The core advantage of the Hit Box is that you have more deliberate control over your game, helping you make fewer mistakes in a match. Random execution mistakes are significantly decreased when you use your entire hand for motions, rather than your wrist or thumb.
Your inputs are naturally faster and your reaction time is improved by utilizing the sensitive Sanwa buttons for your movement. Utilizing the sensitivity of the buttons allows for moves to come out in the minimum amount of frames possible.
The deliberate control not only yields higher consistency with your inputs, but it allows you to push the realm of what is possible in a fighter. There are many Hit Box only techniques and shortcuts that you can take advantage of to help secure the win. You can get tons of fantastic tips on our video page to see just how far you can push this controller.
Hello, everyone. My name is Kelvin Smith (PSN: kev302smith), and I stand to say that Street Fighter X Tekken has personally changed my life as a member of the fighting game community. To this day since May of 2013, I represent this game on the PSN side (90% as a die-hard Vita player, 10% as a PS3 gameplay recorder and film-maker) as my goal is to establish/continue my personal legacy with two things: my only team of Law/Cole, and my love for Pandora. As this year marks the fifth-year anniversary since its release, I would like to send a mass invitation to help SFxT become remastered for next-generation consoles.
There has been increasing conversation from past and present players, including legendary fighters involved in SFV and the Capcom Pro Tour, reflecting on their experiences on SFxT and their wishes to play again. Recently, the FGC has experienced the return of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 to next-generation consoles and, to much surprise, the up-coming revival of Street Fighter 2 for the Nintendo Switch. While SFxT is only marred by criticism of the gem concept, the DLC controversy, and, from personal experience, the (dis)advantages of Cross-Play, it was a fascinating game where two worlds met in a advanced gameplay environment compared to Street Fighter V. This has led to many players and groups/clans having faith that this game has a possibility of returning.
On a personal level, SFxT was the 1st Street Fighter game that I began to take serious casually as well as competitively and socially, where I have met and sparred with many strong players on both sides of PSN, including the current 3-time EVO champion, Esuta. The community is insightful in terms of, through social media and YouTube, sharing substantial amounts of information as well as displaying their love of the game with various sparring sets and/or compilation videos of combos or tag concepts in the game (Cross Assault, Pandora, etc.). The competition, currently rather small, was and is always fierce, specifically on the Xbox side where numerous online tournaments, such as the ones hosted by PxG, consisted of the deadly tournament players themselves. SFxT still has a presence in EVO, Final Round, and other events as side-tournaments hosted by loyal fans of the game.
The importance of SFxT, whether by its flaws or its features, is still relevant to past and present players in the fighting game community. The excitement and innovation that was showcased could still be present, if not dramatically increased if given an opportunity to return. The strong love that I, along many others, have for this game remains to this day, which is why I am asking you Capcom: With consideration, would you PLEASE remaster Street Fighter X Tekken for the next generation consoles?
I would personally say that this is the make or break point of the completion. Everything else after this point is just a grind, but Mission Mode is actually rather challenging at some parts, even for those experienced with Fighting Games. If you are a beginner, then you will probably need some help to make it through some of the later Missions, and even some of the earlier ones (the difficulty seems inconsistent). Here I will try to make a detailed walkthrough of each Mission in the game, as well as link to video guides for some Missions to display alternate methods. There are only a fair few that I would say need some detailed explanation, with the rest being self explanatory.
The same strategy from the Arcade also applies here. Zangief's 360 + Any Kick is a very effective means of clearing most of the required tasks, but there are some other tools that will compliment alongside it. In previous iterations of Street Fighter, Zangief had a very spammable move called 'Double Lariat'. This move was, and still is, inputted using Triple Punch (LB) and would fool the majority of the AI; unfortunately, as the formula is slightly different here, the AI doesn't fall for this move as much. Some characters will let you consistently attack them in a corner with this move, but the majority will counter. Nevertheless, this works as a nice backup, or a 'Panic Move' if the AI starts getting too close, or if you need to knock down your opponent to start the Grab Spam.
