I was under the impression he had left Crapcom around the time dead rising 2 came out… but this (translation posted by a tranny) calls him “the head of the MegaMan department”…. I wonder if it’s not just that the guy who still works there keeps in touch with Inafune, and the machine translation has confused the hell out of things
It ceased to be a classic 2d fighting game franchise after 3rd Strike. I never played SF4. Aside from the forced 3d graphics, the combo mechanics looked gimmicky and somewhat automated in comparison to the timed and technical button/joystick execution needed in 3rd Strike that made it feel you were honing a craft every time you played it. It was the end of an era I wasn't ready for. Shortly after SF4 came out, our arcade of 30+ years closed and I wasn't about to start playing fighting games online.
The man is redeeming himself somewhat with this. I still haven't forgiven the entirety of Capcom for allowing Street Fighter 5 to exist.

Point being: fuck crapcom lol
Everything after 3rd Strike is an abomination
I know SF3 3rd Strike is revered, but what was wrong with SF4?

He says about the game filled to the brim with one frame links.
If you think SF4 wasn't technically demanding then you are speaking from a position of profound ignorance.
Fair enough. I miss pinball dearly for the same reason.
It's made somewhat of a comeback lately, but it's nowhere near the same phenomenon it was before 2000.
The games themselves kick ass today, though. If you find one, play it.
