How sick would it be to build your own Street Fighter character or customize any of the fighters on the roster? I know, right. Series producer Yoshinori Ono shared his vision for next-gen fighting games, specifically Capcom’s fighter, in an interview with Eurogamer.net. Ono had this to say:
“For future titles I want to keep having this concept of, my character is different than your character. In fighting games, the only difference between me and you is how good I am. But what I want to do with fighting games from now on is add in that element of customisation, where I can have a Ryu that’s different than your Ryu, so we can compete on a different level than just our execution…But really the ultimate goal would be to have the players themselves create their own characters to some degree. We call it user created content, or user created design.”
Ono also adds how the next-generation of systems could allow for more detailed attributes during matches and that his development team has exactly what they need to push the boundaries of future titles:
“But I’m a person that puts a lot of focus and attention to the details of the visuals. Fighting games are great to be spectated. The players enjoy it, but people watching can also enjoy them. With the next generation of hardware we can make things better for the spectator in that sense…So maybe the guy’s clothes could get ripped off during the fight. Chun-Li would be like, ‘Oh no!’ There are a lot of things we could do with the graphics to make it look better. But in terms of the basics, we already have a lot of the power we need.”
