Haunts and Combofiend officially hired by Capcom USA

It was recently announced on the Capcom Fighters stream that Neidel "Haunts" Crisan and Peter "Combofiend" Rosas have officially joined the crew over at Capcom USA to help out on the community side of things.

This is big news as both of these people are heavy advocates and supporters of the current fighting game community. Both of them have a long history with fighting games and this hire shows a lot of promise.

Leave your thoughts below in the comments along with your congratulations for Haunts and Combofiend.

Dis Gon B Gud.

#11, whatever they decide to implement, you'll still blame it for your losses, so don't even worry about it.

Does that mean combofiend won't be able to participate in tournaments anymore?

Sometimes when I see Haunts name I think Honzo Gonzo... don't know why.
Either way these guys won't be anything other than figure heads.

#16

rakuko said on December 8, 2012 at 9:12 p.m.

oh awesome, good on both of 'em.

@14: didn't Seth just not participate in tournaments because it got in the way of his duties?

gohan16ken said on December 8, 2012 at 9:36 p.m.

Was this really the second special announcement? The entire SF25th Anniversary was a complete disappointment. Most SF fan are not hardcore or tournament players so having a massive tournament does not give us any excitement. The SF25th Anniversary Collection was geared towards new fan or overly obsess fans. Most fans already have all the 4 games and many, like myself, already had it on both system. So, I am not going to pay $150 for music and duplicate games. Capcom should have created a new game like they did for SF15th. I have been a long time supporter of Capcom but there recent actions is given me doubts. SF25th was not special to me.

Neidel "Haunts" Crisan macks on underaged girls on camera. They going to hire Aris too?

Combo is I guess a homophobe or something, but that's OK.

Great news. Hopefully he'll still be able to go to tournaments, though. Love this guy, and love watching him play.

DR_Jam said on December 11, 2012 at 11:25 a.m.

On one hand, I'm glad for Combo if that's what he wants at this moment in his life.
On the other, I fear he will become another censored snobbish PR puppet-head, who thinks he is cool because people actually like the games that he has little to no input on the making and greatness whatsoever.
