Ono: Chances of Street Fighter EX 4 are very small, Poison's popularity being considered for future SF titles

Posted by Keyblade

Recently on Twitter Ono has been answering questions involving many things such as the possibilities of brand new fighting games, another installment in the Street Fighter EX series, and even Poison's popularity among the fans. His answers are provided below with the charm of his funny grammar:

Also, in somewhat related news, Capcom announced one of the two games they're unveiling at PAX East is a remake of the Dungeons and Dragons arcade games. Speculation is still abound because Ono said he had plans for the FGC at that event.

Oh wow! I'm not sure we could ever get an Ex 4, unless Arika somehow gets absorbed into them.
Aren't Skullomania and some other EX characters appearing in a game from some Western FGC members if I recall correctly. They seem to have gotten those Arika characters.
I'm all up for it though, if Capcom can get them.

Would be great to have more Poison in the games, and more Akiman art is never too bad. Hmmn, Poison drawn by Akiman.....
Nice.

SSF4 v2013. Add the new Capcom characters from SFxT to the game.

Reuse of existing assets + $10 DLC = Win for capcom

Even though SF EX 4 sounds neat, it won't happen.
Akira was the company that worked on those games to make it. All the original characters like Cracker Jack, Skullomania, etc. are all owned by Akira themselves.
Which is why they never made an outside appearance as playable fighters in anything other than the EX games. It sucks but it's how it is.

Who even want EX4 anyway? The EX Characters are cool (Especially Skullomania), but the series sucked hard. And for a fun fact, if Poison will be in future Sf game, expect Hugo aswell since you can't have Poison without Hugo :P

Some of the RS cast has made it back into Capcom games already from Arika. I think that whole licensing deboggle is over with now. We've seen Batsu in TvC and that crazy rpg thing they making now has a ton of the RS cast and Arika characters I believe.

If he brings in Poison and Hugo to SF4, then Rolento might as well be in it as well, since that completes the major Final Fight character roster. Ono already stated awhile ago that some characters in SF3 will not transition over to SF4 (eg. Q, Twelve). I don't think rebalancing of SF4 is needed for the way it is now, it's perfect. Perhaps more stages, as many people requested, plus 3rd Ultra's for every character, but that can overwhelming. Ryu 3rd Ultra: Hadolectric charge FTW!! == overpowered! but combo scaling will fix that...too many ideas.

I dont think it sucked hard, it was just overshadowed, thats the reason 'Capcom Fighting All-Stars' never came out, because people didnt like the 3d aspect, they wanted 2d but things hav changed now. ..I wouldve loved Capcom Fighting All-Stars, Charlie, Alex AND Strider in the same game, craazzy, jus craaazy

I wouldnt mind an HD CvS2 or Alpha 3(with upper and other modes intact)/Alpha Anthology or maybe Rival Schools as long as they dont do it like how they claimed Darkstalkers was, yea I said it, I played the demo n it look the same to me..if making a remake will take place of a new game then forget it, nobody really plays remakes(except 3S n MvC2,that dhad a good following for a little time around the time it came out)...make new game with a few new characters, maybe add a few of SF4 concept characters, returning SF1 n then Capcoms back in action

Good, nobody wants EX 4 or even Alpha 4 (except the minority, probably the same people who wanted Makoto & Ibuki in SSF4...but dont even use her or have an obsession with wanting other female characters like Mika and Karin). Just bring in SF5

I think alpha 4 would be nice man, I'm a big fan of sf4 and sfxt and think A4 would make things complete in both fan base and for capcom

Additional chars would include
Sodom
Birdie
Eagle
Rolento

Ingrid
Juni
Juli
R mika
Karin
Maki

Those are the cast that came from the alpha series who didn't make it into sf4 that's a nice list to work with and adding air block an maybe a guard break and some new mechanics... Think it would be a semi new fresh game I'm so hoping for this and for it to come out end of next year

That's from a diehard SF fan.

AE update ftw. Take my money.

Finally, he said don't expect SF 5 until around 2020 so people shut the hell up about it. Get used to SF 4, it's here to stay. Just hope for more SF X T exclusive character additions with the recent Rolento mod being discovered.

@30

I'm semi with you, broham. I personally wouldn't mind a SFA4, but it would have to be a sprite based game. Otherwise, it would be too much like SFIV (as far as character roster anyway - Of course the Alpha series plays nothing like IV). And since I truly believe in my heart that Capcom will never return to 2D sprites (which saddens me), I think they should just add the remainder of the Alpha cast, along with the 4 new SF characters in SFxT in a final update to AE2012. AE's roster is 90% A3's roster anyway. That said...

