games in the fighting game genre to be made by Namco and Capcom. On March 4, 2012, Namco released a poll on the Tekken Facebook page asking fans to vote for who they would like to see on Tekken X Street Fighter'''s roster. There were 55 Tekken characters and 66 Street Fighter characters to choose from, and fans were able to choose five of their favorites from each series. In March 2012, Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada clarified that the poll would not decide the final roster, but will instead be used in conjunction with various research methods to determine the character lineup. In April 2012, Harada stated that the game was about 10% complete. At the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con, Harada confirmed that the game was still in development, with the reason for the scarce information being due to Bandai Namco waiting for the opportunity to market it. In 2015, Harada stated that development had come far along. In December of the same year, Street Fighter Akuma was announced as a playable guest character in Tekken 7: Fated Retribution, though no statement was made as to whether this was an indicator of the crossover title's status. In April 2016, Harada stated that development on the game was officially on hold, with the reason being given as to not split the communities behind both franchises. He reiterated this during a 2018 year-end party livestream, while also revealing that the game was about 30% complete. In May 2019, Harada states that he still wants to release the game, but his “logical and business” sense has him questioning whether he actually should. In December 2019, Harada posted a poll on his Twitter account, asking the community how much they still were waiting for the game. In June 2021, during a broadcast of his "Harada's Bar Radio" YouTube show, it was believed that Harada confirmed Tekken X Street Fighter had been officially cancelled; however, he later clarified that no one has a clue anymore. According to Harada, the game was about 30% complete when development was halted in 2016, and some of the animations they had created for the game had been reused for Akuma in Tekken 7.
