The announcement was made by Super Street Fighter producer, Yoshinori Ono during the recent Comic-Con event held at San Diego, California. According to him, “This is history we're making. Two fighting games that have rivalled each other are finally standing on the same stage. This isn't just a showdown between Tekken and Street Fighter, but a decisive battle for Capcom and Namco Bandai Games. So I'm going to give it my all.”
