This question just came up to my mind, seeing how it's almost into May already, but not a glimpse of a new fighter is hinted by Capcom since the last announcement- "CVS2 will mark a period to (our) 2D fighting games" (Noritaka Funamizu, Street Fighter series R&D producer)[an error occurred while processing this directive]

I'm quite negative about it. I think that we won't see any new fighter this year.

I don't know why, but I think I'll see one fighter from Capcom.

They will need some time to reflect on their business strategy on the future development of 2D games. Apparently they must have realised that 2D games are reaching their maturity stage and how they can bring them to another stage is a big challenge...

Not much. Damn Capcom. I yearn for one of their 2-D fighters again. CvS2 kept my interest for a while,and still does now and then. But I want something else. Something new.
I haven't really liked the stuff or haven't been interested in the stuff that Capcom's churned out since the last "coup-de-grande" year of fighting(2000!) DMC,RE(any version) among others aren't my bad at all. (Maximo I still have yet to try,so I won't speak on that)

I say that they may surprise us with SF4 or something. At least I hope so.

How long ago was that announcement made? I thought they just said they would be taking a break from making 2D fighters for a while to focus on other kinds of games.

One I think, and it's probably going to be something like Marvel vs Capcom II Upper for the XBox :p
Hehe, or maybe that news of Marvel vs Capcom III with Thor and Dante?

I believe they will make no new fighting games this year. If we see anything it'll be a port along the lines of SFA3 Upper and CvS2 for the GC. They may start devlopment on something, but we probably won't see it till spring of next year...

It's sad, but I think we're not going to see any 2D fighter from Capcom this year, BUT I expect next year will be an onslaught of Capcom 2D games!

I didn't understand the question really... I said 2 since I'm sure they'll have one new arcade fighter and a port to the GBA of an oooold game that's been updated enough to seem new, but I should have said more then 3 since we have:
-CvSPro -SFA3 Advance -CvS2:EO
so any other annouced ports would push the amount over 3 (I wouldn't doubt CvS2 shows up on the XBox what with Capcom being so proud of their program that makes all ports easy and near identical)

Probably none. Their team must be stressed out from having to work on so many titles.
But you never know, Capcom might surprise us...

Probably not too much, since the die-hard SF scene is still there in the US, and I doubt it'll fade away (Much like the die-hard KOF series).
What is fading is the casual fans intrest in 2D fighting games, and Capcom may have a devil of a time getting them back into SF (Which means it may be time for a brand new fight game series...)

From what I hear, Street Fighter 4 is supposed to use 3d graphics on a 2d feild... or at least that's what was hinted during an interview.
Personally I wouldn't be too upset with no new Capcom 2-d fighters this year as long as they're working on something really good. I'm talking a game that has gameplay to match Street Fighter 3 and graphics to rival Guilty Gear X.

The answer: Not at all. Or *maybe* very little. The casual gamers who visit the site for General Discussion might vanish (GOD, I hope so - the fewer idiots, the better), but the hardcore (and there are a lot more of them now than in the old days of alt.games.sf2) will remain. As long as the tournament scene remains healthy (if all eles fails, players will go back to some of older favourites if they ever get bored of the new ones), Shoryuken.com's not going anywhere.

This is, speaking of new games, not ports.

like Time mage said, one game is the best we can hope for this year. Thats not a problem for me if they're doing a good one.

Being as big a fan of Capcom 2d fighters as I am, I still get the impression that we won't see anything new this year. Just a bunch of ports. However, I'm betting that we'll get something special next year...

Not expecting anything new this year. But, as has been expressed, we'll hopefully see something good next year -- maybe more little details to make gameplay even better. And, hopefully, sprites will make the jump to hi-res...
But all we can do is wait.

Someday Capcom will make a new Darkstalkers game with redrawn sprites... They .. They have too...

To me, it might seem more likely that Capcom might fool around with some way to make cel-shaded, outlined polygonal characters look almost indistinguishable from handdrawn sprites. (I at least remember being fooled with the backgrounds in MvC2.)
As much as I'd like to see more handdrawn stuff, I think this might be a better path for Capcom, given how often they tend to update sprites... and I believe it might be easier to make aesthetic changes and updates to a polygonal character (and do skeleton animation changes) than it is to completely redraw sprites for each character's moves.
Of course, it would be a matter of making sure the polygonal characters play as well and look as good as the sprite characters...

Unless they put some serious textures into the polygons it will look too bland. JSFR characters looked nice but it was mostly shading. I really don't think that cel-shaded characters could surpass the detail of a well drawn sprite.

Well, they need to do something. That Morrigan sprite started looking tired 3 years ago.

Shoot -- I meant to write that to accompany the statement that the MvC2 backgrounds had fooled me.
And, maybe a company needs to work on a possible new technique -- cel-shining, perhaps? ;) You know, when light strikes a certain part of a character, there's a distinct white shine spot. You see it on a lot of anime hair. (Er, or something like that...)
