?
by Opfer der Seele Friday, July 06, 2012 at 08:43 PM

$20 for a couple of characters? Seems pretty expensive to me.
by GL4DOS Friday, July 06, 2012 at 09:07 PM

Yeah, so, WHERE ARE THE TWO NEW PLAYSTATION ALL-STARS CHARACTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
by My name is not Joe Friday, July 06, 2012 at 09:49 PM

Wait no fei-long??? *** that! No way in hell im buying this now.
by linkin park forever Friday, July 06, 2012 at 10:12 PM

I was think about getting this game, but i would feel cheated without all the character
by Max Friday, July 06, 2012 at 10:25 PM

Way too much money for some characters
by SanXtioN Friday, July 06, 2012 at 10:26 PM

no thanks, on disk DLC is a deal breaker. I understand money is needed to fund a company but half ass DLC like this is not worth it.
by Arnulfo Hermes Friday, July 06, 2012 at 10:27 PM

Hey! Is this coming out for the PC too?!
by WudUKindly(o)A Friday, July 06, 2012 at 10:37 PM

I'm so upset with Capcom. :( I wonder if anybody from Capcom reads these comments?
by ZGamerF Friday, July 06, 2012 at 10:53 PM

Oh Capcom.....such a silly greedy company.
