Those aren't two interpretations of the same piece of news; if Game Informer are to be believed, then two fighting games are currently in development, both pitting the stars of Namco against the stars of Capcom.

[Dudebro]

If this is true I'll finally be able to stomp those weak little Capcom characters with Ganryu-

Nice! I wasn't really into those SNK vs Capcom. Then again, I never really played those too much. But this looks interesting.

[Slime Slayer]

Capcom and Namco fighting games play so differently, this is either fake, or one of those companies is gonna have to sacrifice the gameplay of their respective series.

[joz]

Good point Steven. After thinking about it, I'm gonna say it's a fake. Sucks but oh well.

[Dudebro]

If it's real the whole projectile thing is gonna be a sticking point. How do you make it fair when Tekken/Soul Caliber Characters don't have them?

[Slime Slayer]

Plus Capcom characters just fly all over the screen, where as the Namco games have a more realistic physics engine.

[Dudebro]

Well from what I read it said both companies would make their own versions. Maybe Capcom will make the Tekken/SC crew go all Crouching Tiger and make their moves have projectiles of some kind? I can't imagine how Namco would balance SF characters though. Removing high flying and projectiles would kill some of the characters.

[Demon-Mask]

The problem I have with the idea is that Capcom tends to make 2D fighting games with projectiles and characters that can jump their height, while Namco tends to make 3D fighting games with very few projectiles and characters with a more realistic ability to jump.

But if it is true:
I can't wait to kick Ryu's ass as Heihachi.

[samejamesbond]

Well it isn't too far fetched:

But I've been wanting a Namco vs. Capcom fighting game ever since I heard of
Namco x Capcom. An RPG TBS is nice, but I'd rather let my fists do the talking.

[Dudebro]

How did that game play? RPG TBS sounds awesome but I've never heard of that game until now.

[samejamesbond]

Here's some gameplay with Strider, Ken, and Mike Haggar:

[Dudebro]

So it's another JP only game? My god I'm getting so sick of that.

[samejamesbond]

So it's another JP only game? My god I'm getting so sick of that.

Saddly yes, we may never see a game like that again.

Just look at the awesome character list:
Namco × Capcom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namco_×_Capcom#Character_list)

[Dudebro]

Damn that game is probably epic. Without even playing it I know I'd love it. Maybe in twenty years or so RU will get it and I can try it. :(

[samejamesbond]

Hopefully.

But my mind would explode of they made these games.

[StarfoxFan2009]

I wouldn't mind crushing Zangief with Eddy or King. Let's hope it turns out to be true

[samejamesbond]

Not Mike Haggar?

[fenrir1887]

I'd try and pit Haggar against Zangief or even against guys like King or Bryan Fury.

[Tails]

That game looks so good.. :(

[CatalystiCam]

pfft, we need seahawks creation instead

I just had to broadcast it seahawk :p

[Slime Slayer]

The just featured the story on ep daily, (it's on g4 tech tv for those who don't know) and they said that it's going to use a capcom engine. They did also state that game informer was the source, so so far it's still just the one source.

[Demon-Mask]

They are using the Capcom engine, that could be cool, but they'd have to completely redo the move sets of the Namco characters.

[Dudebro]

If this happens I bet they leave out a lot of the better Tekken characters to make it work. The only other option is to butcher them and give them projectiles or big flashy attacks.

[Demon-Mask]

That wouldn't be cool, I can't imagine giving a character like Heihachi projectile attacks. There is a move where he mirrors the motion to do a projectile attack, but there is no projectile and it is just a good close range move.

[Dudebro]

Heihachi also has a dragon punch but it doesn't go flying up in the sky or light on fire.

[samejamesbond]

They could have Eddy Gordo and Elena go at it to see who's the best Capoiera master.

[Dudebro]

I think Eddy would win because he's designed to move in a 3D environment(and he's mega cheap).

[samejamesbond]

I think Eddy would win because he's designed to move in a 3D environment(and he's mega cheap).

Yeah, but NvC is in 2D, making Elena a better bet.
She was easily one of the coolest Street Fighter III characters.

[Dudebro]

She was easily one of the coolest Street Fighter III characters.
I guess not, I don't remember the name at all.

[samejamesbond]

I guess not, I don't remember the name at all.

Her:

[Dudebro]

While I do approve of her outfit I still don't remember her.

SDCC: Street Fighter X Tekken Announced - Xbox 360 News at IGN (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/110/1108350p1.html)

From what has been announced, Capcom is developing one using the Street Fighter IV engine, and Namco is developing one using the Tekken 6 engine.

[samejamesbond]

Here's the debut trailer:

And here's a gamaplay trailer:
YouTube- Street Fighter X Tekken 'Ryu, Chun Li vs Kazuya, Nina' Gameplay

You know what would be the most awesome Tekken character vs Street Fighter Character?

Kuma vs. Zangief, that alone would make me buy this game.

[Dudebro]

Wow. That Kazuya vs Ryu fight was epic as hell. I'm sold.

[StarfoxFan2009]

Another epic fight would be Bryan vs Sagat

[Demon-Mask]

Wow. That Kazuya vs Ryu fight was epic as hell. I'm sold.
I guess they didn't need to mess up Kazuya, his fighting style is pretty much the same, I'd like to see what they'd do with Heihachi.

[Dudebro]

Well from the look of that fight they can put any of them into it. My only concern was the lack of projectile thing but it looks like Kazuya was able to dash through it or under it.

[samejamesbond]

It does look that way, but there are some characters I'm sure they're putting in that don't use
projectiles. I mean, how else are you going to have a Marshall Law - Fei-Long fight?

Or Rufus and Bob fight?

[Dudebro]

I hope they don't put Bob in this game. If it's like other VS games it won't have the whole roster anyways. To ruin it with such a horrible character would turn me off to it.

[samejamesbond]

Bob was fine to me, but we need those epic match ups.

Like Dan and Yoshimitsu is going to be awesome.

[CrispyChicken]

Wow. That Kazuya vs Ryu fight was epic as hell. I'm sold.

I agree. That fight was awesome. Most likely gonna end up getting this.

[Dudebro]

I just hope they focus on better Tekken characters, ones that have been with the series for a while.

[Demon-Mask]

They should definitely include all of the characters that have been around since the very beginning of Tekken: Heihachi, Nina, some variant of Jack, Paul, King and so on.

[Dudebro]

Well they already showed Nina so we know she's in. They need to have King in there for sure, he'd murder Zangief but it'd still be cool. If they leave out Ganryu I might cry, for serious.

[Demon-Mask]

I wouldn't cry over the loss of Ganryu, but I would cry if there was no Heihachi or Devil. Devil would actually fit in with the SF characters because he shoots lasers out of his eyes.
Maybe having Jinpachi would be cool because of his mega-beam and stuff.

Steve Fox and Bruce Irvin are both necessary, Steve would be the balance to Balrog, and Bruce is just kind of cool.

[Dudebro]

I wouldn't cry over the loss of Ganryu,
Then you don't know what you're missing. Ganryu is badass.

[Demon-Mask]

But if it came down to it, I'd rather have Heihachi.
