PEOPLE: - Yoshiki Okamoto, age 52. General Producer of Oracle of Ages & Oracle of Seasons. Producer of Street Fighter, Final Fight, and Street Fighter II. QUOTE: Okamoto: We made Final Fight. Then Capcom told us, "You have to call that 'Street Fighter.'" We had it at a convention and we were showing it to people, but Street Fighter's reputation was really bad. So we thought, if the reputation's that bad, we're not going to name it Street Fighter. We're just going to call it Final Fight. ... If Final Fight didn't sell well, Capcom might have been in danger of going under. ... But it actually sold more than Capcom executives expected it to, so after it took off, they told me to create Final Fight 2. I'm not the type of person to do what I'm told, though. So I said, "Well, I don't want to do that." And then I decided to make Street Fighter 2.
