And Capcom seems *really* hands-off with SF on anything outside of serving the core Japanese player base, so I could all too easily see them just rolling with anything the Hollywood execs say because they "clearly" know the American audience better.
Show PostSpeaking purely from the gut: you make the movie because you think the nostalgia of people who have fond thoughts of the 90s can make a profit, especially after those Mortal Kombat movies did okay and "that's clearly also been dead for years, because otherwise you'd have heard about it in the news".
Show PostMy assumption is that some decision-makers on this are people who knew SF from fucking around in the arcade or on a friend's SNES, and never got *into* it into it enough to follow the revival, so just assume it's been dead for over 20 years. Like how people think of Pac-Man.
Show PostVery high on a list of my favorite people (the list also includes my wife and child)
Show PostThere's a lot of talk about old fans wanting the simplicity of base -> map transition, instead of the chapter in-between work we do, but I don't think it's wrong to want that. I also don't think the current structure is bad, but I feel skipping half the game isn't fun to me, personally.
