Street Fighter personality and community manager Seth Killian leaves Capcom
Friday to be his last day with the company
Seth Killian, a man just about every Capcom fan is familiar with, has announced that he'll be leaving Capcom at the end of this week, on June 22.
Best known for being the face of Street Fighter and his involvement in Capcom's community, Killian has been with the Capcom USA for six years as their strategic marketing director of online and community. Killian also co-founded the annual EVO Championship Series, where he's known as "S-Kill." Heck, Capcom even named a Street Fighter boss after this guy.
His impending departure is definitely sudden, taking the community by surprise. A lengthy post on his blog at Capcom-Unity does little to really explain why he's leaving, but he does thank a lot of people for helping him along the way. In the opening to his post, he briefly mentions pursuing "a new dream," but doesn't going into specifics.
As an integral part of the fighting game scene, Killian will probably maintain his involvement to some extent, just not as the face of Capcom and Street Fighter.

Truly a sad day. Something is very wrong at the Capcom studios that so much talent is leaving them...
The first 4 pretty much made Capcom (alongside Ono whose still working for them...for now) and Seth Killian (and Sven) are pretty much Capcoms face and personality that constantly had ties to the community. Seth was also a major supporter of PC titles and had a big influence in multiple Capcom PC ports.
*plays funeral music for Capcom* here's hoping Nintendo buys out some of their IP's when they inevitably sink. All that talent lost will greatly affect future games.
Is this commonplace for Neoseeker? False info on new section...
