Okay we're into April and no trailer came out @ the end of March like this spoiler leak promised. Was always bullshit anyway, for starters you don't say some characters aren't in it because they want to focus on the early Tekkens and than list a unpopular Tekken 6 character in it. You also don't talk like you know how the developers are thinking, most spoiler leaks cut the bullshit and just list what they know, Lupinko's source for MVC3 and MK9 didn't know why they did or didn't do things, he just knew what was going to happen. Same with the dude who leaked the Super information. Also if you're going to pretend a trailer is about to come out, don't list it a week before Capcom's big event in Captivate. Capcom are saving everything for here... AE, SFxT, probably more MVC3 characters etc.
Anyway to bring this into the right thread and out of Toxy's..
First up, don't be so aggressive (as always), I simply said that it was in Capcom's best interests to have something 100% Capcom. CVS2 was good but SNK were on Death's Door and by that, they had their moment and stepped aside. Namco on the other hand is actually the biggest competition Capcom has. I just don't think Capcom would like to focus absolutely everything into a title that could steer their player base towards Tekken. It could certainly happen the other way as well but if Capcom don't enforce the Street Fighter series in some way where will people go? SFxTekken and Tekken Tag 2 or Tekken 7 or Super Tekken World: The Lost Levels?
The thing that's wrong with this logic is that Tekken 6 is #1 in the arcades in Japan while SFIV was like #4 or something. When it comes to arcade success if anything Namco have more to lose than to gain unlike Capcom... and really with Tekken being so dominate if the people playing SFIV liked that style of play they would already be playing Tekken..
I think you need to know that Capcom have had a lot of flops in their console division.. it's why MvC3 was clearly rushed out the door so their bottom line for the last financial year looked better... SFxT is going to get pushed big.. on arcade and console... really it was either SFxT or SFV imo, no way they don't push SFxT at the expense of a 15-18 month old (I'm guessing that is how AE will be @ the time of release for SfXT) AE game that is unpopular due to Yun. Tokido's flat out said he hates Yun (and I've hardly seen his BP move lately..) and that the game was unpopular in Japan due to him, I watched Guard Crush 14 @ New York and the amount of venom directed @ Yun since Marn was competing was staggering... heck Marn hates the character too and he's won the only two big AE tournaments in America with him.
Also I agree that AE will be a main event @ 2 more SBO's... but I can't see it being a main event from 2013 onwards... probably a B-Game @ that point.
