« SUPER WILL BE THE LAST GAME IN THE STREET FIGHTER 4 SERIES »

In an interview with Yoshinori Ono conducted by OXM UK, the game's producer is asked if CAPCOM will continue to produce more updates within the Street Fighter 4 series.  He mentions Super Street Fighter 4 is the last in the series, and if there should be any updates, it will be via DLC. He feels any fully packaged retail updates beyond the current game will only cater to the hardcore audience. Oh yeah, he also takes a shot at Daigo too -- this guy!

One of the top players, Daigo, has gone on record saying that the game is defensive because backdash is too strong and that Street Fighter IV needs guardbreak. What are your thoughts on that?

So I understand Daigo has a strategy of where he fires hadouken and attacks as soon as the opponent reacts to it. But obviously, we're not all Daigo and we can't all play like him. He's a particularly offensive player and active player but what I wanted to convey is Street Fighter IV is not just an instinctive game. It's also an intelligent game, where you have to really think what the opponent might do based on your reactions. So when you don't know what to do, just step back and think for a bit. Plan out your strategy and then make a move.
