As Street Fighter X Tekken was made by Capcom (with Namco being involved more in the licensing of the Tekken cast), the gameplay is based on the 2D gameplay of Street Fighter, with projectile moves such as the Hadouken, as opposed to the Tekken series. The game is the product of a partnership between Namco and Capcom that previously produced the role-playing game Namco × Capcom. In addition to the game's multiplayer modes, the game also features a single-player Story mode with a plot revolving around a mysterious object called the 'Pandora'.
In the game, each player selects two characters respectively and face other as duos in tag team fighting matches, with the objective to knock out one of the members from the opposing team (deplete the opponent's health). The game features characters from both the Street Fighter franchise and Namco's Tekken series. Street Fighter X Tekken (pronounced 'Street Fighter Cross Tekken') is a crossover fighting game developed by Capcom and released in March 2012 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, in May for Microsoft Windows and in October for the PlayStation Vita.
