Street Fighter X Tekken:  May the best man (or woman) win!

Street Fighter X Tekken, also known as SFXTK is a Capcom video game that will test your battling skills whether you are a newbie in training or an experienced player. With 38  to choose from, you can have your pick of legendary Tekken as well as Street Fighter characters.

 Would you like to move up another notch almost effortless and start winning more fights?  Then you need to know about  gems on SFXTK.

Some of Streetfighter X Tekken characters

The gem system plays to your strengths and weaknees in the game.  There are six gem types: assist, attack, cross gauge, defense, speed and vitality. There are three slots per character with color coded crystals.

How do you use the gems?  If your guard is weak, toss in a gem to shore up your defense. If you are too slow in landing a blow, throw in a speed gem. Capcom has assured us gems balance out, rather than give players unfair advantages.

 Unfortunately, gems are not free.  If you can overlook the cost, gems provide a way for you to evaluate your game fighting skills with a layer of customization to build your ideal combatatant. Ideal fighting characters combined with your video game fighting skills will undoubtedly put you on a winning streak when playing Street Fighter X Tekken.

Of course adding gems alone will not guarantee you more wins, but as the saying goes, "Every little bit helps."
