Street Fighter X Tekken gem system alleviated with patch

Options to disable the controversial gem system will be accessible for Street Fighter X Tekken with a patch. We are interested to find out more about this resolve for tournament-level players that have been against the idea of gem system since its announcement.

The Inquisitr writes about the post-launch tournament support patch that Capcom will be releasing after Street Fighter X Tekken comes out in March. The actual features contained have not been explained yet but this patch is expected to alleviate issues that gamers have regarding the gem system. Hardcore fighting fans have not been impressed by the gem system although the more cavalier fighting game fans will find this useful.

Capcom have not said if this will be a complete solution to disable the gem system for tournament play but Yoshinori Ono has expressed that they are making a patch to assist issues for their loyal fans. A free post-launch tournament support mode will help those who are concerned about doing a pre-match gem check and button checks. Worries about future gem DLC that could give users more of an unfair advantage have been dealt with, as Ono said there is no scheme to sell gems yet as they are interested in the feedback at the moment.

Joystiq has spoken about the controversial gem system that is ideal for newcomers who find it hard to pull off the more intricate moves. The more seasoned player will find plenty of customization through the gem system and those who feel their character is not afflicting enough damage the Immense Power Boost Gem will give them 10% more while using five regular attacks for up to 20 seconds. Speed and defense gems are also accessible to get the best out of your player.

There is plenty of depth available for hardcore gamers as two fighters can tag in and out as well as discover many combos and team aspects. Excitement is also delivered with the addition of the Pandora mode, which lets a player sacrifice another in order to get more power for the individual. This unlocks when both characters have under 25% health although you could be taking a big chance here. The idea of bringing both Tekken and Street Fighter styles together has been welcomed, as fans of both will get the opportunity to join in what Yoshinori Ono calls a festival.

Only a few days ago we reported on the characters involved and the responses concerning which ones gamers would like to see could make quite a long list. Fans of both Tekken and Street Fighter named characters from previous games and some created their own lists. So we are wondering what characters do you not want to see?
