The Capcom Cup returns for it's second year, culminating a year of tournaments and qualifiers for Street Fighter IV in the Capcom Pro Tour. Over $50,000 worth of prizes are on the line, including a guaranteed $30,000 pot for first place.

​

The competition is as fierce as ever at this year's Capcom Cup, which features all 5 previous SFIV EVO Champions in the competition, as well as many other world-class players.

USA ALL DA WAY!

Spoiler

Shut up don't even say it.

 

[Baleoce]

My heart says SnakeEyez, but my brain says Daigo, especially after his Topanga showing (I mean, it wasn't even close). Outside bet would be Momochi's Ken.

 

[enzo_gt]

DaiGOAT taking it all the way.

[Myn]

Totally forgot this was tomorrow. Was initially planning on going, I've attended the last two Capcom events and gone home with some goodies every year but this year's not looking too great. It's a shame because it has a pretty exciting bracket again like 2012.

 

[KidA Seven]

Daigo ain't winning shit lmao

Totally washed up.

Absolutely disgusting

 

[Platy]

daww

hahaha this is so surreal xD

 

[Windom Earle]

Dear Capcom, UK and Spain are not in the same time zone.

 

[vulva]

Since I can't watch live because of a Saturday exam, I want to extend the offer if anyone wants to place a friendly bet. Player locked win bet.

Basically we each pick one person to win. If my dude wins, you pay me. If your dude wins, I pay you. If neither wins, nothing exchanged. If you're interested, shoot me a PM and we'll work out the details. I'll keep the option open until start time of the tournament.

 

[entremet]

Daigo ain't winning shit lmao

Totally washed up.

Not quite.

The rest of the world just caught up. With streams and YT is very easy to dissect players.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Dear Capcom, UK and Spain are not in the same time zone.

You know in the day and age of smart phones I still don't understand how people fuck this up, or even need it posted.

Mother fucker the default clock on my phone has time zone for the entire globe...

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]
