Capcom Cup 2015 Announced for December 6, Taking Place at PlayStation Experience in San Francisco

After months and months of competition, the folks at Capcom have finally revealed that Capcom Cup will take place on December 6. This year’s installment of the prestigious fighting game tournament will once again take place in San Francisco, California, this time as part of Sony’s PlayStation Experience convention.

Tickets are currently available for purchase and come in a variety of flavors. Those wanting to check out Capcom Cup live should do their best to score either the Sunday-only pass ($40) or the early bird two-day discount ($60, raises to $75 after September 20 or until supplies last). If you really want to watch in style, however, the convention is also offering the special Capcom Cup VIP Package, which includes premium seating, a goodie bag, and access to an exclusive after-party hosted by Twitch and Showdown.gg.

Please keep in mind that the purchase of a Saturday-only ticket will not grant you access to Capcom Cup on Sunday.

With thirty-two of the best Street Fighter players vying for their share of the $250,000 prize pool, you certainly won’t want to miss seeing Capcom Cup in person. Be sure to check the official announcement for more details on special hotel accommodations if you’ll be visiting from out of town.

Alpharad Protects Dreamland in Latest Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Video

Back in early June, Alpharad, perhaps best known for his comedic approach to disrespecting opponents in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, decided to take a break from producing the How to Play 101 series. This break, which looked as though it could have been a permanent stepping away from Smash-related content, seems to have come to an end earlier this month when he uploaded a How to Play dedicated to Lucas.

And he didn’t stop there. Today, he brings us a highlight reel with Dreamland’s resident pink puff positively destroying the competition in For Glory mode. If you’ve had the pleasure of checking out Alpharad’s work in the past, you’ll likely have a pretty good idea of what to expect in this most recent reel.

So sit back, relax, and get ready for some of the most ridiculous and unnecessary kill tactics that Kirby has to offer.
