Yoshinori Ono is no longer the head of Capcom's fighting games division.

So we might actually get a good fighter now?
Anyways, Ono seems like he is a super likable dude and I hope he does well no matter what he ends up doing.

Monster Hunter already has a lot of fighting game DNA in it and certainly its fair share of references to Street Fighter as it is.
Is Tsujimoto still heading up the Monster Hunter team in addition to this? I wonder if he's about to get promoted to being the general manager of all development divisions at Capcom.
They probably hope Tsujimoto can revitalize Street Fighter the way Monster Hunter World turned out.
Monster Hunter world was a mega hit, but I don't understand why you would put even more pressure on him to save he fighting games division as well.
Feel for Ono-san, he did his best but SFV was just too deep a hole to dig put of.

Good, other than being a meme I've never seen stories about him actually doing that isn't blanka figure broken unintelligible english trolling.
Y'all know that this change took place awhile ago, right?
Ono is still the General Manager of the Fighting Game Division.

Yeah, but why the guy who already has his hands full with MH? Was there seriously nobody else in Capcom that could do that job? Its not like Capcom has any other fighters except SF at this point?
I know rumors were swirling for awhile but I never saw it confirmed anywhere.
Capcom is probably just silently shrinking its fighting games division since they haven't seen success from it since like UMVC3 lol
Isn't this old? Thought we already knew this several months ago?
The news were on Capcom's very own site.

Had no idea, then again seems I'm not the only one.
Yes nepotism sucks and it's worse in Japan than anywhere else I've known it but he has done an amazing job with MH.
I think we've known this for a while. I'm not sure why EventHubs is making a big deal out of this now.
The thing is that everyone on this forum likely doesn't have knowledge on how Capcom is doing in terms of ventures like the Capcom ProTour or other SFV related efforts right now (since we know that MvC is pretty much dead atm).
If CPT is doing well for them financially, then yeah, they're probably going to invest more time and effort in doing that.
If for some reason it actually hasn't been despite 3 seasons of trying to do so (and success is pretty nebulous here; we could mean "successful" in terms of giving some kind of benefit or profit, or maybe Capcom's definition of success means "true eSports demographics and numbers").. yeah, SFV is not going to be having fun times ahead, nor any prospects for any other hypothetical projects.
Really twisting the knife, damn.
Given the middling performance for SFV and the potentially franchise-ending shitshow of MvC:i, it makes sense. Still, not having Ono around is going to feel weird given that he's been the face of Capcom fighting games for something like 10 years at this point.
