According to reports and rumors:

One game is Street Fighter x Tekken (SF "cross" Tekken) that plays as 3D models in a 2D plane. Play style similar to SF4, with the Tekken characters either gaining projectiles or modifications to their moves to destroy/break through projectiles.

The other game is Tekken x Street Fighter (Tekken "cross" SF). This one would convert the Street Fighter characters into full 3D for a more Tekken-style game. There are nearly no other details on this game.

Which company works on which game is in Marik's post.

Capcom is developing Street Fighter X Tekken and Namco developing Tekken X Street Fighter. Nothing is really known about Tekken X Street Fighter at this time.

Famitsu.com interviewed Ono.

Development on the game began just one or two months prior, said Ono, although they began real discussions about the project with Namco Bandai about one year back.

Getting into the game itself, the site asked Ono what we can expect as far as characters go. Ono would only mention the characters who were shown in the demo session: Chun-Li, Ryu, Kazuya and Nina. However, he added that they're currently thinking about putting in the early generation characters from each franchise.

Detailing the gameplay, Ono said that the staff is thinking about making the game 2 on 2. He joked that for someone his age, Marvel vs Cacom's 3 on 3 fights is just too much.

The basics of 8-way lever and 6 button input system won't change. However, Ono said that he'd like to add something that he referred to as an "assist" feature. He said the iPhone version of SFIV has somewhat of an answer to this desire -- a feature that lets players feel that they were able to do tough moves.

Regarding a release time frame, Ono said that the target is to release the game two yeas after its announcement. He expects the next time frame for a major announcement to be next year's Captivate (a Capcom private event held every April in America). The reason for such an early announcement at Comic-Con was because Capcom wanted to do something for the fans.

Most of Ono's comments concerned just the Capcom side of the tie-up. This version will likely come out first, said Ono.

Development on the two sides are being handled completely separate of one another. In fact, the staff has agreed to not share information between the teams. The Capcom side will be doing their own designs for the Namco Bandai characters, and the Namco Bandai side will be doing their own designs for the Capcom characters. They're also working separately on the gameplay side.

Ono joked that the Namco Bandai team would be none-the-wiser if the Capcom designers made Nina appear in the game naked, and likewise for Chun-Li in the other version. He also joked that they're interested in seeing which version will get rewarded a Platinum score in Famitsu.
