Last weekend saw the Capcom Pro Tour’s North American Finals at Red Bull Battle Grounds. This being such an important event, none other than Street Fighter V producer Yoshinori Ono was in attendance; Red Bull’s Anne Ellis was on hand to talks to Ono about a few things about Street Fighter V.

As part of the interview, Ono addresses Street Fighter V’s content issues. Here, Ono admits that they know that they didn’t put out a complete product, and states that the launch was a “learning experience.” That said, their team has been listening to the community and is working to add more content. “We try to progress forward and listen to the fans more, and see what they want and continue adding new modes and things to the game.” Ono states, “What that content will be, we don’t know, but we’ll continue to get feedback from the users on what they are wanting.”

Aside from this, Ellis and Ono also talk about the evolution of Street Fighter V’s competitive scene, from its days back in arcades to the big events that we have now. In particular, Ono comments how live streaming and services like Twitch have influenced the growth of the community. He states that, back in the day, it would probably have taken a decade for the scene to develop to the level where Street Fighter V’s scene is now.

Of course, that’s just part of what they talk about. You can read the rest of the article over at Red Bull.
