With Capcom Cup 2014 drawing ever closer, speculation has begun to run rampant regarding everything from bracket placements for the sixteen qualified players to the format they will be competing in.
Just this morning, Capcom’s Neidel “Haunts” Crisan laid one of these points to rest by revealing the tournament will be played in best of three sets (otherwise known as two out of three) until grand finals, where it will then shift to best of five (or three out of five). This was done, he says, in the interest of time, mentioning that even with these restrictions the event is set to run for at least six hours due to the 30+ matches that will be necessary to crown a champion.
Crisan relayed to us that more details, including an official bracket, will be released later today, so stay tuned.

Earlier this morning, Capcom TV went live with another special broadcast focused, in part, on Ultra Street Fighter IV. As part of the show, they welcomed Evil Geniuses’ Momochi and ChocoBlanka onto the program to lend their competitive expertise to the proceedings.
Before that, however, producers Tomoaki Ayano and Koichi Sugiyama ran through a handful of changes coming to characters like Adon, Cody, Hugo, Cammy, C. Viper, Vega, and Dan. These are the same clips the Capcom representatives premiered at WECG 2014’s Japanese qualifier this past weekend, fortunately providing a look at these updates outside of a live stream and making coarse rips of their property unnecessary.
After that, further additions made in this unique mode are demonstrated through matches between the aforementioned players and producers, giving us previews of how Sakura, Rolento, Evil Ryu, Ryu, Blanka, and Ken may perform in actual competition.
To close out the segment, Momochi faces off against a trio of mysterious masked fighters from Capcom before being paired up against ChocoBlanka for one final exhibition.
You’ll find all the footage mentioned above in the video below. Check it out and let us know what you think of Omega Mode in the comments.
UltraChen TV is back with yet another broadcast, and a whole new slate of topics to discuss. Tonight, they will be discussing DreamHack Winter 2014, Capcom Cup, the top ten Ultra Street Fighter IV players in North America, Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-, and more.
The stream will be live in this article, but you can also visit Twitch to join the chat.
If you’re looking to pick up a capture device for your next combo video or online session and can’t bear the thought of owning something without Ryu’s scowling mug on it, you’re in luck. Today marks the release of AVerMedia’s latest Live Gamer Portable, specifically branded for Ultra Street Fighter IV.
While the outside may be different, the insides are all the same, including compatibility with PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC. It also comes bundled with a free, year-long premium license for XSplit.
Our very own Patrick Miller reviewed the original Live Gamer Portable back in 2013, saying that, while the small form and ease of use is a bonus, it is a bit pricier than other devices and carries some software limitations. The entire review can be read here if you’re interested in his full thoughts.
This version of AVerMedia’s Live Gamer Portable can be purchased through Amazon and Newegg, with an added discount through the latter if you happen to be a premier member.
We’ve seen Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition available at some crazy low prices over the past few months, but it’s hard to top the PlayStation Plus bonus currently available. As of today, subscribers to the online service can now download the PlayStation 4 version free of charge. If you’ve somehow missed out on this heroic title until now, the price can’t really get any better than this.
And since it’s the Ultimate Edition package, all of the previously released downloadable characters and costumes are included for, you guessed it, no extra charge.
This deal will run for the whole month of December, so if you find yourself in possession of a holiday-related PlayStation 4, don’t forget to pick up Injustice before the calendar flips over to 2015.
The folks over at VG BootCamp recently went live with another installment of Smash @ Xanadu from Xanadu Games in Baltimore, Maryland. These weekly broadcasts provide a great look at the region’s Smash community. Tonight’s stream will focus entirely on the recently released Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
If you’re interested in some Smash Bros. action, be sure to tune in. The stream is live below, but you can also head on over to Twitch to join the chat.
With Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- set to land in North America on December 16, Aksys Games recently came forward with some unfortunate news regarding the title’s special edition package.
According to the publisher, ongoing strikes in the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have caused unexpected delays in the shipping of key Limited Edition components, a hold-up that will cause the bundle to miss the original release date. They are currently unsure exactly how far this will push back shipment, but have made an estimate of one or two weeks.
“Aksys Games takes this matter seriously and will continue to update everyone as soon as we can,” the news explains. “We would like to apologize for the delay and inconvenience that this has caused.”
Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-‘s limited edition attaches a variety of extras to the game, including unique packaging, an exclusive character book, a keychain fashioned after Sol Badguy’s belt buckle, and more.
Luckily, fans can still expect to grab the standard version on December 16.
