Alongside the recent announcement of the Necalli costume designed by Kazunoko and all of the new additions coming in the September 22nd update to Street Fighter V, Capcom have released the figures of how much money has been added to the Capcom Cup pot through the purchase of special SFV DLC.
You will remember at this year’s Evo the special Capcom Pro Tour bundle was announced, which included the Ring of Destiny stage, costumes for Chun-Li and Cammy (and now Necalli), as well as a special CPT default color scheme for all of the roster. While many did quarrel with the price of the DLC, Capcom have raised roughly $92,182 which will be added to the grand prize pool at this year’s Capcom Cup in December. The actual breakdown of the DLC sales figures means that a minimum of 30% of the DLC revenue goes to the prize pool, with 50% helping fund Capcom Pro Tour productions. This means that Sony receives a maximum of 20% of the DLC earnings, meaning that a minimum of 80% of the DLC profits go back into the CPT in one way or another.
As for the availability of this CPT bundle, the pack will actually go off PSN Store shelves in November, so the money can be tallied up properly and a exact figure can go into the Capcom Cup prize pot. It’s possible that once Capcom Cup is finished, the bundle will go back on sale to help fill the pot back up for Capcom Cup 2017. With the Ring of Destiny stage, there are also plans to integrate more tournaments into the background graphics via server maintenance–but at the moment, Evo and Capcom Cup are the only two tournaments whose logos appear on the screens on the back of the stage.
