Capcom Deputy Head of Consumer Games Development Yoshinori Ono gave a tiny speech before the Ultra Street Fighter IV finals at the EVO 2014 championships today.
Ono jokingly apologized for Street Fighter still being at “Ultra” while the Tekken series is currently at number 7. He went on to say that Capcom are planning the advancement of the Street Fighter series, and asked the crowd for their patience
Few among Capcom’s developers are as well known as Yoshinori Ono, who has basically been the face of the Street Fighter series since IV. Now, he's leaving the company ad the brand.
Not sure if good or bad. SFIV was amazing, Capcom had a winner there they should have supported it. SFV is Ok. Fighting games are a niche thing, so they try to incorporate as much people as they can, but when the game is so basic and easy to execute, it becomes boring after a while. A good fighting game is a hardcore game.
What I want from Capcom for the future is another Alpha, with the same amazing art style and animation (that's key) but Hardcore don't make it accessible... if you want to be good, learn it.
Street Fighter V improved a lot from launch, but it really tainted the franchise for me. Maybe some new leadership will mean a better game next round from Day One.
He’ll be an asset wherever he goes. The last street fighter presentation was fantastic and makes it seem like replacing him was a good move though.
Not a bad Executive Producer, a pretty goofy dude, at least he didn't push his own personal agenda on people like Naughty Dog have, and if he did, it was subtle. Ono knew how to separate his personal feelings from business, I think he did well. His demeanor strongly indicates how he feels every time he's on stage, but it didn't exactly manifest itself in games in a pushy way, it was subtle and I appreciate that from him.
An interview on the lessons learned from Street Fighter's latest entry.
I feel like Street Fighter 4 and 5 were just a rehash of old characters that also became paid DLC. Are they good games? Yes. Street Fighter will never be the same unless they bring back the arcade style feel(stop just thinking of EVO players), stop reusing old characters other than Ryu/Ken and maybe chun li. Capcom needs to Evolve Street Fighter with all new characters like Street Fighter 3 did before. Bring back a cel-shaded yet upgraded art style. Street Fighter 2 will always be the peak of this series.

Capcom please excite me!
Capcom better be lucky they have Street Fighter to fall back on, given their current financial status otherwise they would be up shit creek.
Good news for fighter fans all over the world. Hope it impresses,given how disappointing capcom have been
Probably a CGI trailer.
Capcom please learn from your mistake of the past ,release this game to be a finish product no super, ultra , arcade edition bs
