Matt Dahlgren, Capcom's senior product manager, just announced he's leaving the company after a decade --

The majority of the current fighting game community probably knows Matt Dahlgren as the guy that hands out giant checks to the winners at Capcom Cup, but his run with the major video game company spanned nearly a decade.

That run has reached its conclusion as the Senior Product Manager at Capcom on the fighting game brands is now moving on to other things as he and Capcom are parting ways.

Dahlgren was in charge of marketing campaigns for Street Fighter 5, Street Fighter X Tekken, Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition and assisted in the marketing campaigns for Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers and Capcom's best selling game of all time: Resident Evil 5.

Linky

The community outreach on the fighting side was amazing back then.

 

[JayEH]

Cross posting from the OT...

I'd want to leave too after Infinite. Sad to see though, the esports team at Capcom USA are good guys.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Met him at NYCC he was there promoting an early sfv build, great guy. Wish him the best.

Dayamnn

 

[Deeke[VRZ]]

RE5 was capcom's best selling game of all time? Lord help us.

 

[kikiribu]

RE5 sold more than RE4?

Most people have bad taste confirmed

 

[Tripon]

Matt Dahlgren always seemed to give 100% of his effort running the Capcom Pro Tour.

He also apparently helped start Melee's and Smash in general competitive tournaments.

Capcom has not had the best week so far.

[E_Darkness]

It's no RE4, but damn Co-op RE5 was fun as hell.

 

[nded]

If his absence led to MvCI's sorry marketing campaign, Mr. Dahlgren will be missed.

God speed.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

can't say i blame him

You can confirm it here:

[kirblar]

Gonna go out a limb and guess he wasn't in charge of the MvC:I marketing.

Good luck to him w/ his next job.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

At this point I just want Remake 2 and dmcv and call it a day with Capcom. The old heads killed any goodwill they had.

His last marketing job was SFV.

We've been telling people for ages- Best RE is action RE.

But people let nostalgia cloud their judgement!

RE4 was action too?

Reading the explanation for the name just makes it an even worse term lol....

 

[Undead Fantasy]

Get out with this.

It deserves it.

 

[Audioserf]

Yeah.

1) RE5
2) RE6
3) SF2
4) RE2
5) MHP3

http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/finance/million.html

They're counting every iteration of Street Fighter 2 separately though. SF2 being number 3 counts only the SNES copy of the game, otherwise it sits so far atop that pile as to drawf every other entry in the top ten by an order of magnitude.

 

[Killa Sasa]

Damn, dude seemed pretty good.

Is haunts gone too? He was my fave.

 

[Anne]

I actually did interviews and talked with him a couple of times during the later SF4 and pre-SFV hype cycle of stuff. He really sold the CPT and other things and was always super on point when talking to him. Sucks to see him move on from this, but I hope his skills go on to a better company honestly.

Could be worse. It could be... a DINO CRISIS game *shudders*

You guys just now found out? This is old news.

 

[CO_Andy]

RE5's campaign was meh, but it was an incredibly fun co-op game

 

[JayEH]

what happened to your avatar op? lol

 

[TreIII]

All the best. Whatever is next for him, I hope it's all good!

This is some deep lore I never knew about.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Capcom USA is a great crew. He'll be missed but will undoubtedly succeed in his next endeavor.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Jawmuncher boogie man incoming.

 

[Leafhopper]

You guys just now found out? This is old news.

People called me a liar the last time I said that for some reason.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

RE4 was action too?

You know what I mean, part of the new age (at that time) RE games.

 

[Ray Down]

Could be worse. It could be... a DINO CRISIS game *shudders*

Thankfully that franchise is dead.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

RE5 had a pretty darn great marketing campaign, wonder how involved he was.

 

[Producer]

damn that blows. good luck to him wherever he goes next

 

[secretanchitman]

He'll be missed for sure. Haunts left, now him, and I think John D as well. Who is next, Combofiend?

 

[Vuci]

Thankfully that franchise is dead.

Is this a meme to upset Jawmuncher? I don't understand how 1 out of 3 mainline games being bad makes it a bad franchise.

 

[CO_Andy]

what happened to your avatar op? lol

i thought i knew the boundaries for avatars here but apparently not

 

[vala]

If his absence led to MvCI's sorry marketing campaign, Mr. Dahlgren will be missed.

God speed.

He is credited as "director of brand marketing" in Marvel Infinite...

 

[Producer]

He'll be missed for sure. Haunts left, now him, and I think John D as well. Who is next, Combofiend?

i dont think haunts left and john d is definately still at capcom

 

[BoosterDuck]

John D's still there bringing everyone's coffees after getting kicked off the social media division 😹

 

[Neoxon]

I wish him the best in his future endeavors. Matt will be missed.

 

[Yukinari]

can't say i blame him

Was just gonna say.

Id leave too if my companys reputation was this low right now.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

He about to start an exodus

 

[Rhaknar]

Is this a meme to upset Jawmuncher? I don't understand how 1 out of 3 mainline games being bad makes it a bad franchise.

if anything is a meme is Munch's obcession with a mediocre clone of another franchise, the bizarre part being, both franchises are from the same Publisher.

Dino Crisis is like those random ass shit clones of popular games we had all the time in the 90s, but its from Capcom so some people pretend it matters.

Its like if BIO Freaks was published...by...Midwa- wait >_>

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

What did Jawmuncher do to you people
