Tekken X Street Fighter - Build the Roster

[@ElectroDojo]

So you´re telling me that for 2 years I avoided this "Build the roster" videos because I taught that they were no edit no script podcast-like videos but they are actually very well edited and written videos with cool and interesting ideas that make sense and are also entertaining as actual fan wishlists?!

[@BigFresh37]

Probably should have tried them out first, man…

[@paolocalapatia6401]

Word of advice: If your'e gonna watch his Marvel Vs. Capcom 4 Video, watch BOTH Part 1 AND 2 before giving your judgment...I...made that mistake before...After watching BOTH parts, even though I still think it could use a few fixes, I realized it’s actually AWESOMELY well thought that I'd play it :D

[@KitCloud1]

I mean should give a look before judging, but that's actually very fair, I've been looking all over KZbin for something half as good as this. Also this is nothing. In the MvC and SNKvC videos he goes into all kinds of details about story content and gameplay mechanics. Then there's the sega smash video.

The best way to describe the difference between Fei Long and Marshall Law is that Marshall Law is like a character Bruce Lee would play whereas Fei Long is just Bruce Lee.

I wouldn't say that Fei Long is Bruce Lee. After all, Bruce & Brandon Lee did exist in the Street Fighter universe.

Zangief being rival to King makes even more sense when Zangief wants to be an inspiration for all Russia, whilst King wants to give children a better life by raising money. Both have motives to the betterment of some community. Boom

[@derrickhaggard]

True. But another aspect of King 2's character that was revealed in Tekken 7 is him realizing that he's getting older and that while he loves Lucha Libre especially since it was set him on the straight and narrow when he was young that it will soon come time for him to pass the mask on to a new King and so he's also raising money to start a Indie Pro Wrestling Promotion in the US so he can help train the next generation of Professional Wrestlers.

[@FakeDavyCrockett]

We’ve seen throughout the series that Zangief trains by wrestling with grizzly bears. If only Tekken had a major character who was a grizzly bear (they do)

[@rRecoveryProd]

​@FakeDavyCrockett Zangief doesn't wrestle grizzlies, he deals with MUCH larger ursines than that in Russia: Ussuri Brown Bears.

Paul and Dan is a perfect match up for a rivalry, cause not only both a comic relief fighters with bad luck but this give us a bizzaro version of Ryu vs Ken.

But Paul is actually strong

[@acmeanvil3022]

I don't know if this idea might be out of your wheelhouse, but I'd absolutely love to see a Build the Roster video for a hypothetical Cartoon Network Vs Nickelodeon platform fighter. Both networks have had a platform fighter to their name in both Punch Time Explosion and All-Star Brawl respectively. The former was commended for its amount of content but criticised for having poor gameplay, while the latter was commended for its good gameplay but criticised for its lack of content. Both games are on opposite ends of the spectrum, and could easily benefit from merging the positives from one with the other. Plus, there's a ton of underrated Nicktoons and CN originals that didn't make it in either entry that I feel would work great as fighters.

[@skullythekidd0175]

Yeah, like Jenny wakeman (a.k.a. x-j9), el tigre, vlad plasmas, timmy turner, and jimmy neutron. And that's just for the Nickelodeon side.

Great! This is where I dreamed since I was a kid. Yeah let's make it happen like Ben Tennyson vs Danny Phantom, or Spongebob vs Bugs Bunny or Gumball, or even Jimmy vs Dexter. That could be awesome if it that happen for Nickelodeon vs CN crossover fighting game

[@dillongeorge5866]

That would be neat, but honestly I think it would be funnier to do a tag fighter instead, because it's never been done before and both companies already have platform fighters (CN will actually have two if we count Multiversus). The idea of building a team of cartoon characters just sounds like a lot of fun and prime for fan service

[@MJSHappy]

Suggestion: since Julia is not just an influencer but an influencer fighting for the environment, would G make a good rival for her? Since he also strives for attention and was on one of Rashid’s streams, and his whole thing is fighting for the Earth

[@TheGreatCheevo]

I love how you got thru the entire Akira / Leo bit without acknowledging that the two have the exact same fighting style.

[@thechalkmonster7689]

One of my favorite/interesting examples of Japan taking voice actors deaths very seriously is Persona 5 See, the voice actor of Igor had past away part way through the development of the game, but because Igor is a very important character not only for that specific game but also the franchise, they couldn’t just get rid of him So, they made an imposter Igor being the one you see for most of the game, but around the end point you would meet the real Igor once again. I just think that so cool to put that there

[@Triforce_of_Doom]

said VA dying is also why the Persona 4 anime, either Golden or both versions it's been a while so I forget if Igor talked much in vanilla's anime, mostly had Margaret do the talking in the Velvet Room.

I'm glad you put Fei Long in the game. He was sorely missed in SF5. I'm someone who loves Bruce Lee homages and Jeet Kune do fighters in fighting games. Marshall Law vs Fei long is a dream match for me that SFXT did not fulfill.

[@gabrielgonzalez7045]

I'm glad to see this series back again, it certainly was a long time. However if I could add two guest characters (one from Bandai Namco and one from Capcom) I would go with Wargreymon (Digimon) and Mega Man.EXE (Mega Man Battle Network) I went with this rivalry because they come from some form of cyberspace but also these two are no strangers to fighting games (multiple Digimon fighting games and Onimusha Blade Warriors respectively) plus with Digimon Survive on the horizon and Mega Man Battle Network being promoted in mobile games and merchandise; I say these two are the perfect guest. With Wargreymon's different skills from the various Digimon and EXE's battle chips you can create amazing movesets for them.

[@honeyham6788]

Ok, but now I REALLY need a Digimon vs Megaman fighting game

[@merchantziro4285]

Yes, just yes. Also Tai and Lan would probably be great friends and I can see them playing their rivalry off as a friendly duel. Lan and MegaMan perhaps coming from the future because of time and space shenanigans (which is also how EXE is in the real world when he would need either a modified CopyBot or a dimensional area to do so. Perhaps that's the in-universe for why these two, who normally fight threats on a scale far beyond the Street Fighter and Tekken cast normally fight, are fighting as they would be. The two are weakened in the physical world because of the events of the big bad. Though EXE can't use his other forms, Agumon is only able to match the other fighters with his Wargreymon form. Heck for a small bit of fun you could imply Digimon are basically as the prototype that would lead to creation of NetNavis and revolution of the net in 20XX. Also I can see jokes from some of the Tekken cast about Agumon's resemblance to Gon, who was a guest character in Tekken 3. Plus considering he's one of the most iconic antagonists in the series Bass.EXE also kinda has to be here, he's pretty much the Akuma to MegaMan's Ryu. Also his dark powers and personality would definitely bounce off the Street Fighter and Tekken cast quite well. And his rival I would say has to be BlackWarGreymon, both are literally created to fight each other and the rivalry both could have would be entertaining. I've also heard Beelzemon is a good pick but I think BlackWarGreymon is more likely because... I mean he's the rival of WarGreymon.

[@ThePokefreak98]

If they were to do guest characters it would most likely be Morrigan and a Soul Calibur Character 💀

[@somerandomdude7785]

Why not Gatchmon vs MegaMan.EXE? Both Digimon Universe: Appmon & Battle Network obviously involve cyberspaces, viruses & AIs.

[@maxleon61702]

Want something more bizarre? Why not have Touma Amagase to team-up with Dante? A Boy Band Member teaming up with Capcom's crazier, nuttier and stronger John Constantine in Red and Black is somehow a strange, but interesting mix-up. I picture the former being like a Bruce Lee Clone of sorts, as I've depicted him to be a Bruce Lee-ish Fighter when I made him in Soul Calibur.

My only other changes: I think Makoto could be a good rival for Xiaoyu. And although it probably would never happen - instead of Jaycee, they could build on Michelle's tag 2 ending and have her enter in the wrestling get up - a new take on a throwback character for long term fans and an interesting rival dynamic of a slightly older woman who is fierce fighter but new to wrestling vs R.Mika, a young breakout wrestling star.

With 2 years having gone by, Marvel has been releasing a TON of new content that is bringing in new fans like Shang-Chi, Moon Knight, and Falcon, along with Capcom with RE8 and upcoming SF6. Maybe not a video, but perhaps just an image of your updated picks with some characters being cuts. - Super Robot Wars: This is gonna be some HEAVY work with how many shows and movies you’ll have to watch, but a fighting game that puts Gundam, Evangelion, Macross, Gunbuster, etc, would be hella fun to see. - SoulsBorne Giant Boss Fight Arena: A Godzilla arena like fighting game but uses giant monsters from Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Elden Ring, Demon Souls, and Sekiro, would be interesting to see.

Okay, crazy idea: “Capcom vs. Capcom” What do I mean by that? I’m glad you asked. The whole gimmick of the game is that each character has a rival…but all the rivals are mixed and matched.

I unironically want Ingrid in the game, maybe even as a secret character.

How could you not add her?!

She’s generally hated in the Street Fighter community, so that’s one can of worms I don’t see them touching.

[@anthonychessar7179]

But here's the thing.....the hate for her is completely UNNATURAL and NONSENSICAL! This character is only playable in two fighting games they NOBODY really(especially that very specific port of Alpha 3 Max) There's generally no ACTUAL reason she is really hated, it's just poeple being nonsensical and/or simply riding this question mark of a bandwagon. If she were actually a playable again(say in SF6) and poeple might actually have an ACTUAL opinion on her instead of just hating for literally NO REASON due to have never actually played as/against her before. She'd probably have a much better reception to at least a mixed one.

[@Altar360]

Man, this is a fun one. I remember during the pre-release of SF X Tekken I was mostly against the obvious like “Oh E Honda vs Ganryu” and tried to think beyond that. Like Paul vs Zangief. Russian Muscle Power vs the self proclaimed Toughest in the Universe. Like Zangief would scoff at this claim, and Paul, ever the hot head, says that the only thing that’s ever beaten him was a bear. Zangief laughs at this as he wrestles bears as part of his training regiment. Paul rushes in to prove his toughness. Regardless of who wins, they earn each other’s respect. Much like your pitch for Ken vs Hworang, I always saw Sagar try and talk the young Korean hothead out of his obsession in his rivalry. SF x Tekken also missed out on team ups by limiting them to their series. A team-up of Chun Li and Lei, she sees him as a goofball only to see just how seriously he really does take his job. Rufus vs Bob? Boring! Rufus vs Paul, however, him going “Ken Masters! You think growing a beard and getting a stupid haircut’s gonna fool me!?”

[@TheKamenrider36]

Congrats on two years, always enjoyed seeing the creative roster ideas and the level of detail you put into coming up with reasons they'd be great choices. For DLC characters ideas: - Josie Rizal and Dee Jay, wanted to give Josie some love and had difficulties picking a rival, but picked Dee Jay since he's also a kickboxer but also thinking of the interactions, like Dee Jay seeing potential in her and give her more confidence. - Roger Jr. and Mike Haggar, wanted to give Final Fight some rep (well a little more rep) and also have a wild choice, so chose Mike since he hasn't appeared as a playable character in Street Fighter proper, so like Poison, he returns to the ring although his moves will be tweaked to deviate from Zangief's moves, while Roger Jr fights how he does normally. The story can be simple, Roger wanting a match against Haggar to see if he's still got it. - Eliza and Menat, another out there cause cause it basically is, I can see these two having some hilarious interactions like Menat sensing her as a potential threat in the future, but gets annoyed at Eliza's narcolepsy. - Ivy and Morrigan, did wonder if they did feature guest character like SFxT, I would pick characters that I felt worked better in this setting, was not easy but went with these two as they are both purple clad fighters from Europe and also seeing these two interact would be fun with their clashing personalities. Plus imagining Ivy wonder how Yoshimitsu is here and Morrigan wanting to fight Eliza since she reminds her of someone she knows. For Roster suggestions: - A Smash Bros with Microsoft characters (maybe call it X-Brawlers or something) - A Danganronpa fighting game (though for a challenge, maybe come up with an in story explanation for why characters that should be dead are around and figure out their finishers/executions) - A Godzilla fighting game similar to the Atari trilogy (Destroy all Monsters Melee, Save The Earth and Unleashed) - A Transformers Fighting game with various characters from many timelines and universe - A Marvel vs DC crossover (if the NetherRealms's Marvel game rumor is anything to go by, could also be an idea if the rumor goes nowhere ) - A Resident Evil Fighting game for Halloween perhaps? Could be neat seeing the iconic characters and monsters get some ideas - an Avatar fighting game (with a challenge of having the Last Airbender cast interacting with the Legend of Korra cast through a story) - Legend of Zelda Fighter, the series has a lot of characters to choose from. - A Disney Smash Bros, with Nick and CN having done one (the latter could have a sequel roster idea but then again there is that WB game I nearly forgot about), they'd be the next step as they have a variety of well known and obscure movies/shows to choose from - A Sailor Moon Fighterz game, you’d think a well known series like this would have a lot of games but it’s only had a few and only the heroes were playable. I think if Arcsys did make this, they can add some more characters like some villains to spice up the game idea

