GameOn - Fighting Games - Street Fighter x Tekken

I remember being excited and confused when Capcom announced Street Fighter x Tekken when both fighting games have a totally different battle system.  It seems that it falls more into the Street Fighter cross over style with games like SNK vs. Street Fighter and such.  The game features a 2-person tag team which means you can play along side a friend and even a full out 2 vs 2 with all 4 players on the screen.  The 2-player tag system allows a player or players to switch smoothly between the characters to chain a long string of attacks between them for the maximum damage output.  With a cast from both Street Fighter and Tekken, it's going to be very interesting with the mash-ups a player could do.  I'm not sure if they're going to be adding all the characters that people want since players already devising match-ups such as Fei Long versus Marshall Law and Akuma versus Heihachi.  Currently, there are 22 characters listed on the site.  There could be more, and I hope there will be without the need to buy them as a DLC.  But this is Capcom we're talking about, and they've been milking with DLCs like crazy lately.  I'm actually pretty hyped for this game since it's a different battle system and won't really replace a game that I'd be otherwise be playing (example: getting Soul Calibur 5 might mean playing Soul Calibur 4 a lot less).  Looks like this won't be out until March 2012, which is fine.  I hope this means more characters will be added.
