Today, during the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary panel here at New York Comic-Con, Capcom's Matt Dahlgren announced a complete rebalance of Street Fighter X Tekken.
Dahlgren explained that the balancing would be similar to the balancing Capcom performed on the Street Fighter IV series. The update will come free of charge and make adjustments both large and small. Dahlgren offered several examples of the upcoming tweaks, including an adjustment to the life gauge coloring to better visualize how much health has been depleted, and a change to the "Fight" text that appears at the start of matches to avoid blocking the characters on screen.
A host of character-specific changes were also discussed and ranged from minute frame changes for attack animations to buffs in specific techniques. Oddly, an improvement to Cammy's Hooligan Combination was greeted with a tremendous burst of cheers and applause from the audience, leading this author to believe that the entire Street Fighter community must love Cammy. Or something.
Dahlgren ended his talk on the rebalance by announcing that the free update will launch in 2013.
Ryan Clements writes for IGN and, honestly, uses Cammy as a default character right after Ryu. He will admit that this selection is based purely on her awesome beret.
