Hello, everyone. My name is Kelvin Smith (PSN: kev302smith), and I stand to say that Street Fighter X Tekken has personally changed my life as a member of the fighting game community. To this day since May of 2013, I represent this game on the PSN side (90% as a die-hard Vita player, 10% as a PS3 gameplay recorder and film-maker) as my goal is to establish/continue my personal legacy with two things: my only team of Law/Cole, and my love for Pandora. As this year marks the fifth-year anniversary since its release, I would like to send a mass invitation to help SFxT become remastered for next-generation consoles.

There has been increasing conversation from past and present players, including legendary fighters involved in SFV and the Capcom Pro Tour, reflecting on their experiences on SFxT and their wishes to play again. Recently, the FGC has experienced the return of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 to next-generation consoles and, to much surprise, the up-coming revival of Street Fighter 2 for the Nintendo Switch. While SFxT is only marred by criticism of the gem concept, the DLC controversy, and, from personal experience, the (dis)advantages of Cross-Play, it was a fascinating game where two worlds met in a advanced gameplay environment compared to Street Fighter V. This has led to many players and groups/clans having faith that this game has a possibility of returning.

On a personal level, SFxT was the 1st Street Fighter game that I began to take serious casually as well as competitively and socially, where I have met and sparred with many strong players on both sides of PSN, including the current 3-time EVO champion, Esuta. The community is insightful in terms of, through social media and YouTube, sharing substantial amounts of information as well as displaying their love of the game with various sparring sets and/or compilation videos of combos or tag concepts in the game (Cross Assault, Pandora, etc.). The competition, currently rather small, was and is always fierce, specifically on the Xbox side where numerous online tournaments, such as the ones hosted by PxG, consisted of the deadly tournament players themselves. SFxT still has a presence in EVO, Final Round, and other events as side-tournaments hosted by loyal fans of the game.

The importance of SFxT, whether by its flaws or its features, is still relevant to past and present players in the fighting game community. The excitement and innovation that was showcased could still be present, if not dramatically increased if given an opportunity to return. The strong love that I, along many others, have for this game remains to this day, which is why I am asking you Capcom: With consideration, would you PLEASE remaster Street Fighter X Tekken for the next generation consoles?
