The general fighting
mechanics are as fast, frantic and combo - heavy as ever, but Infinite swaps out
tag team assists in favour of letting players call their second character whenever the time is right — mid-air, mid-combo or even mid-animation — to pull off devastating attack strings or execute precisely timed finishers, all with flashy animations and
battle cries which do justice to the unlikely cast of comic - book heroes and video game icons assembled.
Street Fighter X Tekken lets the likes of Ryu and Ken duke it out with Tekken icons such as Kazuya and Heihachi in 2 - on - 2
tag battles, brilliantly blending the latter game's 3D - fighting
mechanics with classic 2D Street Fighter gameplay.
