Street Fighter and Tekken crossover/mashup revealed at Comic-Con. Videos and Screenshots galore!

See, a video game geek like me gets really excited when you get a crossover of your favourite video game franchises. I'm talking about the Street Fighter and Tekken series. Yes, I remember the times when I was motivated to take swimming lessons as a kid, because a Street Fighter 2 (SF2) arcade cabinet was just beside it. I would look forward to finish my swimming lesson and go and play SF2 for twice as long. Haha. And I remember the days I spent cash just to play Tekken with my friends after school at Jaya Supermarket on the classic Playstation a.k.a PSX. Later on, I even bought a PS2 for RM2000+ just for Tekken 2, and I don't regret it at all.  Ahhh those were the days. It was always Street Fighter OR Tekken since it was always 2D OR 3D.

But now, I just got word that a new mash-up of Street Fighter and Tekken is revealed at Comic-Con. How freaking awesome is that? Ok, please don't mind my video game side. I know its a bit vomit inducing for non-fans when reading about my reaction. The new games (yes, games) will be called Street Fighter X Tekken and Tekken X Street Fighter. Street Fighter X Tekken will be similar to Street Fighter 4 and Super Street Fighter 4 where the graphics are 3D but you fight on a 2d plane, while Tekken X Street Fighter will be similar to Tekken where you fight on a 3D plane. Conclusion? Best of both worlds and the purists can't complain!

Personally, I will get both of them, and get a decent arcade joystick to go with it. I miss using Blanka and Fei Long to annoy people since I sold my Street Fighter 4. I still do play Tekken on the PSP though, haven't grabbed Tekken 6 for my 360 yet. Maybe I should.

Check out the press release, video and pics after the jump!

Wow, its half a year already.

Hello there, I'm bem69, nice to meet you. I used to blog here often, but life caught up to me. Cough. Hi again folks, its been awhile. Like, I haven't been posting anything worth reading at all. Its more of like driveby blogging, where I blog and run. Enough babbling...

Well, you see, I have been pretty busy at the moment, considering I have a new job, which is not so new already. I haven't had the time to do a lot of things and I'm pretty burned out by the end of the day to do much thinking.

I'm not complaining though, far from that. I'm thankful that I have a job. In the industry that I want. Design, that is.

To those who care, just wanna say I'm still alive and kickin'. 2010, so far, is a gr-r-rreat year for me. I've accomplished a lot in terms of my personal goals, thank you to the Almighty, Alhamdulillah. As you know, I'm expecting a child, sometime in November, and its a boy. So its gonna be a mini-me. I'm quite excited to see my boy, anxious and excited at the same time.

I've managed to quit smoking, which is one of the best decisions in my life, and I'm still quite amazed that reading a book was all I needed to do. Well, not really, I read about the law of attraction previously, the book called "The Secret", and it worked wonders for me. The book I read to stop smoking was "Allen Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking" and it had some elements that relate to the law of attraction. I stopped smoking just like that, in a day. Its crazy how powerful your mind can be when you're in control. (and how powerful it can be when you're not in control). Gonna be 6 months smoke-free in a couple of days. I even lost 6kgs by taking the Special-K challenge just to prove that I will not gain weight after stopping cigarettes.

My job? Prayers and law of attraction brought me to the job that I visualised. I wanted to work in the design industry, I wanted a comfortable workplace and I wanted it to be in a specific location. I didn't know how, but I got exactly that. Just had to think positive, which is easier said than done. Alhamdulillah, God-wiiling, I have a job in an ad agency. I had some trouble coping for the first few weeks, since I was out of the industry for the past 3 years, but its all good when I got used to it. The experience I get there is tremendous. I learn A LOT of things there which will prove useful for me in the future. Its tiring but I'm sure its worth it in the long run.

I do have other things in my wish list though, like double or triple my income ;) so I can support my wife and kid(s) better, a beautiful house of my own and a new car. I think the Kia (Naza) Forte, black or white, would be a perfect family sedan and the best bang for your buck. I'll figure out a way to get that. I will.

I guess that's that, its already 1.10AM, its just a brief recap of my life in 2010, so I hope I didn't bore you too much by sharing my achievements in 2010. I'll try and find more time for blogging. Aha, I guess I'll have to put this in my wishlist - To be more organised with my time management.

Til then. Adios!
