Oh I agree completely. It's a brilliant move by Namco as I brings new interest into its biggest I.P. which is no secret that it's been stagnating in sales in the home market for some time. This also allows them the opportunity of having SF players dip their toes into their fighting engine in preperation while at the same time hyping up the possibility of TxSF being the next official stepping stone into the next Tekken installment.
People have been bitching that TxSF was vaporware and that it would never materialize as Namco has been very quiet about their version of the game. I don't blame Namco tho. SFxT was a disaster. They needed to approach their own philosophy into their version in a very careful way and learn from Capcom's mistakes.
