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

I cannot help but feel blessed beyond what any creator could possibly deserve.

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.

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.

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.

Well then, day after tomorrow is EVO 2015’s Grand Finals,
