Screenshot leak reveales two new Street Fighter X Tekken characters

M.Bison and Ling Xiaoyu have been revealed to be joining the Street Fighter X Tekken cast. But it seems Capcom were planning to reveal them later rather then sooner as knowledge about the new characters came via a leaked screen shot rather then an official announcement from Capcom.

M.Bison has been a important part of the Street Fighter series history, from giving players joypad throwing fits in Street Fighter II and Street Fighter Alpha 3, to being a very competitive character in the Street Fighter tourney scene. Ling Xiaoyu has been a lovable (and deceptively powerful if tricky to use) character in the Tekken series, starting when she made her debut in Tekken 3 for the PlaySation (along with her Panda). So her inclusion isn’t a surprise either.

Personally, the more the merrier and I hope Capcom have some more surprises in store for us for Street Fighter X Tekken, even though the release date for the game (early 2012) is fast approaching.
