Capcom has released a new trailer for Street Fighter X Tekken. The video gives a breakdown of the gameplay mechanics and actually explains how it works. Four new characters have also been revealed: Ibuki and Hugo from Street Fighter and Raven and Kuma from Tekken.
The gameplay is pretty straight forward. Pressing both medium attack buttons at the same time activates a character switch. This can be done while just standing still or during an attack in exchange for a bar of meter. Hitting both heavy attacks simultaneously launches the opponent in the air for a juggle and automatically switches to your partner.
Basic combos are relatively easy to do in SFxT. Just press the attack buttons in order from light to heavy and then hit heavy again and you’ll do a combo that launches the opponent into the air. You can continue the combo with your team mate by just hitting the light, medium, heavy, heavy sequence again. These combos can be modified to your liking but it’s nice knowing that there’s a standard combo no matter who you’re playing as.
With a full bar of meter you can perform a cooperative Cross Arts special. These super moves have the visual flair of SFIV’s Ultra combos and deal tons of damage. The last gameplay mechanic shown is the Cross Assault. Once this has been activated both characters on your team can attack the opponent at the same time for a short duration of time. It looks absolutely insane.

Well, am not sure about Hugo & Kuma if i am honest (just kinda generic big lumbering characters to me), but the other two are nice additions.
