A real visionary. And surprisingly humble.

Yeah. He is also the man behind the development of the well-known series, Street Fighter IV. Kinda funny huh? He started the original SF1 game and he even talks about how it was his destiny that 20 or so years later the SFIV title gets handed down on his responsibility.

Not only that, he initiated the Capcom vs SNK series as well. Mind blowing... this guy has my utmost respect. Had it not been for this game, Capcom might not be the way it was today.

Im surprised that Fatal Fury is technically the predecessor of Street Fighter 2. Not only that, but he introduced the concept of a CvS crossover? Im impressed.

This is a really interesting thing to read. It's always nice to know the story behind one good game creator.

The main reason I thought it was a good idea is it was very difficult to sell new arcade games in China, Central America, and South America because of piracy. By creating a hardware system with cheap software, we were able to sell a lot of games even in pirate-heavy markets, and I think that was one of the main factors that led to SNK's success.

That explains why KOF is popular in South America.

Mr. Tsukamoto, our director who worked on this title, lost about 10 kilograms during its development, and he's not a particularly big man to begin with -- maybe 60kg or so. Mr. Ono and our development team clashed a lot and it was a very stressful title, especially for Mr. Tsukamoto. But Capcom was the client so he had to try to satisfy them as best he could while trying to motivate Dimps' development team.

oh ono

Playing Fatal Fury 1 is very interesting if you consider it as a spiritual sequel to Street Fighter 1 as opposed to a SF2 clone (which it wasn't, but how many people percieved it).

This article was a great read.
