Capcom Shares Their Favorite Moments from Ultra Hyakkishu Cup 2015

Over the weekend, Tokyo, Japan played host to Ultra Hyakkishu Cup, a 128-player Ultra Street Fighter IV tournament that brought out top talent to compete for cash prizes as well as a qualifying spot at Capcom Cup. As they’ve done for plenty of recent tournaments, the folks at Capcom handpicked their top five moments and compiled them in a special video, which we’ve embedded below.

Fresh off his new status as a free agent, Nemo had an impressive showing, taking his twirling baton and satchel of stingers all the way to the grand finals match against Red Bull’s Bonchan. And though he didn’t manage to pull out a victory in the tournament itself, by making it as far as he did, Nemo managed to guarantee a spot in the Capcom Pro Tour.

But there’s plenty more to see besides these two players, including Nishikin’s Blanka and EG|Momochi’s Ken. For full tournament results, you can check out our coverage hub.

Them’s Fightin’ Herds Crowdfund Meets $436,000 Goal

Starting any kind of crowdfunding campaign is a risky proposition, especially when you stand to walk away penniless if you miss your goal. Fortunately, the folks at Mane6 have a ton to celebrate today after recently hitting the $436,000 mark, which means they will be able to bring Them’s Fightin’ Herds to life.

This news comes shortly after the title was approved by Steam through their Greenlight program, giving the indie developers the opportunity to publish their four-legged fighter on the hyper-popular storefront.

But their journey is far from over. The next horizon comes in the form of numerous stretch goals, from porting the game to Mac and Linux to adding a new character to the initial cast. With a little less than three days left, this is the home stretch, so head on over to Indiegogo to check out what you can do to help.
