Community member Dawgtanian lands position with Capcom UK

Community member Dawgtanian lands position with Capcom UK David "Dawgtanian" Hinds has been brought on Capcom UK's staff as their new community manager for Street Fighter X Tekken. This is really awesome news, as it means Capcom has again tapped our community to find a new employee, and it's always nice to have people who have a great love fighting games working for the company that produces them.

Dawgtanian is best known in the Europe scene as he played a mean El Fuerte in the Street Fighter 4 series, but he also discovered a potential use for pandora mode in Street Fighter X Tekken a ways back and documented it for the community to see.

Here's a match from back in 2010 of him up against LLL|Ryan Hart's Ryu.

You can follow Dawgtanian on Twitter and please give him a big congratulations here in the comments for landing a job with Capcom.

Video from NeoEmpire.

Well someone had to break the positive remarks. GokaiGreen... you really had to go there?

Good news though. Like seeing El Fuerte players rise up. Considering what Seth Killian has done were expecting huge things from you as well Dawgtanian!

Congrats I guess.

I would hate to be a community manager for relations with this whiney FGC, especially when you can't tell the read deal behind the curtains and have to spin off some PR and damage control *cough* seth killian

Making negative remarks on anything Capcom related is like a hobby for people.

Anyways, glad to see more members of the community make it big. Best of luck to him.

Hopefully he can help to make a real change and do not end just like another puppet of the company.

There is a lot of things that Capcom needs to get fixed like on disc DLC, DLC costumes packs and DLC characters which have been a total failure and need to stop. I know that he is not probably on an important position for things like that but the first should be to pass the people opinion to his bosses and make sure that what people want is reaching the eyes of the person that can make it happen.

Congratulations and the best luck! please do not end like Snow or Keth Sillian xD...

So are those glasses standard issue for Capcom PR or are they a requirement to get the job? This is important.

@28 Even though I agree with the last part of your statement, you shouldn't become a robot just for money.These people become completely different just for money, and that I don't agree with.

@19
You are basically saying that he should be a tool for you instead of Capcom and you'll pay him with your respect. Or maybe you think everyone in the community shares your opinion?
When you're an employee for a company, you don't talk bad about your company just like you don't talk bad about your family. That's common sense. However, that doesn't mean that Dawtagnian & Seth don't report back actual community concerns to the higher ups. In a way, they're messengers and not decision makers (which are primarily Japanese in Capcom's case). Why do you have to go shoot the messenger?

I have to say i'm shocked to see any negative things said about Dawgtanian. I sent him a email about an El Fuerte and he was very quick to respond and even respond with a video himself. As an obvious fan of his play he was even so humble to be thankful i even mentioned his name in one of my little videos.

Dawgtanian is a very stand up guy and i wish him all the best! Congrats!!!!!

To this day, I still don't understand why people say Max is a Capcom tool. Don't get it; I really don't.

But congrats to Dawgtanian. Assuming he earned it, success should always be congratulated.

SN: I'm curious to know whether or not some of the people commenting about community members becoming mindless slaves of Capcom have ever had a real job were you are actively representing the company you work for.

The sheer amount of ridiculous venom and nonsense spit here is just... Wow. Some of you need to wake the hell up. "Corporate puppets?". "Lose their humanity?". Why? Because they don't jump off a building screaming about how bad a company capcom is in your not-so-humble opinion?

News flash: obviously if they got hired by Capcom, they probably agree with them and genuinely like their products. Max's opinion is moot because he was hired to do one specific project for Capcom? Do some of you freaking hear yourselves? (better yet have you watched his videos after the fact? Oh right, of course not...)

Seriously, stop drinking the haterade, put the controller down for a minute, step into the real world and grow up.
