He's said that it is highly unlikely, since the SF4 engine does not lend itself well to the over the top nature of the Vampire series. That's the reason Capcom is using MT Framework for MvC3.
Yeah, I believe Nitsuma (TvC, MvC3) pretty much confirmed that MT would be used for all future Capcom fighters going forward, even though Ono and Nitsuma are on different projects altogether. Easier for the sake of "universal tools", as well as porting to 360/PS3 and arcades.
Ono has been focused on fighting game projects of late, given the success of SFIV, so that is highly unlikely.
Not only that, but that's not even Ono's responsibility. Everything that relates to Rockman on a day to day basis, that's Horinouchi. Furthermore, the reason Ono had to see ol boy Inafking at all, was due to the fact that Inafune's the head of Capcom R&D. So he had to get an idea green-lighted by him, before some thing can even get started.
ANY WAY....Ono either needs to deliver on a game that basically can be a proper follow-up to Vampire Savior or better. Savior is still played in Japan to this day, so I would like to think that a new game would have to do more focus on satiating those players, first and foremost.
After all, as was said in the previous topic about this news: the one good thing about marketing a new Vampire/Darkstalkers game in the West? Besides the relative few, like myself, who actually do/did play the game on a decent competitive tip? No expectations! :lol
