Capcom’s Christian Svensson On Seth’s Departure and Capcom’s Continued Relationship With the Fighting Game Community

by d3v on June 20th, 2012 at 8:45 am

With the announcement that Seth Killian would be leaving Capcom at the end of this week, many longtime fans and players have expressed their worry that this would negatively affect Capcom’s relationship with the fighting game community. We addressed these fears via a post on their “Ask-Capcom” section on Capcom-Unity, and this is what Capcom Senior VP Christian Svensson (otherwise known as Sven) had to say:

Suffice to say, there are many people who work with the FGC within Capcom, not just Seth (though he was the person who provided the entre and was by miles the most visible and vocal). We also are continuing to discuss how we continue to keep channels of communications as open as Seth has… but I have nothing to report in terms of details at this time.

Also, Seth is still in the FGC… and we still have a relationship with Seth of course.

<3 Seth

So, while nothing concrete has been announced, Sven’s response indicates that Capcom is still committed to keeping the channels of communication with the FGC as open as Seth has.

      - Zonder88
        
        He wasnt making positive comments towards Capcom.
        
        He was simply being defensive towards a sarcastic negative comment, you dumb fuck.
        
        So yes, that makes him a dickrider. Or rather, a cocksucker. Your misunderstanding of something so simple doesnt make you look any better either.

        So getting defensive about sarcastic negative comment makes you a dickrider, as opposed to just being a butthurt fanboy?

Wow can we say epic fail Capcom? SFxT bombs, and brings the debacle of bad press and business relations. Capcoms rating with the better business beurau plumits to the lowest ever. Ono trolls so hard he nearly has a heart attack and drop from being producer on this abomination. And now Seth gracefully steps out, I suspect due to the burden of shouldering the lies of Capcom’s suits. I pity Seth for being the guy who had to lie to the public with a straight face, maybe even believing the lies only to see the exact opposite of his words happen. And then have to live with the shame of basically being a liar/ scapegoat for a greedy and failing company.
GG Capcom.

  I don’t pity him for that at all, I’m sure they paid well for those lies lol. Y’all are the ones who paid $60 bucks for SFxT without looking into it first, while games like KoF and VF5 can’t even get a decent tourney turnout.
  
  Blame Capcom all you want, but I blame the community.
  - TopHaZZard
    
    Games like KOF can’t get a decent turnout because no one from 09 wants play game with touch of death combos or has the execution to learn and hit confirm them.
    - Mikaël Conan
      
      …
    - Zonder88
      
      Is that why people play Marvel thats 95% touch of death combos?
      
      High execution is correct. ToD combos? Nope.
      - TopHaZZard
        
        I’ll meet you halfway and agree on the ToD part but execution barriers dissuade players.
      - http://www.facebook.com/people/Yan-Zhao/10516382 Yan Zhao
        
        I dont think he was disagreeing with the execution barrier part
      - MarLonLonMilk
        
        Well, most of my friends (“average gamers” if you will) who play Marvel for fun can’t do a ToD combo if their lives depended on it and probably wouldn’t have known they existed until playing with me. They play UMvC3 because they’re familiar with the brand.
        
        “KOF can’t get a decent turnout because not everybody is familiar with the series.” That’s what TopHaZZard should have said, no?
      - Zonder88
        
        No, he was saying KoF has low turnouts because it has touch of death combo’s which apparently turns people off. And my point was, Marvel is full of ToD combos yet the majority still plays it, which disproves his statement.
        
        The high execution barrier however, is correct.
    - http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=537385466 Wil Hart
      
      “no one from 09 wants play game with touch of death combos” You sir are a liar. Marvel 3 is filled with ToD combos and Xfactor guarantees that anyone’s BnB kills at this point. Yet despite this, UMvC3 is still gets the highest turnouts for tournaments. Having ToD combos isn’t a factor for KoF not getting the numbers that other games do, actually requiring a basic level of execution does.
      - TopHaZZard
        
        True on ToDs. I defiantly think that execution barriers are the bigger issue. People like to rip on SFXT but getting rid of double motions for supers was a good idea. Takuma mutipunch special is a foward back foward motion for absoulutly no good reason. Why couldn’t SNK map it to quarter circle back since none of his moveset uses it.
      - http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=537385466 Wil Hart
        
        A) SFxT was not the first game that used single motions for supers. Credit should not be given where it’s not due.
        
