Does that include the Midori Yuasa part? Dusk Golem said it probably was her. But since he said himself that he isn't great with names, it'd be nice to have clarification.

So much Ono hate, Jesus. Put some respect on his name. Yes there were some debacles but every auteur has em . SF4 was glorious, and as much as people complained Sfv was barebones at launch, it was fun as hell and one of my most played games this gen. It ended up being quite good. I'm all for new devs but the Ono should retire, fuck Ono vitriol is so OD.
In what world is "Probably her, I'm bad with names but she fits the criteria of what I heard" being "pretty sure"?

Doesn't sound that different to me. Then again, I was on my phone, so I couldn't type as much or double-check as quickly.
The way these cycles go, Resident Evil will probably be gone again by the time Golden Age Street Fighter is back.
But we'll still have Monster Hunter riding the crest of its wave.
We didn't know why.
Technically we still don't know why since this rumor is not confirmed. This thread is not about the what but the why.
I get that and wish him nothing but the best on a personal level. From a professional standpoint, however, it's pretty clear that Ono wasn't a good fit to be in charge of the fighting game division regardless of how passionate he is about SF and its community, so I can't really feel bad for him getting demoted. He still occupies a pretty high-ranking (and well paid) position at Capcom after his demotion, one that plays a lot more to his strengths as a hype man and community manager/advocate. The man is still eating good and doing a lot of what he likes in his new role.
The bigger issue though is that Ono was demoted in 2016 from General Manager of Division 2 to General Manager of Management of Division 2 and SF Business Department etc. all away from actual development. And they've slowly been removing roles from him ever since to now, as of March 2020, just being eSports Executive Producer.
Holy shit. Doubt Ono will ever get any lead development/producer roles after this.
It's crazy catching up on this stuff in the last couple of days. Actually understanding how and why sf5 Was exclusive. I don't even blame Sony any more. It was Capcom incompetence that caused that exclusivity deal.
streetfighter holds such an importance to me. Capcom are killing it though and it's gutting. this news about sf6 is upsetting :(

Polygon Pictures was the one who did the cinematics of Street Fighter X Tekken. They are only known to make commercials or shorts but were somehow the developers of Street Fighter V for the first few years of development. It's beyond puzzling
Long story short, Ono knew people at an animation studio that's never made a game before and got them to make realistic looking SFV initially and several years later it was scrapped making them miss next gen launch and forcing them to go exclusive with Sony.
I'd like to know why too. But it's just not adding up to me that he would be the director of SF6 if he was demoted in 2016, the year SF5 came out.
Yeah let's give Ono a break, I mean he only fucked up every project he was on after SF4 and was seemingly going to ruin another one before he got demoted. But we should ignore that because he made my favourite fighty game 10 years ago and I like it when he goes 'ERRYBODY SHORRYUKEN!!!'.
Unless they fuck up with RE8, Pragmata and Itsuno project they are still back for at least 2 more years.
For real, they shoud've demoted him after Deep Down failure and SF V launch and start with new talent.
It's not like Capcom does not have capable directors or they can't hire them from elsewhere.
C'mon man, lets be fair, he was fucking up projects before SF4, too and almost completely ended fighting games at capcom.
That's the thing, huh ? When things are good, one people is responsible, when they're not, he obviously doesn't work alone !
I have only one take away from this... stop putting the word infinite in your title. It's like a development curse after seeing MvC: Infinite, Bioshock Infinite and whatever the hell I saw when looking at Halo Infinite. Eternal seems fine but even Doom had some issues on the music side 😋
Ah yes, try as I must I just can't forget such gems as Capcom Fighting Jam. More you think about it the more it seems like SF4 was a fluke tbh
What's in Blanka's pocket today? Seven months of silence!
Do we need a new Street Fighter each gen?
There's a constant stream of content so it feels almost too much when that continues into the next gen, and I believe that helps contribute to burn out and lower sales.
I'd rather they released a definitive edition of the previous gen's SF at the start of the new generation and then focus on a different fighting series throughout that following period.
So basically a new Street Fighter every 2 gens and a different fighter as the focus in between. Genuinely think this would help the long term sustainability of the series but appreciate the hardcore crowd want something new often as well.

It was, and I think it's more due to DIMPS aka SF1gang than ONO
Yeah most assuredly. DIMPS certainly don't get the credit they deserve.
I'm not sure you get the importance of Street Fighter and a new one regularly. Yes it's needed.
Yes, I do think we need a new one. Capcom has only made 2 fighting games this gen, both were failures with SFV saving face years after launch. SFV is in a dramatically better place now than when it came out, but there is still plenty that can be changed and improved not even counting new ideas for systems within the game play. All of this doesn't even take into account the expanding online fighting community that Capcom struggles to be a part of because SFV has iffy net code and the game was programmed in a way that prevents them from fundamentally changing that.
I feel like demotions is something most western companies wouldn't do. And I actually think that's a real problem. (Especially when it's BioWare). However I also get that it's Japanese culture to demote someone make them feel miserable and so they quit on their own rather than being fired, which I've read is a common strategy due to legal reasons. So no winners.
If it wasn't for that, I also get the stigma of being demoted, like you're a director, your teams look up to you and suddenly you're told "no, you aren't good enough, start designing levels with the rookies again" but honestly if you ever were to hope for a genuine meriotocracy, that's how it should work. That's also why more flat structures are better, where no one is seen as the "better guys", but then you wouldn't have a director and... I'm rambling but look, company development is hard and IMO in an undesireable place on both fronts.

dang sad to hear but I am fine with them pushing it back as long as it isn't barren in content like SFV was at launch
The last time Street Fighter skipped a generation 2D arcade fighters faded into obscurity.
So yes.
I hope not, since I think SF could benefit greatly from a visual shakeup. A lot of people are against hyper real character models for SF but I think it could work. Or at least a different cartoonish visual style than the one we've seen ever since SFIV.
Or follow my idea: turn it into a JRPG. Ryu learns shoryuken at level 5, this game writes itself!
But will old man one-arm Ryu be in Street Fighter 6?
People are mentioning that Ono had been making screw ups before SF4, what were those exactly?

It's not only short and commercials, they've been doing lots of Anime with Netflix, Series like Knights of Sidonia and Ajin, Movies like Blame and a Godzilla Trilogy.
They also worked on lots of Transformers series and Star Wars The Clone Wars and other things these those IPs.
Yes. We especially need a Street Fighter that isn't SF5 lol
And it's coming from someone who appreciate SF5. But it's still one of the most boring Capcom fighting games ever. I prefer to play Marvel vs Capcom Infinite rather than 5. (Infinite looks ugly as hell and has a shit roster, but is super fun to play)
