Shoryuken’s World Rankings Add Capcom Pro Tour Support
Last year, Shoryuken worked closely with developer Bavo Bruylandt to create an extensive world ranking system for Street Fighter and Marvel.

As that tournament circuit goes by its own rankings, it can be a little annoying to have to switch back and forth between both to see how qualified players stack up on Shoryuken. Not only that, but Bruylandt’s support for Capcom Pro Tour stats also includes things like estimated winnings, score and rank differentials after every tournament, candidates for qualification based off points accrued, and more.
