Hidetoshi Ishizawa (Neo G) has left SNK

[Mugy]

Neo G, one of the main combat designers for games such as Marvel .vs Capcom 2, Tatsunoko .vs Capcom, Marvel .vs Capcom 3, SFIII: Third Strike, and a lot more, plus others Capcom game's such as Devil May Cry 4 (he left Capcom in 2016), has left SNK. Key designer in the recent reboot of the Samurai Showdown series, he admits that he has nothing to do with the Day-1 DLC patch that integrates new characters

Such a brilliant man, whish him the best!

 

[Instant Vintage]

Neo G going to compete at EVO is a total surprise.

Hats off to him and I wish him the best!

 

[King Dodongo]

Why is he leaving?
A man of such talent. Grateful for what he has done, most recenty for the new Samurai Shodown game which looks amazing.

 

[Mugy]

I don't know japanese, but i'll ask him, maybe he can reply in english? :P. Anyway, i hope someday he goes back to Capcom and do either Marvel .vs Capcom 4, or Capcom .vs SNK 3!

 

[Yukari]

Go back Capcom?

 

[Deleted member 8752]

That's a phenomenal resume. Wow. What a loss.

 

[Deleted member 679]

Capcom pls

 

[Vespa]

What a legend, I wonder where he's off to.

 

[Magneto]

CAPCOM PRESENTS

MARVEL COMICS

MARVEL VS CAPCOM 4 : WE'RE BACK BAYBEE

On a more serious note, he's a legend. Marvel vs Capcom 3 wouldn't be that good without him. I hope everything will be alright for him.

 

[Deleted member 5621]

Thread title made me go "Oh no, what happened!?" but then I saw that he is going to compete and... dude is probably pretty happy with his work so it's fine.

 

[JEH]

Come back home.

Go back Capcom?

I'm pretty sure he could go to ASW if they have need for someone of his skills. Capcom aint exactly doing shit with fighting games right now as far as we know right now. They pretty much only output street fighter these days now that marvel aint a thing right now.

 

[Deleted member 17627]

This feels so weird, he only got to work on two fighting games (three, if you count SNK Heroines), and it's barely been three years since he started working at SNK. You would think with Samurai Shodown having not even released yet, he would want to stick around at least a little bit longer.

It's cool that he'll be competing in tournaments, but I do wonder who he'll work for next. The only people that really make 2D fighters any more are Capcom and Arc System Works, and he already worked at and left the former.

 

[RumHam]

I doubt him competing at EVO is a serious thing. It's probably more just for fun. I'd be surprised if he doesn't already have another company/project lined up.

Yeah i think the same, pretty much. I wanna sea where he go next

 

[Ardiloso]

I knew it he wouldn't last long. He have always seem out of place at SNK.

 

[XrossExam]

Capcom, bring this man back for MVC4.

 

[Finaika]

A shame, Samurai Shodown is incredible.

What will happen to KOFXV tho?

 

[Yunyo]

Damn that was kind of a quick sojourn. I wonder where he'll end up next.

 

[JusDoIt]

MvC4 AND SFVI, lesgo.

 

[Mur2thetaugh]

 

[SpaceCrystal]

I wish him the best. I was hoping that he didn't have to leave SNK so soon.

 

[Deleted member 22405]

God, what a resume, wish we could find out why he left. Good luck to his future endeavors.

 

[maks]

Fantastic resume. Would like to see what he could do at a startup type company with alot more creative freedom.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Now that Itsuno is making Dragon's Dogma 2 (probably) it's time to return to Capcom

 

[Quad Lasers]

Well that was fast.

 

[Doctrine Dark]

Was not expecting this. Wonder who he'll join next.

 

[Finaika]

Return to Capcom and make SNK vs Capcom: SVC Chaos 2 pls.

 

[TreIII]

Aww. Really was hoping he would've headed up some new IP at SNK, next (which SNK sorely needs).

But wherever he goes next, I'll be keeping an eye out.

 

[Modest_Modsoul]

I kinda hope he's involved with the new future KoF... : /

 

[Virtua Sanus]

This is a huge loss for SNK. Kinda has me worried about what is going on behind the scenes.

 

[mrmickfran]

Capcom misses you

I miss you

 

[Dynamite Cop]

Capcom is trash now, not even he can save it's mediocre fighters.

He should enjoy retirement tbh.

I wonder if he just joined as a sort of Bucket List thing?

 

[Nome]

Options probably fully vested, lol. Get that Chinese money.

 

[Subconian Dreamer]

Sega gonna pick him up for Fighters Megamix revival
