December 26, 2007 in Previews comments 3

James Mielke over at 1up recently interviewed Daigo Ikeno, the art director and character designer for the recently announced Street Fighter IV.

Topics brought up include the following:

  • Character Design - the simplicities along with the reinventions, including the move to 3D
    --- Subtopics: Ryu and Ken, Chun-Li and Cammy
  • Ikeno's own art style and his works
  • Ikeno's artworks in 3D

    If you've heard of Daigo Ikeno, you probably don't need a lot of explanation for what he's done. For those who haven't, he's been one of Capcom's staple artists in recent years (check out his art from previous games scattered throughout this story), and has now turned his attention to Street Fighter IV. As part of our four weeks of Street Fighter IV coverage, we sent Ikeno a series of questions via email. Here's what he had to say.

    1UP: Please start by introducing yourself, and give us a little info. as to what you do at Capcom.

    Daigo Ikeno: After entering Capcom, I was able to create artwork for the Street Fighter series as well as working on art and character design in series like Darkstalkers and Devil May Cry. I was the guy in charge of visuals on Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. This time around, with Street Fighter IV, I'm acting as character designer as well as art director, supervising the model creation process.

      He doesn't even know if Cammy's registered to be in this game? He stated something like '...if Cammy's going to be featured in this game.' That would suck, she's one of my best characters, only second to Ken.

      I personally never played with Cammy, but my real favorite character is Akuma. No offense to ryu or Ken i like playing with them, but they have nothing against Akuma. I also like Gen just as much as Akuma.

      Cammy is pretty good, but I'd rather go with Ryu though instead.

      I don't see why they wouldn't include her in the game.