        B) What makes QCB easier than FBF? Arbitrary preference? Familiarity? FBF is arguably an easier motion to grasp since it’s clear when to the player when it’s done, as opposed to quarter circle motions which can easily be overshot leading to a TK move (if a character has a move that overlaps the motion in the air) or undershot which will make the move not come out. Additionally, Quarter circle motions also overlap with DP, RDP, and Half circle motions, any of which can come out by accident if the quarter circle motion is either mashed or done poorly.
        
        I have a question for you, why does SFxT still use 360 motions? Zangief for example does not have a single move that uses a quarter circle motion, yet he has multiple moves (including a super) that use the 360 motion? Why would Capcom choose to use the “more complex” motion in favor over the simpler one? It’s what the designer intends and what the fans of the series expect from the character/game.
        
        Complex motions are thought of as difficult primarily due to people being unfamiliar with them. People who mainly play Capcom fighters tend to dislike motions that are more complex than double quarter circle, while the SNK or “anime” (for lack of a better term) game players tend not to mind as much since the games that the play have had them for years.
        
        TLDR version: All input motions are arbitrary, perceived difficulty is due to familiarity (or lack there of), and if designers really wanted to appeal to the “average” gamer the most complex motion in a game would be something like direction+2 buttons.
    - Gimnbo
      
      Having to do a full DP motion: too hard for the average gamer.
      - TopHaZZard
        
        Your right, A DP motion should be pretzel motion just because.
      - SohoX
        
        ^ Probably can’t do a proper dragonpunch
      - Gimnbo
        
        hcb, f is an alternate motion and actually really helps with cancels in some combos.
        
        In any case, the execution barrier in KOF 13 is really exaggerated since the command interpreter is pretty generous. My main execution problem has actually been accidentally doing moves i don’t want rather than moves not coming out (for a grievous example, see Romance vs Tokido). The basic, optimal HD combos actually feel pretty derpy once you’ve practiced them enough.
        
        Also, pretzel motions are fun as hell and I’m sad Geese isn’t in the game.
    - KubikiriTurkojin
      
      so everybody should make a ssb clone and call it a day, fuck the serious fightingn game fans that demand a great title? yeah, thats great logic.
      - TopHaZZard
        
        Divekick has two buttons but everyone loves it.

        To be fair, its not a serious game or to be taken serious at that. Its just momentary fun.
      - Rahavic
        
        I played Divekick all weekend the game is amazing and keeps you coming back to play more and more because of the arcade feel of it (you get in line if you win you stay if you lose you’re out of line). As long as this is how the game is kept the game will stay amazing.
        
        Yan Zhao might not have enjoyed his time playing it, but I doubt very much he has. So his opinion is invalid. You my friend are right, everyone does love it.
      - http://www.facebook.com/people/Yan-Zhao/10516382 Yan Zhao
        
        I was stating the reason why people enjoyed Dive Kick despite being a simple 2 button game and somehow that translate into me not enjoying the game to you? Are you seriously that illiterate?

      I’m from ’91 and I can’t get too excited about KOF, even though I used to like the earlier games pre-99.
    - Amer1ka
      
      What does “09″ players have to do with KoF? It has 0 online appeal, the graphics aren’t up to Capcom standards unless you love anime/hand drawn and the KoF community on forums is terrible. I like KoF personally but I don’t sit back and not recognize it’s flaws and it has nothing to do with “09″ people not wanting to get past the entry barrier of how hard it is.
      
      As I said above…if KoF was a Capcom game it would have gotten KILLED by the reviews and the FGC.

      Not understimates KOF, its like Soccer, is popular outside the USA, in countries when marketing is inexistent and people must discover the game by himself.
  - Amer1ka
    
    KoF can’t get the community to play it because it simply doesn’t have much draw. Not to mention horrible online during a time when other games can do quite well online. And in a lot of respects from what I’ve seen on web pages and streams, the KoF community reminds me of Mac owners and it’s a huge turn off.
    
    They simply want to be the cool guy at the tournament who talks about how much they love KoF and how good it is while completely ignoring all of it’s problems. If KoF was released as a Street Fighter title it would have went into the dirt faster than SFxT. But the KoF “hipster mac owner” type doesn’t see these problems and all they do is bitch about how nobody plays KoF.
    
    VF5 is just boring for me and I’d imagine most people who don’t play. 3D fighters all seem to have that problem.

  Excuse me, but this is blatant slander and misinformation. We’re doing quite fine here at Capcom. Ono simply overworked himself, but he’s fine now, Seth decided to leave as he felt it was simply time for him to try new experiences within the world of gaming, and we understood. Seth never once lied to any of you, and I assure you we are not a greedy or failing company.
  
