Street Fighter X Tekken producer Yoshinori Ono confirmed to GameSpot today that the gem system'which has been hinted at in previous weeks'will go further than simple costume changes, and will let players tweak individual characters and how they actually play. Ono said traditionally with fighters, characters are exactly the same, with the only thing separating players of the same skill being the ability to read a competitor (and a little luck). The gem system will drastically change this, letting players customise their characters so they are no longer straight clones, Ono said.
