GN Version 5.0

Coming from Street Fighter producer, Yoshinori Ono...

“The first character I played was Chun-Li. I naturally gravitated toward playing a female character. At the time you had Metroid, with Samus Aran, but only the hardcore players actually knew that Samus was female. The whole idea of playing this beautiful—well, I say ‘beautiful,’ but looking at her now, it’s a 16-bit graphic, not that pretty now, but at the time—there’s this well-endowed woman with a beautiful body and I get to play as this character. Not only that, her moves are not that hard: All I have to do is bang on the buttons really hard and she does her lightning-legs attack. I felt like you didn’t have to be that good, you could just play with passion.”
