Street Fighter X Tekken 2013 Knuckles Up Some Changes
If you’re a fan of Street Fighter X Tekken, you’ll probably want to know what the new 2013 patch has in store for your fighting game pleasure.
A post on the Capcom-Unity blog from ComboFiend details the changes, which are now live on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Marketplace.
One of the most major changes is in the gem system. The game now lets players utilize preset gem options, which allow for faster selection and customization of play-style. Players will need to create a new file to use these presets, but their saves will carry over. The only downside is that colored costumes won’t be transferred.
ComboFiend gives us a breakdown of the presets, which include the gems used and their activation parameters:
