Street Fighter x Tekken ver. 2013 – Final Balance Changes for Tekken Cast Part 1

To complement last week’s final balance changes for the Street Fighter cast, producer Tomoaki Ayano released a list for the Tekken cast in Street Fighter x Tekken’s upcoming ver. 2013 update. They weren’t able to include everything they’ve added for that half of the fighters, so be sure to check back next week for more insight into the Tekken side’s changes.
