this, with the caveat that I'm not sure many of the people who made the most beloved 8ing FGs are even still there—I know the Bloody Roar OGs have all jumped ship, retired, ascended into management, etc

8ing didn't completely stop making fighting games after being bought out in 2016—they made an original VR fighting game called Steel Combat & continued working on IP games like Kamen Rider and Zoids, the most recent of which came out in Japan last month 🇯🇵

...but idk how much DNA remains from the TvC/MvC era, even, and the credits for their more recent games aren't transcribed & aren't easy to find via video so I can't cross-reference atm

I know one of the 8ing-side MvC battle planners was lead on Steel Combat, that's all I got

btw, 8ing's been working with Nintendo quite a lot recently: they worked on Pikmin 3 DX & Kirby Star Allies

they've also helped on Nintendo-hardware Monster Hunter up until Generations Ultimate Switch, so I wouldn't be shocked if they're on Rise too
