Unique Tag Introduction

A Unique Tag Introduction is an asthetic feature in Street Fighter X Tekken

Description
In Street Fighter X Tekken most characters are given official partners. Normally when characters are selected characters have their own introductions with small variations depending if they are the front or anchor character. For example, If Ibuki is selected as front she comes down from a puff a smoke and then proceeds to playfully show off her kunai skills after her partner finishes their starting animation. If she is selected as anchor with a partner that is not rolento she is seen with her back turned before the smoke animation plays.

When she and her official partner is selected they are seen together, interacting with each other depending on their dynamic (as seen in the video below.)

In Game
Official partners do not get any unique benefits or negatives in game. The game plays with no unique combination attacks or combination. Banter does switch with official partners compared to generic team mates. An example is, while Ibuki says the name occasionally of her partner while tagging in, including Rolento, instead of saying "Tag Out" she will say to Rolento "Get off your butt and fight". Also when being the one tagged in through Cross Art instead of saying "I'm on it" to a generic partner she says "Let's do this together" to Rolento. Aside from speech there is no difference.

Arcade Mode also is affected. With official partners they get a unique story. When two non partnered characters are chosen a generic story plays at the start. Akuma and Ogre do not have official partners but do have unique endings when they are chosen in arcade mode.
