The 2018 Capcom Pro Tour is reaching the end of its road this weekend with the annual Capcom Cup. This is where the 32 top players in the world will compete to become the single best Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition player in the world. Only one player will hold the trophy over their head at the end of the weekend.

How much is the Capcom Cup prize pool?

The Capcom Cup's base prize pool sits at $250,000, with $120,000 going to the grand prize winner. However, over the course of the year, Capcom has offered its annual CPT DLC pack. With 70 percent of the proceeds from sales going to the Capcom Cup 2018 pot, the prize pool now sits at over $400,000 and counting.

Capcom Cup 2018 Schedule

There's still a spot open in the final tournament, which means the weekend will open with the Last Chance Qualifier on Friday, December 14 at 10AM PT. There are currently over 200 entrants. The field includes some of the best players in the world, including 2016 Capcom Cup runner-up Ricki Ortiz, Street Fighter legend Alex Valle, ELEAGUE standout Bryant "Smug" Huggins, and Red Bull Esports' Darryl "Snake Eyez" Lewis.

Once the Last Chance Qualifier is decided, the Top 32 will play out starting on Saturday, December 15 at 10AM PT.

How to watch the 2018 Capcom Cup live

Capcom will have its primary Twitch stream available on Capcom Fighters.

A secondary Twitch channel will be utilized for the Last Chance Qualifier and for the Top 32. Find that on capcomfighters2.

I'll probably catch the LCQ to see if there is any decent character variety going on and the finals to see what the season 4 announcement is. I'm pretty bored of SFV as it currently stands.

[Nymphae]

I want to see someone bring Ryu back. No one uses him anymore. I guess people play to win at tournaments obviously and the hardcore street fighter pros seem to all agree Ryu is ass, but everyone loves an underdog. I'm sure it's not impossible for a pro to win with him.

 

[Shouta]

Flaquito did a surprising amount of work today. Huge props to them.

 

[caffeware]

b.u.m.p.

 

[Hobbesian]

GodDAMMIT, Punk.

FUCK,

 

[Hobbesian]

Wong is SO lame, Goddamn.

 

[caffeware]

I like Wong, but I hate Menat.

 

[Hobbesian]

Christ and Wong repping America well!

 

[caffeware]

Mago, Fuudo, Tokido, Daigo all in losers.

 

[Hobbesian]

Who did Daigo lose to?

 

[caffeware]

Who did Daigo lose to?

Punk 2-3. First round.

https://smash.gg/tournament/capcom-cup-2018-1/events/capcom-cup-2018/brackets/470665/829259

 

[caffeware]

Daigo is free!

 

[Hobbesian]

Please don't tell me Daigo got eliminated! I took a quick nap and i haven't gotten to see him play all weekend!

 

[caffeware]

Sorry.

Please don't tell me Daigo got eliminated! I took a quick nap and i haven't gotten to see him play all weekend!

Sorry...

 

[Hobbesian]

Capcom Cup just goes to show why every tournament should be first to 3 in the Top 8.

How many players have come back to win from an 0-2 or 2-1 deficit? Too many to count.

 

[Hobbesian]

Again.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

yessss, menaRD is gone.

 

[caffeware]

Caba guile >>>>> daigo

 

[Hobbesian]

yessss, menaRD is gone.

Lol what a hater.





I actually share the sentiment lol

 

[caffeware]

That Ken was nice.

 

[Hobbesian]

That Ken was nice.

Yeah, Chris Tatarian is one of my favorite players to watch. He's just like me: passionate, arrogant, and hard-headed to a fault, and that spills over into his gameplay. He's had to mature a lot in the passed year or so to find his current success, but not to the point that it has diminished his edge.

I thought for sure he would get bodied by Xiohai, since they're similar players but Xio is just more seasoned, but Chris is playing on another level at the moment.

 

[caffeware]

Menat so annoying.

 

[Hobbesian]

Fucking dab on camera in 2018 brehs

white people

 

[Hobbesian]

Glad to see Justin Wong winning again. I'll be rooting for him in top 8 tomorrow.

 

[Hobbesian]

Good shit to Angry Bird but it's pretty obvious that people don't know the Zeku matchup.

 

[Hobbesian]

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

 

[gioGAF]

Ugh, that Justin Wong match, I wanted X to win :-(

This is based mostly on my character preference btw (M. Bison, Guile are my old mains)

 

[zenspider]

yessss, menaRD is gone.

I was butthurt he beat Tokido last year, but it's hard to hate him after James Chen talked about how much he did for the FGC in DR tonight.

 

[SALMORE]

Glad that AngryBird made it into Top 8

 

[caffeware]

Top 8
Fudoh Fujimura
JEcho Fox JWong
Gachikun
Bonchan
RZR Xian
IDNG | Itabashi Zangief
Momochi
Amjad alshalabi NASR|AngryBird

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Between Angrybird's success and Momochi taking out Oil King and Tokido, this is turning into a real breakout moment for Zeku.

Meanwhile no Cammys, Guiles or Akumas in top 8, lol

 

[caffeware]

b.u.m.p.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

You know this is a hard one to call. There's a lot of players I just really like, like Xian, Momochi, Bonchan and Itazan. Then there's players who look extremely strong, like Gachikun and Fujimura. But maybe Jwong can just lame everybody to death. Or maybe Angrybird will pull something off. I just don't feel confident about making a prediction.

 

[caffeware]

The band is trash. singer is ok-ish.

 

[Lanrutcon]

Whatever is currently happening on that stage

needs to be stopped

I don't care who does it

 

[caffeware]

 

[Lanrutcon]

How is he still going

what demonic power fuels this blasphemy

whatever we did WE'RE SORRY WE WON'T DO IT AGAIN

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Well it's nice that his rap song encourages kids to brush their teeth and "wash they ass." But positive message aside, yeah this is really hard to listen to.

Where's DJ ipad? He actually plays streetfighter music!

 

[caffeware]

this is going on forever

 

[SALMORE]

i bet capcom paid them in fight money

 

[TacosNSalsa]

.....I wanna watch ads...thought twitch prime was to stop with the ad free viewing??

 

[caffeware]

hes *almost* to good for capcom

 

[caffeware]

that chorus...

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

President of the World!

G... Please don't increase petrol taxes on low income earthlings

 

[Rentahamster]

Okay hold up... What in the fuck is this lmfao.

Suffer... Suffer like G did.

 

[Lanrutcon]

I feel like we're being punished for something. Maybe we didn't buy enough costume packs or something, and this is the result.

 

[Hobbesian]

I skipped out on seeing Spider-verse with some friends because I was alarmed to find out that Top 8 started way earlier than I originally expected (4PM EST instead of 8). I rushed home from work thinking that I'd missed a good amount already.

WTF did I just flake on my friends for?
