Tekken X Street Fighter is Currently 'Pending', Development is at 30%

The Tekken x Street Fighter project is still alive, somewhere in the depths of Bandai Namco Entertainment's studio offices. While the current priorities for the Tekken team are focusing on the ongoing support for Tekken 7, the vision for the 3D cross-over between the two franchises is still in a comatose state; the game has not been seen at all since it's announcement back at San Diego Comic-Con of 2010. We've gotten piecemeal bits of info about it before but the latest for TxSF comes from Harada during the live stream for Kuro Kuro's year-end Tekken drinking party. In his words, Tekken x Street Fighter is still 'Pending', which is pretty much another way of saying that the title is 'on hold' in terms of priority. The development of Tekken x Street Fighter currently sits at the 30% mark so there is still a long way to go. While reading and answering the chat, Harada also briefly spoke about some other topics. For those asking about a third Season Pass for Tekken 7, he answered that it could happen, depending on the sales of the previous Season Passes. On the potential of a Switch release of Tekken 7, that is dependent on the demand from fans so let them know if you're interested in seeing that happen. If you want to check out the full sit-down and chat session with Harada from the party, you can find the archive over on Kuro Kuro's Twitch channel.

Knee's Tekken 7 Tier List in Deathmatches

[Click to expand image] -- [Click to see Knee's Tier List for Tournaments]

I don't think anyone else on this planet is more qualified to make a deathmatch focused tier list for Tekken 7 right now. The image you see above is the conclusion to a tier list brainstorm Knee did with Kuro Kuro while in Japan recently. Considering the nature of the list, you can expect that it is primarily focused on characters that perform in a long deathmatch setting so these listings don't necessarily reflect his thoughts on the characters in a tournament BO3 format. Kuro Kuro uploaded a video of him and Knee in a tiny computer room and during the process you can hear him mentioning at some points whether or not a player has managed to get high ranks with certain characters so there's also that to factor in. For those curious and want to see the list as it is being made, you can catch Kuro Kuro's latest video upload of the tier list.
