Capcom has shown a devotion for supporting their fighting games like Street Fighter and Marvel Vs Capcom by getting involved with events and helping support major fighting game tournaments like Evo2k.  Capcom’s Matt Dahlgren and Haunts (from iplaywinner) announced today that a partnership deal was inked to bring a week-long tournament (and part reality show) called ‘Cross Assault‘ to the Internet airwaves surrounding the highly anticipated Street Fighter X Tekken video game.  The announcement came in the form of Twitter, Facebook and their website but we were mostly interested in watching the guys talk about it on Andrea Rene’s (of Clevver Games) show X The Line!

At a glance – viewers can expect to see the top Street Fighter players going up against the top Tekken gamers.  It’s possible that if Capcom and iplaywinner can make an entertaining event and show out of everything that skeptics will forget all about things like Pandora and Gems.
