Capcom has been struggling this year. I'm sure they can't wait to get out of 2012 alive. Remember Me doesn't look that promising right now. DMC has been taken heat ever since they released images of that Dante. Lost Planet 3? What? lol. SFxT is long gone. Both Resident Evil titles released this year got railed by the public.

This however, this should be about a fighting game. And let me talk my shit again. Darkstalkers 4 on the Street Fighter engine is the only thing that is going to save Capcom right now. Marvel is hot, but I think we're closer to Marvel 4 than a rival schools or a Street Fighter 5. The only other option is something of the same formula of Street Fighter. Something that works. I've been saying it for almost a year. We need a Darkstalkers 4 that plays similar to Street Fighter V & make that shit super competitive.

Ono has been teasing Darkstalkers forever it seems. 2:31 into the video below.
