Capcom to Hold Street Fighter V Tournament in Japan on December 23
Throughout its time in development, Capcom has occasionally held pre-release tournaments for Street Fighter V at events such as E3 and PlayStation Experience. Now, what may likely be the largest tournament of its type will be happening soon.
The developers, in cooperation with Well Played and YUBIKEN, will be hosting a special 64-player Street Fighter V competition next week in Tokyo, Japan.
YUBIKEN’s Karipaku is set to emcee the event while Shiro and Yoshiwo will provide commentary. The tournament itself will be streamed via Niconico Live.
The tournament will apparently use the latest playable build of the game, but its website does not list F.A.N.G, so folks hoping to see competitive footage of the newcomer will likely be disappointed. In any case, this is sure to be one of our earliest looks at Street Fighter V strategy from the Japanese scene, so be sure to tune in around 1 PM JST on Wednesday, December 23 (8 PM PST, 11 PM EST on December 22).
