Hadouken: Ono-san Talks Street Fighter X Tekken Mechanics

The smarty-pantses at Eurogamer sat down with Street Fighter X Tekken producer Yoshinori Ono to get the scoop on how exactly the bold new crossover is supposed to work.

Ono-san talks all about the transition from SFIV to the world of “Cross,” including characters, mechanics, merging the “feel” of the games into a cohesive experience, and how the heck those crazy Tekken kids will be able to compete with the unbeatable Street Fighter crew (kidding!).

Hadouken: EventHubs Interviews Our Own Christian Svensson (aka Sven)

Website EventHubs recently interviewed our own vice president of strategic planning and business development, Christian Svensson. Many of you may know him as the guy (along with s-kill) who responds to most questions in our Ask Capcom forums under the Capcom Unity name of Sven.

The interview has got some pretty good information, especially in regards to Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 and the importance of community:

EventHubs: You post frequently on the Capcom-Unity boards. You’re one of the few vice presidents in the console game realm that do this, why is being so hands on with the community important to you?

Svensson: Since coming to Capcom, I’ve viewed our fans as one of the assets that sets this company apart from most of its competitors. And I’ve looked at how that community was interacted with in the past… which is to say, it wasn’t. And in spite of not being directly engaged by Capcom, the fans still loved our products, brands and characters. (cont’d in the full article)

For the rest of Christian’s interview, check out the complete article here.

Thanks Toshin!
