Information about SFxTK Vita hit out today from Captivate in which they went over details of the portable handheld. Looks as if the portable will come with all the bells and whistle of the PS3 game as well as Cross Platform Play (Called it!). It will also be compatible with all the DLC from the console version (Called that too) and anyone who buys the Vita game will be able to download all the additional characters for PS3 for free (I am clairvoyant!). All the information given today can be viewed below.
The long awaited dream match-up between the two leaders in the fighting genre can now be played at home… AND on the go! Street Fighter X Tekken on the PlayStation Vita builds upon the action-packed console experience and delivers an expanded version of the ultimate tag team match up. In addition to all 43 of the iconic characters featured on the PlayStation 3 version, 12 new characters will make their debut on the PS Vita, making for one of the most robust character line-ups in fighting game history.
Playing at home or on the streets, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 3 Cross-Platform Play lets Street Fighter X Tekken players compete anytime, anywhere, against anyone… either locally, with 3G or via Wi-Fi. A host of additional new features and surprises designed specifically for the PS Vita system are being implemented and will be revealed prior to the game’s release in fall 2012.
FEATURES

For players who choose to own the PS Vita version and already have the PlayStation 3 version of the game, they will receive these additional 12 characters as free DLC.
