As we near the end of 2015 there’s one thing we can all look forward to… No, it’s not the holidays, but Capcom Cup! That’s right, this year’s Capcom Cup will send Ultra Street Fighter IV off in the grandest event possible as 32 of the world’s best meet in San Francisco at PlayStation Experience on December 6th to fight for their piece of the $250,000 prize pool!

If you’ve been following the Capcom Pro Tour, then you know that players from around the world have been traveling from country to country, continent to continent, trying to secure their spot at Capcom Cup or gather enough points for one of the 15 spots available in the 32 man finals. Now that the dust is just about settled (with the last spot to be decided at Dreamhack Winter this November 26th – 29th), Capcom Cup 2015 is shaping up to be the greatest competitive Street Fighter tournament of the last decade!
For those of you wondering what the schedule, bracket format, and prize distribution for Capcom Cup is, allow me to provide that information below:

Payout
1st: $125,000
2nd: $60,000
3rd: $25,000
4th: $15,000
5th & 6th: $10,000 (each)
7th & 8th: $5,000 (each)

Schedule
10:00 AM — Opening Ceremony
10:30 AM — Round 1 and 2
2:00 PM — Analyst Desk
2:30 PM — Top 16 to Top 8
5:30 PM — Analyst Desk / Break
6:30 PM — Top 8
9:30 PM — Closing / Awards Ceremony

The bracket will be double elimination, best two out of three matches up to top 16. From there, all matches will be best three out of five.

With 32 of the world’s best Street Fighter players all under one roof, we expect every single match to be beyond hype. That said, this year we’ll have two streams available for those of you watching from home so that you won’t miss any of the high profile matches going down! We recommend viewers tune into the Capcom Pro Tour site for the ultimate experience as they will be able to follow both streams as well as the Capcom Cup brackets once the action goes live.

Most important part! Wish it was 3/5 all the way, but I'll take it.

 

[BadWolf]

Can't wait for this.

 

[Fat4all]

BUT WHERE'S DONG DONG NEVER DIE??!??!

 

[SliceSabre]

Justin Wong will win it all.

 

[jett]

Wow they're actually giving more prize money than before.

Personally, I'm a bit over SF4 after watching so many SFV matches though.

 

[BronsonLee]

BUT WHERE'S DONG DONG NEVER DIE??!??!

Dead and buried where it belongs

 

[Lulubop]

Well this is SF4's last hurrah.

 

[Primethius]

Yes! That's much better then I was expecting given what I had read a few weeks back.

I'm so excited for this.

 

[Nephtes]

Will they actually be using the PS4 version of USFIV?

 

[nikos]

Hype intensifying.

 

[Fat4all]

Solid payouts all around, gonna be a fun watch.

 

[Primethius]

Will they actually be using the PS4 version of USFIV?

The switch was made in recent tournaments a while ago, so I would assume so.

 

[delSai]

Will they actually be using the PS4 version of USFIV?

Yeah

 

[sixteen-bit]

Hype intensifying.

Can't wait for Megaman cover band and iPad DJ

 

[ViewtifulJC]

 

[HardRojo]

Can't wait for this!

 

[LeleSocho]

huh? Wasn't the prize pool 500,000$ this year?
Pretty sure that's what they said just after last Capcom Cup.

 

[Sesha]

BUT WHERE'S DONG DONG NEVER DIE??!??!

Is Dong Dong Never Die becoming some kind of forced meme? I saw comments about it in the Evo vote thread as well.

 

[CountBlack]

DAIGO PLS WIN

 

[Lulubop]

500k for the whole tour, so part of the money went to the pot for their 16 qualifying events.

 

[Crisium]

Much better than when it was 16 players and best of 3 until winners/losers finals.

So much money. Team USA got two people into the top 8 at EVO this year, can they repeat at Capcom Cup?

 

[_jnup]

I hope Du fights against JWong so he could taunt the whole time.

 

[novablue]

Nice fight money, I hope Daigo comes for so many people's wigs this year.

 

[Producer]

Justin Wong will win it all.

0-2 incoming

 

[pablito]

Rooting for America.

Otherwise Gamerbee let's gooooo

 

[GnawtyDog]

125k. Now that's some fight money.

 

[ShinMaruku]

Justin Wong will win it all.

Against Daigo and Tokido? Those two own his soul.

 

[fader]

Wow they're actually giving more prize money than before.

you're not alone.

 

[Woody Invincible]

Boo! Should have been 3/5 for every match.

Against Daigo and Tokido? Those two own his soul.

Have you seen the new and improved Lame Wong?

I hope Du fights against JWong so he could taunt the whole time.

Will be watching for PRrog and Du. Du better be taunting.
