Ono Credits Dimps President for Street Fighter V’s Shorter, Easier Combos

Since their initial reveal, Capcom has reiterated that Street Fighter V will be resetting the playing field established by Street Fighter IV. One way they hope to accomplish that is by completely changing the flow of offense and focusing on shorter strings with lower execution barriers.

In a recent interview with Polygon, producer Yoshinori Ono says one man is to thank for this adjustment, and he doesn’t work at Capcom–well, not anymore, anyways.

Dimps president Takashi Nishiyama is apparently the person who brought the idea to Ono in the first place. Nishiyama previously acted as director on the original Street Fighter during his tenure at Capcom, and then provided assistance on the Street Fighter IV series after joining Dimps.

Ono also noted a “complete shift” in responsibilities during Street Fighter V’s development. While work on Street Fighter IV was almost completely in Dimps’ hands, Capcom has personally handled much of the upcoming title’s creation.

For more of Ono’s insight on Street Fighter V, including character and design choices, be sure to visit Polygon by following the link below.

This F.A.N.G Setup Can Lead to Stun (and Tons of Damage) in Street Fighter V

Street Fighter V officially launches in four days and Bifuteki’s SpabRog is already breaking it…

…okay, not really, but he recently developed a pretty nasty setup for F.A.N.G with Pandora House’s Nando that can lead to stun and, subsequently, some hefty damage. The secret lies in the newcomer’s ability to cancel his Nishikyu (the arcing poison projectiles) into Nikankyaku (the command dash).

As shown in the video above, the setup requires a good amount of meter, the on-screen remnants of an EX Ryobenda (the poison plume), and an opponent willing to block the wrong way on wakeup, but is mighty powerful if all the pieces fall into place.

Of course, getting all that in order could take a bit of doing, not to mention the likelihood of escape options depending on the character, but Spab’s proof of concept should be enough for folks to iterate on. Let us know what you think in the comments.
