It’s all Seth’s fault!!!

Capcom may be closing the door for good on future Street Fighter projects, according to Ono who recently attended this year’s Toronto Fan Expo in Canada. Apparently 66% of the company strongly feels that they should not allow the franchise to continue. This news may come as a bit of a shock given the frequency of tournaments held throughout the globe, including the epic annual events like Evolution and Super Battle Opera. How could Capcom be possibly be thinking of throwing in the towel? Perhaps it’s related to the alarming rate of preowned Street Fighter 4 discs returned by mainstream players? I don’t think so — especially when subsequent reports have hinted of SFIV Dash (the equivalent of Championship Edition rumored to feature Dee Jay, T. Hawk and a few other fan-picked characters) is in the works and may debut this Winter.

It’s too early to speculate what the future holds in store for Street Fighter, but I am sure this won’t be the last time we see Ryu and co. in the digital realm.
