Beat ‘em up crossover Street Fighter X Tekken, being developed by Capcom in collaboration with Namco Bandai Games, has been rated ‘T’ for Teen by the Entertainment Software Rating Board. Big deal, right? Well actually it is, because the text beneath the heading ‘Rating Summary’ hints that yet-to-be-confirmed fighter Alisa Bosconovitch will make her way into the final version of the game.

The excerpt containing the clue is written below. We’ve underlined the incriminating word to be helpful:

“This is an arcade-style fighting game in which players engage in two-on-two battles with characters from the Street Fighter and Tekken universes. Players punch, kick, and use special attacks (e.g., energy blasts, fireballs, electrical strikes) to deplete opponents' life meters. Some fighters also use laser swords, chainsaws, metal claws, or explosives to knock characters across the screen or to the ground.”

Alisa, introduced to Namco’s esteemed button basher in Tekken 6, is an android created by one Dr Bosconovitch, able to sprout chainsaws from her arms when her ‘Destroy Mode’ is activated during combat. No other Tekken character – or Street Fighter character for that matter – possesses this ability. Putting two and two together then, four can be the only answer. My maths teacher would be proud…

Street Fighter X Tekken will be available on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 from March 6th in North America, and March 9th in Europe.
