Street Fighter legend Yoshinori Ono – who was worryingly rushed to hospital over the weekend – has announced on Twitter that he is taking a break from Street Fighter development.
The legend said:
I caused you so much worry for a while. I went back to work. [The Street Fighter] team are working wholeheartedly on patches for Street Fighter X Tekken. Please wait just a little longer.
I apologize for that. And thanks for a lot of get-well messages! I’ll refrain from work [on my] current job for a while. Another person [is] in charge of the SF series for a while. Of course I’ll [give] constant support to it. I’ll be out of the limelight [of] fighting game series for a while. I’ll think about the new future of fighting games after this.
Naturally we wish Ono-san the very best in his recovery.

If UMVSCC3 could be ported to the PlayStation Vita, no doubt this can too. Just saying, you know to boost sales.
Hopefully he has a quick and full recovery from whatever it was that caused the health concerns. It'd be nice to see him get back into game development at some point as he pretty much brought back the fighting game scene with SF IV but his health is obviously more important, and it seems like he had a pretty crazy schedule, a nice, long break was probably overdue.
@LittleBigVita What do you mean? Street Fighter X Tekken? Good news friend — it's already announced for Vita.
