Final Round 20 Confirmed to Be Part of This Year’s Capcom Pro Tour

With Street Fighter V’s second season now in full swing, many people are looking forward to this year’s Capcom Pro Tour. With last year’s rather confusing qualifying structure, more than a few are wondering at how this year’s tour will be changed up.

Now while no announcement has been made yet regarding this year’s structure, we now know of of at least one major tournament that will be part of it. In a recent tweet, the organizers behind Final Round 20 have confirmed that the event will once again be a part of the Capcom Pro Tour.

Final Round has usually been one the first major tournaments in the Capcom Pro Tour each year–and for the past couple of years, has been the first Premier event. Whether or not it will be the same again this year is yet to be seen.

Final Round 20 takes place on March 10 to 12, at the Georgia International Convention Center in Atlanta, GA.

PR Balrog Encounters Glitch that Lets Him Play Season 1 Version of Balrog Online in Street Fighter V

Street Fighter V’s second season brought a significant number of balance changes to the game’s existing cast; despite this however, the data for season one still exists in the game’s code, mostly to allow replays from the previous season to still work, despite all the changes.

However, it seems that there is a way to play as the season one version of the characters–at least by accident. In a recent stream, Eduardo “PR Balrog” Perez experienced a glitch in an online match that reverted Balrog to his season one version. He noticed this after being unable to perform Screw Smash, which had its input changed to a dragon punch (forward, down, down-forward) in season two, from a charge motion in season two. You can check this out in these clips from PR Balrog’s stream below.

The exact method of invoking this glitch is as of yet unknown. However, the theory is that it happens when a player gets disconnected during the loading process before a match starts.
