At a recent Street Fighter X Tekken tourney in Taiwan, a slew of cosplayers showed up, bringing the iconic fighters to life. This isn't a first for Capcom—and Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono once again got in on the act and dressed up as Chun-Li! He's such a great Chun-Li.

Lots of game companies embrace fandom. Few game makers embrace fandom—and talented players—like this. Kayo Satoh was also on hand for the event. Kayo is a top-ranked Crimson Viper player—and a solid Viper cosplayer to boot. She's also a famous model and mainstream celebrity in Japan, making her, perhaps, the country's most famous gaming talent?

Have a look at the other cosplayers.

Note: This was part of the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary tournament in Taiwan. It included Street Fighter X Tekken, Super Street Fighter 4 AE 2012, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo and Street Fighter 3 Third Strike (more on website EventHubs).

The first release of downloadable content for Street Fighter X Tekken's PC version has been delayed—on Steam. If you use Games For Windows Live, you could get it on Friday, says Capcom. What's the holdup? "An unforeseen error with the Valve submission process," according to the Capcom-Unity blog. The pack should release early this week.

SFxT DLC Now Available on Games for Windows Live, Coming Soon to Steam [Capcom-Unity]

A dozen new fighters in Street Fighter X Tekken will go on sale July 31, Capcom said yesterday at EVO 2012. It'll cost 1,600 Microsoft Points/$19.99 to unlock them from the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 disc where they reside.

Now, those with a PS Vita may still wish to wait, as its version of Street Fighter X Tekken will offer the 12 additional fighters, plus all of the costume swaps for the 38 others on the main roster, for free. All DLC can be shared between PS Vita and PS3 versions of the game.

The 12 new fighters were originally planned to release later this year after the PS Vita version arrives Oct. 2.

What do you get? Well, the roster includes Blanka, Sakura, Guy, Cody, Dudley, Elena, Jack, Bryan Fury, Alisa, Lars, Lei and Christie. Anyone who registered as a competitor at EVO (which you can watch live, right here) gets all of this stuff for free, too.

A rebalancing patch will also roll out (for free, of course) on the same date. It includes a hitbox size reduction for Ryi, Ken, and Akuma's Tatsumaki Sempuu kyaku, and addresses for Rolento's jabs, Xiaoyu's crouching hard kick phoenix loops and Raven's crouching HP loops. The auto-block gem also has been re-balanced.

"I know the 12 DLC characters have been a contentious topic since they were discovered on the disc, but your reactions have been heard," said Brelston over on Capcom-Unity. "We can cite our reasons why they were on the disc all day - compatability for all players, save HD space, download bandwidth etc - but in the end you have to hear what the community has to say. The dev teams are listening, and promise to incorporate that feedback into future titles - fighting or otherwise."

That tech demo we saw of the Street Fighter X Tekken crossover running on an iPad earlier this month becomes a real boy, as Capcom shrinks Ryu, Nina, Chun-Li and Kazuya down until they fit inside iOS devices.

Street Fighter X Tekken Mobile features the same great fighting action of the console version, only without the pesky disc for everyone to get upset over. The controls are revamped to work with a touch screen, of course, because otherwise this would just be a video that would make us cry.

The four confirmed characters can be found hidden in the initial paragraph of this article. Street Fighter X Tekken Mobile will be available this summer for iPhone 4 or better, iPad 2 or better and fourth generation iPod Touches.

Here's tech demo footage of Street Fighter X Tekken for the iOS. No word if (and when) this is coming out. It's just a tech demo.

Capcom Is Thinking About [SG Cafe]

In updating the console versions of Street Fighter X Tekken to fix a few bugs, Capcom has accidentally introduced a new one, which completely breaks the game. Whoops.

Anyone updating to 1.04 and using Rolento's knife to attack a projectile will find that the results are not exactly desirable, in that it locks the game up, requiring a restart.

Bookies are now taking bets on what breaks when Capcom tries to fix this one. And by bookies, I mean me.

Capcom has taken heavy fire from gamers upset with the publisher's tendency to ship some of its games with on-disc downloadable content. Physical copies of games like Dragon's Dogma and Street Fighter X Tekken ship with content that you can only access if you dish out extra for the privilege.

Capcom Senior Vice-President Christian Svensson addressed the controversy in a blog post last night, saying the company plans to revisit its DLC strategy soon:

We've been getting several questions, here and elsewhere about the future of on-disc DLC.
We would like to assure you that we have been listening to your comments and as such have begun the process of re-evaluating how such additional game content is delivered in the future. As this process has only just commenced in the past month or so, there will be some titles, where development began some time ago and that are scheduled for release in the coming months, for which we are unable to make changes to the way some of their post release content is delivered.

In other words, upcoming titles like Dragon's Dogma, out May 22, can't be changed. It's too late to remove that game's on-disc DLC. But Capcom might approach its projects differently in the future. Or so they say.
