Street Fighter X Tekken Gamescom 2010 Interview Katsuhiro Harada Yoshinori Ono

Street Fighter X Tekken Gamescom 2010 Interview Katsuhiro Harada Yoshinori Ono
Tekken X Street Fighter at Gamescom!
Capcom revealed Street Fighter X Tekken at last month's Comic Con, and now it's Namco Bandai's turn to show off

their end of the deal! On August 19th, Namco will be revealing Tekken X Street Fighter at Gamescom in Germany!!!

Series producers Ono & Harada will be going head-to-head yet again, this time in Tekken X Street Fighter... and the

trash talking (all in good fun) has already begun! Below is Ono's statement...

"Our gathering of Street Fighter fans at the special occasion of ComiCon in San Diego was marred when Harada

pathetically attempted to bribe everyone present with free copies of his games." said Yoshinori Ono, Street Fighter

Series Producer, Capcom. "Capcom, however, is an honorable company. We don't just crash other companies' events. So

I've properly notified in advance that I will participate in the TEKKEN fan event planned for GamesCom. Since it is

by invitation of the TEKKEN team, I expect Harada to have various underhanded surprises planned. Knowing this, I

still plan to participate in the event while overcoming any obstacles he may have planned so that I can show them

what a real fighting game is all about. I'll also take with me the shaving oil I received from Hakan and the

shaving razor from Vega so that I can erase that overgrown beard of Harada's, exposing that baby face to go with

his childish actions. It should turn out to be a great party!"

Now it's Harada's turn... these guys crack me up!

"After releasing Street Fighter III: Third Strike in 1999, Ono disappeared from the fighting game scene. Even

though there were many requests for a sequel from fighting game fans, and even veteran fighting game developers

like myself, Ono, Ryu, Chun Li, and crew failed to show their faces for 10 years". said Katsuhiro Harada, TEKKEN

Series Director at Namco Bandai Games Inc. "When they do finally show after a blank of 10 years, they don't even

bother to say a few words to the Mishima Zaibatsu, who helped maintain the fighting game scene for the 10 years

they were gone. Not only that, they flee Japan to have their little gathering of fanboys at ComiCon in San Diego.

So I made a sudden appearance at their little event, handed out a few free games to gain favor, and delivered a

challenge to Ono. Unfortunately, we weren't able to settle things at ComiCon but I'll face him again this time in

Europe - at Cologne! Blows are exchanged in place of civilities - that's how it's done at the Mishima Zaibatsu.


Gamespot just posted a cool video interview with Yoshinori Ono and Katsuhiro Harada from Gamescom (Ono's still in his Chun-li getup). As far as the development of the Crossover Fighters, exact details are scarce but the two devs do talk about how their teams are going about making the upcoming fighters, such as listening to fan feedback and suggestions.

It's really fun to see these two producers from two high profile games spar and interact onscreen via their body language- you can tell they're very comfortable with each other and are good friends... perhaps the one reason how this whole thing was made possible in the first place.

Anyway, there were two significant things I got from the interview. One, apparently Ono has fixated on the still-MIA Jun Kazama and has stated that he wants her to be in his game- a point up for Jun loyalists though (I'm an Asuka fan so whatever). The other is the release date- Ono said that his early prognosis of release in 2 years earned him a scolding from Capcom boss Keiji Inafune, so he and his team will try to get the game out sooner than that. Good to hear.

Check out the whole video interview here.

@seth20011 I agree but, I think this is a decent clash list, Capcom vs Snk 3 is definitely should release, but MK vs Street Fighter, I don't think that will honestly fit. I can see the game, but realistic it doesn't seem right. I don't see Ryu rip Scorpions head out, because of the rating along with the stage scenery.
