Month: August 2017

Japan Cup 2017 has concluded. After the smoke cleared, the results showed a surprisingly diverse character selection in top 8, with countries represented by their top players. It was a good showing for Capcom’s flagship fighter, and its community.

The official YouTube account of the CPT tour, Capcom Fighters, has compiled their top 5 moments from the event. There’s big comebacks, Daigo camera-aware goofiness, clutch parries, and Poongko’s inspiring Kolin, all on display here.

Shortly after Evo 2017, top players from the Topanga League (which includes some of world’s best players, such as former Street Fighter IV Evo champion GRPT|Fuudo) revised their personal tier list for Street Fighter V. In some places, the Topanga tier list has a considerably different selection of high tiers compared to American tier placements. VesperArcade decided to go through their tier list and contrast it with his own selections for top tier.

VesperArcade also shares his own requirements for what tools a character needs in order to make his top tier: such as throw loops, reversals, and matchup spread. Do you agree with his barometer?
