Why is this going to be cool? Because IPW and Spooky are the best in the business and they always produce top level content. On a side note, I would love for a Tekken player to win this shit.
"We're proud to announce that IPLAYWINNER and TEAM SPOOKY are working on a very exciting project withCapcom—a live reality show for Street Fighter x Tekken titled "Cross Assault" — that is going to take everything you know and love about streams and the fighting game scene to a completely new level.
"Cross Assault" is live and uncut, spanning the course of 7 days, with two teams — Team Street Fighter and Team Tekken — facing off against each other under the coaching of two legendary players from the fighting game community, all with a grand prize of $25,000.
Five players will be chosen for each team, all competing in a series of skill-based challenges surrounding Street Fighter x Tekken, with the coach for each team working with the players to find the most effective strategies to lead their team to victory. Players who don't make the cut will have to rely on their fighting game skills to avoid being eliminated from the competition. That's right, being dope at boogie boarding or jump roping wont help you here — it's all about your fighting game skills in "Cross Assault"!"
"IPLAYWINNER and TEAM SPOOKY are pulling the best of the best from the community to make this a production unlike anything you've seen before. We've assembled an all-star team — many of which who helped make the EVO2K11 stream one of the most watched competitive gaming events of all time — to ensure this is a production that stays true to what makes the fighting game community so amazing.
If you're ready to see if you've got what it takes, create a video blog detailing why you should be on "Cross Assault". We're not looking for scrubs here so make sure you include footage or proof that you're a seasoned fighting game player who's serious about the game. That said, we're also not just cherry picking top players. We're looking at many other factors such as interesting personalities, comments left on the videos, likes, dislikes - everything!
Once your video is ready submit the URL here: http://www.capcom-unity.com/go/crossassault/signup
You must be at least 18 years of age and a resident of the United States (including the District of Columbia) at the time of application. If you are chosen to participate in the Program, you will be required to show proof of age and residence prior to participation.
So when do we go live with "Cross Assault"? Exact dates will be revealed very soon but you can expect to tune in sometime in late February with the Grand Finals taking place live at Final Round in Atlanta, GA. In the meantime, stay tuned to IPW and Capcom-Unity for all the latest "Cross Assault" developments!"

All I have to say is this:
that chick is kind of hot.
Yeah and as a bonus you can display cinemax on her forehead
Wow, sounds like Jersey Shore for gamers, Great more dumb ass drama.

Why the hostility? I think this is fantastic marketing.
1) It targets the real hardcore audience
2) It uses trusted and reputable mediums with IPW and Team Sp00ky
3) It combines the popular and charismatic names within the community that people usually root for when they watch online streams with finally some good/legitimate gameplay from the title making it informative simultaneously and gives a good picture of how the game will pan out in a competitive setting
4) And just based off the fun I have hearing the more captivating people within the FGC during online streams, seeing them in this kind of setting could be really enjoyable as well.
Plus, I nominate Aris to be the coach of Team Tekken and Mike Watson to be the coach of Team Street Fighter!
I'd pay money to see Aris play this.
@AAK: Im off to class but I will respond to why I think this is a bad idea.
Yeeeuh! Who's excited to play as PACMAN in a fighting game! How about Megaman? He totally fits in this game, right? Fucking gay ... I'm sorry SFxT is just shaping up to be a grave disappointment the more I hear about it ...
