Street Fighter X Tekken Sound Patch Inbound

Offline, SFxT’s frenetic combat works beautifully, displaying Capcom’s fighting muscle like never before.  Online, however, the addition of tag team switching to the Street Fighter engine comes at the irritating price of devastating sound drops that have been a thorn in fan’s asses since release day.

The words of Yoshinori Ono, Street Fighter X Tekken’s producer, when pressed about the chances of seeing a ‘Super’ or 'Ultimate’ reissue of the game.  Somebody chisel this quote in stone.  Or tattoo it.  Shit, laser carve it into the face of the moon so that Yoshinori can look to the clear night sky in times of doubt and whisper, “Just one disc…”

I will continue to be woefully inept at these games while still being totally infatuated with them when SFxT hits retail March 6th.