-Poison
-Hugo
-Elena
-Rolento
-Charlie
-Karin
-R.Mika
-Sodom
-Birdie
-Juli/Juni (I guess)
-Eagle
-Maki
-Ingrid

53 characters. That's not bad at all. Also wouldn't be opposed to seeing the remainder of the Final Fight heroes (Big Mike, Carlos Miyamoto, Lucia and Dean) in future SF titles.

Oh these people and their mindless EX hate.

EX was alright (sure nothing special but it is certainly better than some fighting games out there) and the characters were pretty cool and interesting. Would be nice to get some of the EX characters into future SF games (Blair, Sharon, Skullo, just a few of my choices)

I agree with those that think they should ditch SFA4 and just add in the remaining characters to AE, or the highly requested ones at least.

Still, need my Q and Alex + SFxT cast. ;3 *Throws money at the screen to show he means business*

#41
handsofgod's avatar
handsofgod said on March 15, 2013 at 3:31 p.m.

The reason why I don't want to add the remaining chars to sf4 is because I think sf4 is complete the game is so well balanced I think adding chars may push the game into a place where it's not needed.

The pros have shown us how tight things can be and I don't think the hardcore fans who have learnt the game to a good degree would want balance changes v12 is top notch final product.

I would prefer something new by the end of next year I dont want to go back to sf4, I think learning an alpha game would be sick new mechanics will be sick rather than having the added chars to the sf4 game.

I'm happy with a tweaked engine using sf4 as a blueprint sort of what they did ith sfxt with new stuff like air block would be something fresh, fresher than a updated sf4 not to say I don't want a updated sf4 but I would rather a new sf game and doing alpha makes sense fingers crossed.

Street Fighter 3: Round 4

Using SF4 engine, create a game with ALL 3rd strike characters, give it a more anime art style (revamp the engine vastly with new art direction) and add in some new characters along with a few favorites from past games.

Or create SF Alpha 4 doing the same thing. However, i find the 3rd strike cast to be more interesting than the alpha cast. pffft.

It's got to be something to do with alpha just went back to the pic of when Ono tweeted the alpha figures and there was a darkstalkers char behind ryu

I'm guess that was a statement to say they were rereleasing darkstalkers and then something to do with alpha

I would love a new sf game or a new darkstalkers
Wouldn't really care for a alpha3 online but I would buy it
Even if it's a let down I don't mind, I'm content with sf4 sfxt and umvc3 for another 2 years I think.

@Oroku_Saki: "Oh wow! I'm not sure we could ever get an Ex 4, unless Arika somehow gets absorbed into them."

Arika was founded by the co-creator of Street Fighter II and other ex-Capcom employees. They have a close working relationship, which is what enabled the EX series to be made in the first place, and further collaborations are eminently possible.

As a sidebar, most people suggesting that such collaborations are unlikely don't seem to realize that the Street Fighter IV series was mostly outsourced to Studio Dimps...another studio founded by ex-Capcom employees, including the co-creator of Street Fighter.

Amazing how some idiots are asking for Street Fighter 5 already. It's considering how strong it still is in the tournament scene and how relatively fresh it is in many people's minds, it would be a financial disaster.

Like #47 update the games people care about. I'm willing to dish out more money for more characters in SF4 and MvC3.

As much as I want Karin in SF4, I don't think there should be any new characters. Maybe stages, costumes, or music, but there's way too many matchups in AE already. Adding 10 more characters just means you have to learn 10 more for your character.

I wouldn't mind another Rival Schools though. Seriously.

You people need to realize some of the characters you plead for just cannot be done.. Let Karin go, and let Alex go too. I love Alex, but he's not going to be in SF4, it can't be done. Take a lot into consideration... In 3s there was a turn around mechanic, not a lot of you realize this, but the majority of the cast had moves that turned you around, and let throws be comboable. Akuma's RD, and specifically all of Alex's throw except his DDT. Alex needed those. In Tatsunoko he had the turn around did he not? I remember seeing the multiple slam super instead of hyper bomb, or I could be delirious.

Alex in 4 would be a complete waste, he'd be bottom tier... Hakan is almost a clone of Alex, and Hakan doesn't work. :| Stop asking for Alex.

Karin, we know the story... They're not interested in Karin, or she would have been in Xtekken, you guys begged, and begged, and all you got out of the deal was Elena and Rolento.

Let it go...

We've heard them say they don't like Q but he'd actually work nicely in 4. Rog with a command grab would be godlike.

I don't think they will be adding more characters.

@58: your alex argument is the stupidest logic. The only move alex had that turned you around was his HP.flash chop. Who's to say capcom just can't add extra long hit stun to allow throw afterwards. And on top of that, none of the 3s characters play like they did in 3s, yet they're in the game. So yeah...dumb logic
