We've been streaming matches of Street Fighter X Tekken for quite some time now, so in the leadup to the game's March 6 launch, we wondered what we could do to spice things up even more. Well, how about a live-streamed, week-long tournament for $25,000, aired in collaboration with IPlayWinner and Team Spooky?

The official release:
Capcom is excited to announce we are collaborating with IPlayWinner and Team Spooky to deliver the first ever fighting-game-centered internet reality show.  Under the leadership of two legendary players from the fighting game scene, 10 players will compete for pride, fame and a grand prize of $25,000.
We present “Cross Assault.” - five players will be chosen to represent Team Street Fighter, five players will be chosen to represent Team Tekken.

Competing on Capcom’s next premier fighting game, Street Fighter X Tekken, the playing field is even. With strategic advice from the coaches, players must work together as a team and race to find the most effective strategies to win team challenges, or risk elimination.
And it’s completely LIVE.  We will be live streaming practice sessions, team challenges, elimination matches, as well as player interviews and insight from special guests. You can watch as much as you want, and see the action unfold as it happens.

By teaming up with respected names in the fighting game community, “Cross Assault” is being executed authenticly by those that love the fighting game genre as much as you do. “Cross Assault” is all about fighting game skill, and those that can learn and adapt that fastest will come out on top.

This concept takes everything you love about live, streamed tournaments, and then takes it to the next level by adding on new and entertaining situations and challenges, as well as a huge cash prize.

“Cross Assault” will take place in late February, and the finals will take place live on stage at Final Round in Atlanta, GA.  If you haven’t booked your tickets yet, do so NOW.  This will be an event you do not want to miss.
