Another dev blog from Ayano-san! Character tease, Street Fighter patch info, and more! 

Just when I thought the year was just starting, suddenly it's February! It's been unusually cold in Japan, and we've gotten a ton of snow, but we have some big news that will surely warm your hearts!

Street Fighter X Tekken has finally gone gold!

Thank you, thank you! Honestly, this is all thanks to the support from you, our fans. We would never have been able to do this without you! Now all that’s left is to wait for the release of the game on March 8^th!

—————————————————————————————

This patch does not have anything that changes the nature of the game, but we hope that you can enjoy a more perfect version of SSFIV AE Ver. 2012!

Moving on, there are only a few qualifying spots left for the SSFIV AE Ver. 2012 Capcom Official Spring National Tournament. This tournament will show us just who the best AE player in Japan is. ...No, wait, we have some international players coming down as well, so this tournament will decide who is the best in the world perhaps...?

Speaking of qualifiers, yours truly will be dropping by the Taito Men of Valor Cup grand finals on Feb 12^st. Which team will earn a spot in the Spring National Tournament? This is something I definitely want to check out!

I hope you all can also make it out to one of the remaining qualifiers!

These tournaments are 3 on 3, and as a team you can choose a cool team name. But please be warned that if the tournament organizers find your team name to be inappropriate we reserve the right to change it. But I’m sure you guys already knew that, right?

Ok, that’s all for this week! See you next week!

And before that, tonight I get to go out drinking! Whee!
