VIDEO: Two Men Join "Street Fighter X Tekken," Mega and Pac?!?

Major characters from Capcom and Namco Bandai added to the roster

January 26, 2012 6:26pm PST (1/26/12)

The official Street Fighter X Tekken blog announced two new characters, but they're not ones you would expect to see duking it out with Street Fighter and Tekken fighters:

The Japanese blog presents readers with a nugget of Mega Man knowledge, namedly that he is called Mega Man overseas. You know his Japanese name is Rockman, right? They're using the Western name because the character that appears in Street Fighter X Tekken is based on this no doubt familiar and strange box art:

"Argh, but why did it end up being this kind of design? It's a complete mystery," the blog post laments.

Check out the latest trailer, which shows a bunch of the PS3/Vita exclusive characters, including Mega Man and Pac-man:

The Capcom blog has another video showing off Mega Man and Pac-man's special moves.

My God, I love you, Capcom. No really, keep this up, I'm kind of fed up with the Mega Man fanbase at this point.

I'm honestly a little disappointed that I HAVE to buy this for PS3 so I can do a review. I kind of like being able to play my fighting games online. :(

1/27/12 by ImXero

Hm. Why can't you play it online for the PS3?

1/26/12 by kyotanahashi

this is funny. and i thought Shigeru Miyamoto is the king of trolls in video games. Capcom just moves up a step.

-waits for the butthurt-

you call that megaman? some old fat dude, and dnt be replying saying thats first and original megaman etc, CAPCOM IS JUST A HUGE DISAPOINTMENT AND A LET DOWN since mvc3 onwards capcom went downhill, who would play that ugly fat megaman

1/26/12 by ducky69247

He totally looks fat! I'm so confused...

That is Bad box art Megaman from the american box art. I'm just as mad as you are right now though, a lot of the fan base is.

Get trolled!

they've been let downs since before that. they cancelled MML3.

Dang... they could've kept his regular young boy look. I mean, are they trying to appeal to Westerners or something? This approach wouldn't work... it'd probably do the opposite...

1/27/12 by tycho0042

it's a joke at america's expense. back before anime and such had such a mainstream(or at least more so then back in the 80's) appearance we had the notion that CLEARLY we could throw on anything that looked more western and it would clearly be better

megaman looks like an 40 yr old virgin living his mother's basement cosplaying as megaman

1/26/12 by vodavid

WTF WHY DID THEY USE THAT MEGAMAN......... DAMN.

1/26/12 by Tyenkrovy

Mega Man looks absolutely ridiculous. The rest are cool, though.

1/26/12 by fallingstar_319

>Megman

>sees design

NO!

1/26/12 by Nashayla

Pac-Man? What?

1/26/12 by shadofrak

YES PLEASE
and i don't think this megaman is a completely awful thing, he actually looks like a pretty cool character

1/26/12 by CalcSwamiS

That Mega Man is the best Mega Man ever, screw you guys

Is it too much to ask that a game called "Street Fighter X Tekken" only have characters from the Street Fighter and Tekken franchises? Using the data space and production resources for these guest characters rather than more SF or Tekken characters is such a waste.

I haven't been keeping track of things closely, so if there were people in the Mega Man fanbase asking for him in this game, they got what they deserved. It's too bad the rest of us are saddled with it as well, instead of another character from the two franchises that this game brings together.

I'm hoping that Capcom at least has the decency to offer an option in-game to disable the appearance of these guest characters. Cole, Kuro, Toro,Mega Man, Pac-Man are all characters I hope to never see when I play this game.
