Gloves off

Hot on the heels of last week’s Japanese release date, Capcom has confirmed that Street Fighter X Tekken will bring its breed of crossover chaos to European PlayStation Vitas on 19th October. That’s a full four days before the North American release, giving overseas players a competitive advantage. Well, unless you’ve got a PlayStation 3 and have been practicing your Rufus and Bob tag-team for the past four months. In that case, consider yourself fairly well prepared.

The handheld re-release promises a handful of improvements over its PS3 counterpart, including a couple of new gameplay modes and Near integration. Will you be double-dipping?