  I suggest everyone take the post by this Tyrone person as a warning, of what happens when you become consumed with silly conspiracy theories instead of knowing the facts.

  Greedy? Maybe. They’re a business after all. But they’re the ones pumping out the games that are making this scene big again. As long as they see the fighting genre as profitable, they’ll continue making the games that keep us coming back.
  
  Failing? No. Not even close. They might be failing in your eyes but they’re making plenty of money which is the opposite of failing.
  
  They have bad PR and they don’t understand the community supporting them very well but at least they’re trying and they acknowledge its importance. They are one of the few Japanese developers still successfully making games that internationally sell decently well. Listening to the community is NOT something Japanese developers ever do, its one of the main reasons why they are falling behind with time, but Capcom realizes they need to do it so at least they’re making an effort.

  I just look to Megaman Legends 3 for how good communication is. They say it will be made by fans, and have really open communication in developing the game…all that jazz. Then it gets canned because “we don’t support it enough.” Nevermind the video where they say its okay to “just watch” too.

Honestly, I can never take anything Svensson say seriously or with a straight mind because in the end, something always gets screwed up to some degree.

Capcom should just hire one of the Cannon brothers. Any worries within the FGC would disappear immediately.

I think that capcom care a lot of the fgc but we have to understand that we are not the entire market of videogames capcom has to make money, and has to respect us It’s a fact that more hyped fgc game is umvc3 that had a not worthy ammount of game sold
http://www.facebook.com/people/Mark-Taylor/1207606433 Mark Taylor

The way i see it seth has a brain in his head and has seen the “fans” reactions to the way dlc has been handled etc and when he told them it needs to be changed capcom have said they dont give two shits about the fans.

So unwilling to lie anymore and seeing capcom are never going to change their to put it bluntly shitty practices he left before everyone FINALLY says FU capcom GG etc are better games anyway.
- Bama_X
  
  The word “lie” seems too powerful of a word in describing what S-Kill did while at Capcom, and even if he did lie it was totally unknowing. They could have gave him set information to tell the world about how the game would run, and then they would change it around at a moments notice.
  
  IMO he got tired of being the Spin Master/ Damage Controller/ Capcom’s Shit Shield, and always trying to make chicken salad out of chicken shit.

I’m sure plenty of studios would be glad to have Seth and its experience with the FGC.

I’m not worried, he will be fine.

So, did Seth actually get fired or did he leave on his own? I keep hearing both.
PointCtrPoint

IMO the best thing Seth did was leave a blueprint for capcom and other companies to better engage their communities. However, a very subtle yet important loss was the old school cache that Seth had. He would communicate small tidbits here and there with people and other opinion leaders in the FGC that would trickle into the community and make us feel better about things.

If I had to guess (and yeah, it’s just a guess), I think after the lack of UMvC3 sales and the SFxT disaster, any plans they had for future fighting games were cancelled, which means there was no work left for Seth. If that new Vampire Savior game ever gets announced, then obviously I was wrong.

  .08 million. Hmm…That’s a shame actually. The gaming world really does have to cater to the moronic masses to consider something a “win.”
  
  I wonder if they would have waited 6 more months, added a few modes, better netcode and 8 more characters if they could have reeled in more sales?
  
  Hey, check out the “list of 148 characters” on the left side of the page. I wish! (I guess that’s the cards?)

    Well what do you expect? It was released in the same year as Vanilla…i know many casual players don’t feel justified in buying another version in the same year..and i know others who really loved the game competitively just…stopped playing because of this.
    
    You have to remember, at the time, people don’t know if UMvC3 is the final version or not…and if they don’t get it early on they just might not care enough later.
    
    Sure theres some that still played and will keep on playing UMvC3 but to expect sales to be even as good as the original MvC3 when it was released in the same year is just asking for too much imo. Just keeping it realistic…
    
    Quite possibly, as you said, waiting 6 months or even the end of this year to release it would have helped it so much more.

Seth, all my best to your future. You were always a pretty good guy in my eyes and I hope the best for you wherever you find yourself.

You’ll be missed by us but hopefully not for long when you get where you’re going!

