3… 2… 1… Shoryuken!

“I’ve been with the Street Fighter brand for a long time, experiencing good times, bad times, and even non-existent times,” Ono said in his statementon Twitteryesterday. “My heart is filled with appreciation to those players who’ve been giving warm and kind support on the brand especially little over the past decade or so as all the activities on the Street Fighter brand regained sunshine and grew its liveliness.”

Ono thanks people he’s worked with, players, the fighting game community, and event staff for all their effort and support over the years. He says he believes Capcom “will continue making Street Fighter extraordinary” without him, and that he “will look forward to seeing the new Street Fighter brand and how it’s going to be expanded, as just one of regular gamers next time around.”