[@couver73]

I'm just gonna say it, Devil Jin and Evil Ryu should have been in the main roster. I get ending the DLC off on a high note, but these two are EQUALLY as important to the story as their normal counterparts. We got screwed out of getting either in Street Fighter x Tekken in the first place, and while I'm glad to have seen these two at all, it feels like a disservice to leave them as DLC. After all, we've yet to see in any of these games on either end where there's an actual story moment of them transforming. It kinda writes itself here.

[@sunnymane]

[@azuresaiyan9005]

Personally I like Ryu and Kazuya and Ken and Paul to be rivals because in a lot of ways, Kazuya and Paul are like the Bizarro versions of Ryu and Ken. Ryu is a calm and disciplined student of martial arts who constantly fights to keep his dark powers in check while Kazuya is a power hungry madman who relishes his evil powers. Ken was once a fierce rival to Ryu but grew up and became a father and family man as well as rich and well respected whereas Paul who started out as a fierce rival for Kazuya that is now a down on his luck loser who picks fights with bears of all things.

[@majinkrucifixus4725]

Jin and Ryu, Kazuya and Akuma have way more in common

[@BensyBens]

You just described tekken vs virtua fighters Kazuya Vs Ryu we already got in SFxT and it’s sucks. Ken VS Paul is just bad rivalry pairing because paul is not a kazuya clone. If there was a tekken x street fighter kazuya perfect pairing are urien or akuma and ryu would have a rivalry with jin, while ken and hwoarang are much fitting and about paul i think balrog is the best rivalry pairing i can think of (the paul vs dan pairing is just horrible idea ganryu is better fits to dan). If there was tekken vs virtua fighter we gonna get kazuya/akira and paul/jacky bryant because the characters started as vf knock-off characters.

Another amazing BTR video but after watching it, a pretty cool idea popped into my head that would be great if this game became a real thing; ALTERNATE COSTUMES. They don't have to be DLC but say if you complete Ryu's Arcade Mode then you unlock his more modern look from Street Fighter V with the ripped gi top and the beard. If you beat Hwoarang's arcade mode then you can unlock the classic Karate Outfit from Tekken 3. Heck, just imagine Dan Hibiki with cardboard wings stapled to his back trying to copy Devil Jin. There are endless possibilities of alternate costumes that could be in the game 🤪

There is one thing I want to point out about the voice actor thing: Daisuke Gori was actually the voice of Heihachi from 3-6, but died before 7. So Unsho Ishizuka was brought in, but sadly also died after 7. You could say we're back to square one since I guess he was only recast because of story purposes, I'm just pointing it out since the way Japan handles it is very interesting.

[@SoulBro12]

I noticed that Ishizuka was only voicing Young Heinhachi until this Tekken 7(whoops I meant the crossover first). I find it very jarring and too coincidental that in every game after Gori's death, Heihachi was exclusively playable in his young version and is voiced by Ishizuka until the crossover game where at that point, the guy already cemented himself as the character. They might do the same where we get an even younger heihachi voiced by a different seiyu if he ever came back.

[@FlashNeko417]

Reporting in from a year in the future to say: Luke vs Bob actually makes more sense now, since you have Public Servant Becomes World Traveling MMA Fighter To Find Himself (with some PMC coaching work on the side) vs World Traveling MMA Fighter Becomes Public Servant To Find Himself.

But mainly 3, Guile giving Paul a lesson in humility. Making him realize that while he is an experienced and well trained fighter, he has lost his way of what he was. Kind of like how in Tekken 4 where Paul doesn't see himself being caught in with money and fame, but as a free spirit who is grounded and knows what he wants, much like Guile. The battle would slowly make Paul realize that he's become too undisciplined and stubborn along with Law in trying to become something they aren't needing to be. Comedic value in search if a quick buck. They train still yes, but they still need more to fully utilize their potential.
