Yoshinori Ono taking a break from work
Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono landed in the hospital not too long ago. Ono felt ill and fainted at the Asian launch event for Street Fighter X Tekken.
Ono is out of the hospital, but he says that he’ll be taking a break from his responsibilities.
Ono told fans on Twitter,
“I caused you so much worry for a while. I went back to work. [The Street Fighter] team are working wholeheartedly on patches for SF X TK. Please wait just a little longer.
“I apologise for that. And thanks for a lot of get-well messages! I’ll refrain from work [on my] current job for a while. Another person [is] in charge of the SF series for a while. Of course I’ll [give] constant support to it.
“I’ll be out of the limelight [of] fighting game series for a while. I’ll think about the new future of fighting games after this.”
The patch Ono is referring to will address a bug with online battles. While fighting others, some of the game’s sound effects simply do not play.
