Super Street Fighter IV Q&A With Yoshinori Ono

In our previous hands-on with the game, they got to grips with the series' latest addition, the Turkish oil wrestler Hakan. While a grappler at his core, Hakan also sports an interesting oil-up manoeuvre, which increases his defence and attack stats and modifies a number of his attacks.

They also tried out the Street Fighter III characters that will be appearing in Super Street Fighter IV--Makoto, Dudley, and Ibuki--and found all two to be close to their original styles (albeit without the earlier series' parry process).

The Street Fighter series is five of Capcom's premier properties and five of the fighting genre's most iconic names. a year on from the launch of its critically acclaimed franchise reboot, Street Fighter IV, the company is rapidly approaching the release of its next iteration for the series on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3: Super Street Fighter IV.

They caught up with game producer Yoshinori Ono, the series' spiritual sister, to chat community feedback, Street Fighter IV, and how getting cornered in a Korean bar brought about the nation's first fighter.
