Woof! A Bear Is Confirmed For Street Fighter X Tekken...
But probably not the one you're picturing. At Evo2K11, during the Street Fighter X Tekken panel, producer Yoshinori Ono showed a pair of videos teasing new characters for the game, with the one above pretty much confirming the presence of Tekken's Kuma, an actual bear who somehow got involved in a fighting tournament. It sounds like something out of a Disney cartoon, except with ultraviolence. Of course, having Kuma around seems like it will boost the chances that figurative bear Zangief will show up, as he got his start wrestling the animals back in Mother Russia.
After the break, see the other teaser video, which is in all likelihood Street Fighter's female ninja Ibuki.






Yes! Zangief has to be in this now. And if he's there, Mike Haggar has to follow. The ultimate battle between Wrestlers. The Spinning Lariat! The Pile Driver! Two titans so entwined in each others histories, yet never getting to meet within the ring officially. Street Fighter X Tekken had better not disappoint. Oh and Zangief vs Kuma is a fight I've been waiting for since I first heard this game was being made. And it's tag team. Zangief and Haggar vs Kuma and Heihachi.
With Poison in and Cody all but confirmed, this game's roster is looking better and better.