Okay so I think a lot of people are unfamilliar with what has happened at Capcom. If you look into the past, the extremely creative, producers and game designers all had a falling out with the suits at Capcom. Every development team has left. Megaman, Street Fighter, Resident Evil, and Devil May Cry. Every development team had on some level, differences with the business practice of Capcom. Keiji Inafune probobably on of the most recognized devs got fired for not agreeing on making games only for 3DS release. Similar to what we are seeing with SFxT on vista. Keiji Inafune reportedly posted anonoymously on Capcom forums not to buy into the new Megaman game as it is a farce and a ploy to get you to buy into 3DS. He was discovered and fired.
You can say Ono is fine, but clearly the burden of shouldering the monstoristy that is SFxT was too much. And like everyone else has said Seth left because he was sick of being capcoms shit sheild. Overall I believe Capcom is failing.

If you take the words of Keiji Inafune he states that Japanese developers are failing because they have not tried to create anything new. They have ridden on the backs of previous titles and milked it for as long as possible. Clearly working for Capcom for 20+ years he is talking about them. Capcom might not be failling but I do beleive there is trouble there and the FGC to Capcom is not worth their investment. Seth I believe is the testiment to that, of course I do beleive he will move on to bigger and better things.

  I can’t completely agree with that. If you’ve looked at some of Capcoms line up Dragons Dogma, Dark Void, Asura’s Wrath, you’ll realize that they have taken more risks with new IPs then half of the major companies here in America or anywhere else for that matter.
  
  The words of Keiji were primarily of frustration..the realization that japan is no longer at the forefront when it comes to innovation, production, etc. I myself was excited to see the return of dead franchises like bionic commando…sad to say that reboot fell flat on its face. I can agree they lacked the tenacity for creating new genres but its not to say they haven’t tried to compete with the new market that throws gobs of money towards year to year FPS multiplayers.
  
  They definitely need a change of thought that is for sure.

is the KOF fanbase the new GG fanbase now?? “LOL NO ONE CAN PLAY OUR SUPER DUPER HARD GAME! EXECUTION BARRIER WAY ABOVE YOU SCRUBS!”
- http://www.facebook.com/AL.x.and.her Alexander ‘Al King’ Clay
  
  Since when has KOF ever been difficult….If you missed out on 13 KOF games and all of the fighting game theory that it provided, then that isn’t anyone’s fault but the player. I try and preach this everyday. Empty your cup, learn to play a different fighter. I don’t believe the game is execution heavy, everything is executed differently. KOF being execution heavy is a stigma created by those who have spent more time watching the game for over 13 years than learning it, believing it to be SF clone. Again, empty your cup. Learn the game whether it’s Blaz, GG, KOF, MK. You would be surprised at the number of players in the FGC that will touch Tekken simply because it isn’t SF, regardless of the amount of FG theory you could learn from playing an entirely different fighter every once in a while.
  
  note: A fighting game that plots 2 characters against each other on a 2D plane does NOT register it as a SF clone.

Like I said before, it’s evident that Seth and Capcom had differences regarding the way they are handling things. No one just up and leaves major gaming developer. It had to be quite embarrassing working for a company that puts money before the people and innovation of the genre; the same people he swore to provide a voice for within the Capcom stronghold; the same innovation that’s applied by other developers like Namco, SNK and Netherrealm to further evolve the genre.

SFxT was meant to happen, but not like this. We all know it, Seth knew it and he knew it was going to happen with future titles. Seeing him jump ship to Namco, NRS, would do a lot more for the community; strengthening those franchises with his given knowledge of the genre while proving that Capcom has it faults despite it being the herald of FGs, and with that, so does the FGC itself. Capcom has brainwashed a lot of us (and by us I mean “you”) to believing that every game isn’t Street Fighter or Marvel will rot; even neglecting their own great franchises like Rival Schools. Power Stone and Star Gladiator in the process. Sometimes a developer makes mistakes, the rushed released of 2 of the most important fighters of genre was one of them. Being payed off by Sony to hold onto 12 characters, remind you, 12 characters that some without internet connection will never get the opportunity to play with, was another mistake. This isn’t how fighting games are supposed to be. We as a community failed to come together and acknowledge the mistakes Capcom have made, so it is their right to repeat them. I do not expect to hear a comment from Seth, nor do I need one. Him leaving Capcom was the boldest statement he could ever make.

Sven……
You know when Killian left, there was a feeling of guilt and sorrow from everyone. If Sven was fired from Capcom due to the outbreak of all this. I would say that it would be a step in the right direction. Cause all this time. All of Capcom’s practices exposed to the world and all Sven has been doing is damage control.

Crapcom had it coming. Step aside; there isn’t really anything left to do after SF4, MvC3 and the dreadful SFxTk. Time to let Namco do what’s best and forget the rest, 3D style. TTT2 is a couple months away and will (for me and other Tekken players) end 2012 quite nicely.

Good luck Seth with your future works.
