EVO: Capcom’s Seth Killian on PSN Street Fighter III, Street Fighter X Tekken

[Commander Fury]

Capcom's fighting-game renaissance surges forward like an EX Hadoken. This August sees the long-awaited PSN release of Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition, followed by <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/marvel-vs-capcom-3">Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3</a> in November and <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/street-fighter-x-tekken/">Street Fighter X Tekken</a> in 2012. I caught up with Capcom's Strategic Director of Online & Community Seth Killian at <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/evo/">EVO</a>, the world’s biggest fighting game tournament, to get the latest updates on all three games.

 

Killian did me one better, discussing Capcom's evolving view of community engagement and sharing his analysis of Noah "<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/07/31/eight-year-old-noah-brings-the-pain-to-pro-players-at-evo-2011//">The Prodigy</a>," the eight-year old Marvel vs Capcom 3 competitor who captured the imagination of <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/evo/">EVO</a> attendees when he outmatched much older players to place among the competition's top 64 finalists.
