Street Fighter X Tekken will let you use the Vita as a controller for the PS3 version

When Street Fighter X Tekken comes to the Vita later this month it will bring with a neat new way to play the game on the Playstation 3.

Cross-Link, announced during Capcom's New York Comic Con panel this week, allows owners of both the PS3 and Vita version of the game to use the PS Vita as a controller while playing the game on the PS3.

When playing with the Vita as a controller, gamers can use the touchscreen and rear touch panel to play the game. That means swiping to pull off some moves and specials.
