Catch Up on Capcom Pro Tour’s Early Street Fighter V Action from Final Round 19

This weekend, Street Fighter V competitors the world over traveled out to Atlanta, Georgia to take part in the first premier stop on this year’s Capcom Pro Tour, Final Round 19. The tournament drew out over a thousand competitors for the new title, and there was plenty of action to be seen on stream throughout the course of the weekend.

If you missed out, don’t worry; the folks at Capcom Fighters were quick to get replay footage from the event online, and you can currently watch archived footage of the whole top eight bracket.

Not only were players from a number of countries represented in this final series, but each of those who survived that long did so with a different character. It’s hard to say if this speaks to the sort of future we can expect from Street Fighter V, but it’s definitely a good way to get things started.

Below, we’ve included the winners, losers and grand finals matches featuring RZR|Infiltration, MCZ|Mago, and MCZ|Tokido, but you can catch furher replays here. And for full tournament results, head over to our coverage hub.

More King of Fighters XIV Footage Surfaces from South Korea’s PlayStation Arena

South Korea, alongside Latin America and China, is known as one of the more popular regions for King of Fighters competition. With this in mind, SNK Playmore trotted out a playable build of King of Fighters XIV last Sunday at PlayStation Arena in Seoul. Luckily for those who weren’t able to attend, Gato ray captured a good amount of off-screen footage.

As the developers are still using an older build, likely the one shown at C3 Expo in February, none of the recently announced characters were playable. That said, the videos below still provide glimpses of aspects we may have missed in previous footage, including King’s ground bounce off her EX Tornado Kick, her Surprise Rose Desperation Move, Leona having a follow-up from Grand Saber yet again, the start of Robert’s EX Ranbu, and more.

King of Fighters XIV is coming to PlayStation 4 later this year.
