Capcom marry Street Fighter and Tekken in an ambitious crossover with a gem system and two-on-two fights. The idea is brilliant, but netcode lags, microtransactions irritate fans, and the result remains an entertaining crossover better enjoyed locally than online during its troubled early months.

Is Street Fighter X Tekken still worth playing in 2026?
A fighting crossover from Capcom, Street Fighter X Tekken gathers the rosters of the two great series in a two on two system built on tag relays and Gems that modulate abilities. The generous cast, the depth of the tag system and the joy of seeing Ryu and Kazuya clash win over versus fans. The controversial Gem system and a criticised content policy tarnished its reception. A good fighting game for fans of team versus and of the Street Fighter and Tekken worlds.
