Quoted from DMDDude:Story time:
CAPCOM put Big Bang Bar on location at an arcade in a mall. A few members of the team were going to make a trip over to check on it, and Stan Fukuoka invited me to come with them. I accepted, and we left the office.
We arrived at the arcade and the place was practically empty being that it was during the day. As they gathered around the machine I wanted to walk around the arcade a bit first. Looking back, I noticed someone walk up to the group and then shook Stan's hand. Stan had a big smile on his face.
I returned to the team later to find out it was a SEGA pinball artist who loved the Big Bang Bar cabinet artwork. (SEGA had a pin on test at that location, too, apparently.) I thought it was a very cool moment.
I have BBB #5 and a complete collection of all 5 hand signed limited edition artworks Stan Fukuoka did for BBB. I have owned mine since nib and will never part with it or the artworks. My hats off to you and the rest of the Capcom team. It's really too bad it had to end. I think the creative team at Capcom would have been a positive influence in today's market.
