Ono: Capcom execs DO NOT approve SSFIV Arcade Edition DLC

Over the weekend SSFIV Executive Producer Yoshinori Ono tweeted that Capcom execs did not approve his proposal to bring the changes and characters in SSFIV Arcade Edition.  He later tweeted that he is not giving up and that he is also pushing to remake Darkstalkers, the mid nineties horror themed fighter that popularized many of Capcom's modern fighting game mechanics.
