Something interesting to take note of :

Both Capcom and Namco could take this into completely different directions. The games will probably be too different from SSF4 and Tekken, so they won't interfere, or won't be seen as "SSFIV with new characters".
I'm fairly certain that SF x T will NOT have the same characters as T x SF, so it just be a difference in fighting engines,

If you look closely at the new trailer, check the background, 2 things should be interesting:
- Ryu is pulling off links he can't do in SSFIV (standing fierce linking with standing roundhouse), I think it will be easier for SF characters to combo in this game, due to Tekken's combo/juggle aspect.
- a wrecked Servbot (Capcom) head
- another fight in the distance (a little poke at Mortal Kombat? Pit stage reference?)

Story line (which is gonna prove interesting) could be as follows, the "evil" Tekken characters invaded the SF Universe, and are wreaking havoc, which is why we see a busted up Servbot. Kazuya & Nina are considered the "bad" characters of Tekken, along with chars such as Lee, Devil Jin, Heihachi and Bryan, while Ryu & Chun-Li are the good ones in SF. This could be the case for SF x T.

Alternatively, T x SF could have T's good guys (Paul, Law, Asuka, Yoshimitsu) vs SF's bad guys (Bison, Vega, Sagat, Seth, Urien, Balrog, Akuma) who are invading the Namco territory.

Either that or it's my inner fanboy talking, and the Servbot is just coincidence
Capcom has a history of backgrounds giving hints about characters & storylines (look at MvsC)
Just think about this; there has to be a lot more different between the 2 games except for a difference in engine, because both producers want to make sure THEIR game sells, Namco wants SF fans to pick up their game, and Capcom wants Tekken fans to pick up Capcom's game.
They want to establish these games as a seperate project from their regular trademark series, so thinking you can pitch any SF characters vs any T character, doesn't look realistic to me.

Do not expect this game to feature 80-100 characters, I think 35-40 is a realistic number, and the roster will be different for both games, in order to make people pickup both games, win-win for both Capcom & Namco.

Just thinking about loud, not saying I'm right.. but there's a possibility.

makes me curious how the SF characters will be played in the Tekken x SF, and how it will look like

gonna be so weird, cuz Ryu will probably fireball spam Tekken chars all day.

if there is a Zangief vs Kuma, that will be fucking legit.