Another tool to be taken noticed of, is Zangief's 'Banishing Flat', performed using Zigzag + Any Punch (refer to the 'Hints and Tips' part of the Walkthrough if this input is not familiar to you), which works as a very effective method of closing in on your opponent.
With all of these assets, the Missions should provide only a slight challenge as long as you stay calm. There are some Gems that can make some tasks easier, and I will list these as we go along. I have also included the character(s) that I feel you should play as to have an easier time; if I have only listed one character, then it means that your partner does not matter and it is down to personal preference.
Important Note: There is a gem called 'Super Easy Inputs', which changes the Input for most moves of your character to be a lot easier; I personally do not recommend you use this Gem unless I've specified, but if you are struggling you can revert back to Gem Customisation and equip it.
The first Mission kicks off with a relatively easy task; you must defeat your opponent using only Normal Moves. You would be best to pick any team that you are familiar with, but in case you are stuck for choice, I recommend Ken and Ryu as their Heavy Kick (RT) is very powerful. You can jump at the opponent and press RT, followed by Down RT as you land; using this method I often found that Balrog would catch me out of the air with a Headbutt, so in the long run it might be simpler to rely on Sweeps instead.
Hold the Analogue Stick in a Downwards Diagonal direction (Left or Right depending on which way you are facing) and press RT whenever you see Balrog begin to start a move. After completing your first mission, you will unlock the following:
Since the attacks that are spammable with Zangief are all Special Moves, you can follow that strategy to get through this very quickly. If you struggle performing the 360's on the left stick, you can equip the 'Easy Input' Gem in Gem Customisation but with some practise the Stick Motion shouldn't be any problem.
This is a strange mission as it does not actually matter if you KO the opponent, as long as you fill the quota for a 15 hit combo. The hardest part of completing this is actually starting the combo, which in retrospective isn't really that challenging either; Rolento has very easy string of attacks using three Heavy Patriot Circles that is simply - Quarter Circle Forward + Heavy Punch (RB), Quarter Circle Forward + Heavy Punch (RB), Quarter Circle Forward + Heavy Punch (RB). This string alone will net you a large number of hits, but once the last hit of the Third Patriot Circle connects, press your tag button (Y+B by default) to call out Ken. Wait a second, then just before your Opponent is going to hit the ground, perform a Heavy Shoryuken (Zigzag + Heavy Punch (RB).
You must defeat the original four Bosses of Street Fighter 2 in order, with each one having twice as much health as you. This isn't nearly as hard as it sounds, as the regular Zangief strategy works just fine, but takes a little longer. All of the characters can be tricked using the Atomic Suplex strategy, but make use of your Double Lariats also for whenever the enemy is not behaving,
For this, only attacks that are Counters will deal damage. A Counter is performed when you attack the opponent during the Startup of their own move. One strategy for this is to pick Ryu and keep Air Heavy Kicking and distant Hadokening and hope that you happen to catch Dhalism off guard; the strategy that I found most useful is the one in the video below. Pick Dhalism, and rely on his Yoga-Spear move (Down + Any Kick).
Similar to many other 'Defeat your Opponents' missions, except this time you have to face off against five teams of just girls. Same strategy works here with abusing Atomic Suplex in a corner, with the occasional Double Lariat if you start to lose control.
Super Arts are the only form of attack that will cause damage in this mission, so pick someone with a projectile Super Art, such as Ryu. For the purpose of this walkthrough, we're going to pick Ryu; as soon as the game begins, use your Super Art (Quarter Circle Forward + Triple Punch (LB)) to either catch the opponent, or deal a small amount of chip damage. You don't have to really think about when you are going to use your Super Art's, as you have Infinite Metre, and your Projectile Super Art should keep the AI away from you anyway.
This is a somewhat easier version of one of the later missions for beating four Grab Characters, except in this one, you must defeat 3 teams of Grab Characters. The AI isn't too advanced at this point, so Zangief's Atomic Suplex will render them more or less immobilised. Don't charge for too long, as a very common tactic for Grab Characters is to use a grab immediately upon Wakeup, which will cancel your Special Move.
