Street Fighter x Tekken x Street Fighter Catch All.

With the upcoming console generation switch, it's tempting to build out my fgc library on the PC for longevity's sake.

This game is the weekend deal on Steam for 66% off. That's $10 if you want just the game, $20 for game + all DLC, or $13 for all the DLC if you already have the game.

EDIT: It's worth noting that the PC version does have the 2013 balance patch, which includes this batch of system changes that make the game move a lot faster. The days of Street Fighter X Timeout are thankfully gone.

So is the netcode any better? The forums read like it's a teleport-fest online.

I don't own this on PC, I'm considering buying it in this sale, so I can't comment on the lag first hand. This Steam thread has people saying it's fine. In the end it's all going to come down to your and your opponents connection, I've had plenty of super laggy matches of SF4 on both PC and 360, and plenty of laggy matches of SFxT on 360.

Also keep in mind that *most* forum threads about fighting games are frequented by fairly hardcore players. To a lot of them playing online at all is going to be "a teleport fest", because their baseline is offline local play. I can count on 1 hand the number of times I've had an SF4 or SFxT match that was truly unplayable due to lag.

Awesome, thanks!

In case anybody does buy this during the sale, you can head here to get a bunch of mods for the game. Lots of good costumes, just be careful not to install *too* many as the game will crash if it tries to load multiple costume files for the same costume slot, and the authors sometimes use odd costume slots for their work.

If anybody wants to play a few matches on PC or 360 I'm free until 6:30.

I keep on considering buying this game with the sale almost being over, but does anyone have any idea if this will be ported over to steam with GFWL ending in July 2014? Because, after that date, no more multiplayer if nothing is done, and offline profiles, oh joy!

Ultra SF4 is moving to Steam from GFWL, so it's likely the same will happen with SFxT. There's no official word though, so if you're the nervous type you might consider holding off.

That said, the rumored GFWL shutdown isn't for another 8 months, so that's still 8 months of online play.
