Their lead designer was perhaps the biggest douchebag in the industry, and that is saying ALOT.

was he the guy who was like "Fuck Japafag wrestling Aki and their Def Jam Fight For New York, all that grappling is queer! Def Jam ICON is all about black men punching black men on the streets."

The very same. As I understand his ego was one of the main reasons the place is so poorly run.

I still remember that quote as one of the most insane things I've ever heard a producer say (in public). I can't remember the exact line but he basically called Aki a bunch of poofy homos because of their fighting game mechanics. It was awesomely surreal, especially when Def Jam ICON had NO fighting game mechanics.

Def Jam without AKI = am total failure. But at least the graphics are nice.

Woe to any developer who hires that douche.
