I am so very grateful that even today 7 years after its release, so many people are playing Street Fighter IV.

Looking back, we started drafting plans with Nishiyama-san who worked on the original Street Fighter 1, and the team came to being in 2015.

This means that the oldest members of the team have stuck with me for over 10 years.

In my 20 some odd years at Capcom this is the first time I have ever worked with the same team this long.

Also, it didn’t even cross my mind at that time that Street Fighter IV would go on for this long of a run.

I would like to equally express my sincere gratitude to all of Street Fighter IV’s players and R&D staff.

Street Fighter IV also evolved in order to keep up with this technology.

However, the universal way of being for the FGC is, after all, “tournaments.”

If anything, the spirit and climate of “tournaments” is what I, both personally and as a Capcom employee,

want to continue to support to the best of my ability.

I believe that the CAPCOM Pro Tour is also plays a role in this.
