So, one fighter’s highly anticipated guest character ends up in a different fighter…Something tells me this has to do with the multiplatform angle–Street Fighter 6 is already on the same platforms FF7 Revelation will be, hence they can easily do complete cross-promotion.
(Meanwhile, those Tekken 8 fans who were anticipating Tifa to end up arriving in their neighborhood…yeah, the closest a Nintendo platform has gotten to mainline Tekken to date was the Wii U version of Tag Tournament 2. Wouldn’t have been easy to try to hook people into the Switch 2 version of FF7 Revelation had they cross-promoted in a game that wasn’t on the Switch 2, after all! …I do expect the “Nintendo hasn’t tasted mainline Tekken” angle to change before the Switch 2 generation is up, but that depends on when Namco’s System 11 starts getting represented in the Arcade Archives…)
