Videogames.com overview:

Atari's Tenth Degree, originally Juko Thread, was to combine the elements of the Tekken and Street Fighter style fighting games with an emphasis on speed. Videogames.com got a chance to see Tenth Degree in its early stages, and even played a few rounds on the arcade machine. The characters were designed in a 3D anime style, with both male and female fighters available. In the early stages, developers were discussing having a super deform mode and some other surprises as well. The characters would have had a variety of fighting styles, all designed under the creative awning of James Goddard, who worked on Capcom's Street Fighter series as well as on Namco's Weapon Lord among others.

WHAT HAPPENED?
As stated in a GameSpot news story, Atari Games cited the poor state of the fighting market as the reason why Tenth Degree was canceled. "We couldn't foresee selling a large enough volume to continue development," Atari's Derryl DePriest told us.
