He respects Virtua Fighter the most.
Mike Holmes 14 February 2012

Yosuke Hayashi, the head of Team Ninja (the studio responsible for Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive), has said he would be interested in creating a crossover beat-em up like Street Fighter X Tekken.

Speaking to Edge, Hayashi talked about his affection for Sega's iconic fighting series: "The first 3D game I played was Virtua Fighter, that's the IP I respect most. Virtua Fighter was the father of 3D gaming, so it's very well respected."

He also spoke about possibly teaming up with Sega and creating a crossover title: "In terms of collaboration titles, there are staff on our team who just love fighting games and if there was any chance to do that we'd actively, possibly do that."

The possibility of a collaboration would have many fans salivating. Will it become a reality? Only time will tell.
