Mega Man And Pac-Man Confirmed for SFxTK

Mega Man And Pac-Man Confirmed for SFxTK

None

A while back, we reported on speculation that two of the most bizarre guest fighters ever were joining the Street Fighter X Tekken roster.

Well, now it’s official: Pac-Man and Mega Man will both be joining the fight. However, neither is exactly the character you remember. Pac-Man will be riding a Mokujin robot, a giant mech made of wood. The robot has a bizarre selection of moves picked individually from Tekken’s entire roster, including Devil Jin’s eye lasers. Mega Man, on the other hand, joins in his North American bad box art incarnation. He fights primarily using hand-to-hand combat, but still uses his gun for specials and supers. He seems to have access to the robot master weapons of Mega Man 1, freezing Heihachi with an Ice Slasher in a recently released trailer.



The trailer reveals the five guest characters: Mega Man, Pac-Man, Cole MacGrath from inFamous, and Toro and Kuro, the Japanese PSN mascots, will only be playable on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita version of the game. That’s actually quite peculiar when you think about it. Recently it was revealed that Capcom could not coordinate with Microsoft to put any Microsoft themed exclusive characters in the Xbox 360 version. However, Pac-Man and Mega Man are both independent properties of both Sony and Microsoft. So it’s a little odd that Capcom would choose to omit them from the Xbox 360 version as well.
