Honestly, I'm not that interested in the game either... mostly because I wasn't a big fan of the latest incarnation of Street Fighter (characters seem to FLOAT in the air too long when they jump, the movement just didn't seem right to me.). If the movement had been more similar to the MvC style games, I mighta got behind it, but the SFII-series, including the alphas, were the last ones I was a fan of the street fighters. I figure I'll give this one a shot, simply because I enjoy cross overs, my lil Chinese girl is in it... but the gameplay doesn't seem like my style of playing.... we'll see, I've been wrong. The Gem system does seem a lil buggersome, I don't know why they have an option to REMOVE it from gameplay on certain modes, as that it should be as simple as ADDING/REMOVING a handicap from a player (lower or increase the number of gems in play)... but I have to agree with theDude255. From what I've heard, the gems are only marginally noticable in terms of damage and gameplay.
I AM however enjoying the all the cinimatic trailers though, as that I enjoy them greatly. If the gameplay graphics on par of the cinimatics (which might never ever happen), then it would rock!... Tekken X Street Fighter, now I'm looking forward to that one!
