Street Fighter X Tekken Vita Version Gets its Chance to Shine,
Ah, alternate outfits/costumes. Where would modern fighting games be without you?
The Vita release of Street Fighter X Tekken is nearly upon us and Capcom has released several new trailers to show off just how well the game runs on Sony’s handheld. Also released today was confirmation that a major rebalance for the game ala SSFIV AE 2012 is in the works and will arrive for the all versions of the game before the end of the year is out. This update will be completely free. A partial list of the changes follows, along with the three new trailers for the Vita version of the game, below with Capcom promising more to come as the current plan is for every character in the game to receive some form of alteration and/or tweak.

Hm, no announced changes for characters I play. Those being Juri and Hwoarang mainly, with some Raven. I was looking at picking up a couple more characters just before I stopped last, one of which has a couple of changes on there (Julia), but I never got very far experimenting with her before Persona 4 Arena came out, and I haven’t touched another fighting game since that happened.
I’ll be curious to see some of the system changes in change. Apparently their solution to the game’s frequent time-outs was to make red health recover slower. Which isn’t a bad idea, but I fear it may be too little.
