Let’s face it: Street Fighter X Tekken just wouldn’t be Street Fighter X Tekken without at least one game-breaking bug. This was probably Capcom’s thought process when it launched the latest patch, which introduces a glitch that freezes the game whenever Rolento’s knife hits an opponent’s fireball.
