Let’s not forget that Capcom took a very long break between the releases of Street Fighter III and Street Fighter IV, and for good reason.Īs mentioned in PART ONE, Capcom struggled to break even on the money they had invested with Street Fighter III. I believe Yoshinori-san described it perfectly.

Yoshinori-san with his favorite Blanka figurine Yoshinori Ono, Street Fighter Franchise Producer “ Street Fighter 4 was about reviving a passion…” The Second Trilogy: Street Fighter 4-6 (2008-?)

In PART ONE of this two-part series, we explored the early beginnings of the Street Fighter Franchise.
