Street fighter x Tekken is 75% off on amazon

$7.5 for the 'normal' edition and $15 for the 'complete pack' which includes 12 additional characters.

Any of these is worth it? I wasn't way too impressed with Street Fighter 4's online play abilities.

If that's what you're concerned about, SFxT's online capabilities are notoriously far worse.

Heard it was a really bad port.....the online is apparently untouchable because of lag, stick with SF4 Arcade I heard.

I bought it last week(?) on Steam, for me it's all a bit "meh". Never really got SF anyway, probably because I'm awful at it. It just seems it rewards you for spamming combos rather than any actual tactics, but maybe I just don't get the timing. There does seem to be too few moves for me, you're just pulling off the same one again and again.

IMO Street Fighter hit its glory around the time SF Alpha 3 came out, since then its been meh.

By the way you describe it, I'd say you'd be WAY better off with SF4. Combos are generally half as long, the pace is a bit slower so you can actually react to most of what's happening and you get the focus attack, that allows you to get in when you "know" what the opponent is going to do.

I wasn't really into fighting games before SF4, but these things really pulled me in. If you get the chance, give a try to the peg-leg edition, I think it's worth it. :)

If you find SF4's online unimpressive, you should stay away from SFxT at all costs, unless they pulled out a miracle in the last year.

I really wanted to play it coop with some friends I already used to play SF4 with, but we had to give up: it was just impossible to have even an "ok" match.

My experience with SF4 is in line with the other online games: a little bit of lag normally (which you quickly get used to) with ocassional dips into "omg why?! T_T". I'd say that of all the matches I've lost, less than 1% was due to lag, while for SFxT a good 1/3 of all matches I couldn't really rely on where the opponents "appeared" to be.

Pity 'cause overall the game was fun to play. I'd say it's pirating material, to be played offline with friends.

I didnt try online yet, though everyone is saying its a disaster xD

Judging from singleplayer the game would struggle to be worth that price. Sf4 was so much better in many points.
