Fighting Vapors

This is all that exists of Tekken X Street Fighter.  (And all that will ever exist of it.)
With regards to Tekken X Street Fighter, the Tekken team and Harada-san over there haven’t even put together one page of design documents regarding their game yet! They’re so slow… I want to put in all sorts of whatever nods or easter eggs that I can, but just two weeks ago Harada-san called me and said, “Hey… can I have a list of the Street Fighter characters?” And I was like, “What? You’re so slow!” It’ll probably take them six years to come out with their game!

To summarise, Tekken X Street Fighter has not been in development during the past 2+ years since its announcement, is not in development currently, and - mark my words - will not see the light of day, ever.  Given the PR nightmare engulfing Street Fighter X Tekken, this result grows ever more likely.
