Street Fighter X Tekken: secret new characters leak
Street Fighter X Tekken will for the first time bring together characters from two of the best fighting franchises on Xbox 360 and PS3 next month. We’re now looking forward to its arrival even more, after four more characters were leaked ahead of their official reveal. Tekken’s Jin and Ogre will be joined by Street Fighter’s M. Bison and Akuma.
The four Street Fighter X Tekken characters first appeared on a Taiwanese gaming site, that had posted images of the characters, along with instructions on how to perform their signature special moves.

The images were soon taken down, however the guys from fighting game fansite Shoryuken managed to get hold of the images themselves, publishing them for Street Fighter X Tekken fans to gaze at and get excited for the year’s most-anticipated fighting game.
Although it has to be said, the reveal of M.Bison is hardly a surprise, given his appearance in pretty much every Street Fighter game. The same goes for Akuma. But it’s always good to know that both Street Fighter stalwarts are finally confirmed.
Street Fighter X Tekken is one of many fighting games vying for attention in 2012 alongside the likes of SoulCalibur V and the forthcoming Dead or Alive 5. Street Fighter X Tekken will, for the first time let Tekken and Street Fighter characters duke it out in the same game.
Unlike the Xbox version of Street Fighter X Tekken, the PS3 edition includes exclusive characters: Cole, Mega Man, Kuro and Toro. A handheld version will also release on the PS Vita, going toe-to-toe with rival fighting game Ultimate Vs. Capcom 3.
