It looks like it's the all Seth Killian day on EventHubs, with yet another story featuring Capcom's Community Manager. D-Toid: EVO's line up has really changed over the past ten years. 2009's roster consisted of SF IV, TvC, MvC2, SF3: 3rdS, SSF2T:HD, and SC4. How did you determine which games would be available for tournament play?
Seth: Most organizations start with whoever will pay them money, and then put that game into a competition. For us, the lineup is determined by the community. We just look to see which fighting scenes are really pulling together, and showing a lot of committed players. Sometimes we take a smaller game and try and “reward” the efforts of an up-and-coming or newly revived scene with a place on the big stage, but ultimately it’s up to the players themselves to represent themselves.
D-Toid: How about the rumor that Street Fighter 4: Championship Edition being currently in the works? If you were a betting man, would you wager for or against the legitimacy of such reports?
Seth: I am a (mostly) reformed gambler, but I have the inside line on that question, so it would be, um, dishonest for me to bet. You haven’t heard the last of Street Fighter — that much is for sure.
