GameSpy caught up with Street Fighter 4's lead producer, Yoshinori Ono, and asked him a few questions about the upcoming game.
Nothing really earth shaking here, pretty much just recaps what you may already know, although there are a few small nuggets of new information.
Here's a quote.
GameSpy: I was reminded of Guy from the Street Fighter Alpha series while playing with El Fuerte. Have you gotten that impression a lot?
Yoshinori Ono: That's definitely not your imagination. We actually thought about Guy when we were making this character. The thing with the Alpha series is that overall it's a very fast game. Much faster than Street Fighter II, right? So Guy had all these cool moves, but the game was so fast that it wasn't really easy to use him to his full potential. The idea behind El Fuerte, in a slower game, is to let you use moves similar to what Guy has in his toolbox, but allow you to use them strategically.
