This weekend is Japan’s biggest yearly Street Fighter III tournament, the 15th edition of Cooperation Cup. The 3rd Strike scene continues to show its strength with its largest turnout for the tournament series yet.

Below is a translation of the team list, provided by hismit.

The action starts with the Pre-Cooperation Cup, a 5-on-5 team tournament in which same character teams are encouraged (but not required). The following day is the Cooperation Cup 5-on-5 itself, which allows for duplicate characters on teams but requires team compositions of at least three different characters. Both events are broken up into multiple rounds of play, starting with the first and second rounds, which will determine 7 of the 8 finals tournament teams, with the remaining team decided by the playoff rounds.

Each day of the event is scheduled to start at 10:00 AM JST (8:00 PM EST, 5:00 PM PST), with the finals schedule to start around 5:30 PM JST (3:30 AM EST, 12:30 AM PST). For more information on format and schedule, check out this helpful Google doc.

Check out all the high-level 3rd Strike live from Tokyo Leisure Land Pallet Town on Ooyama Game Newton’s Twitch channel.
