The last few weeks have been a flurry of Ultra Street Fighter IV competition as we near the end of the Capcom Pro Tour, and the folks in Kuwait provided quite a show this past weekend during KO Fighting Game Festival 2015. The local Middle Eastern talent has proven themselves a community to be reckoned with at past events, but the lure of an automatic Capcom Cup qualifier brought the visiting competitors out in full force.
Despite appearances by Razer trio Xian, Fuudo, and Itabashi; -R-, Super Santarou Man, KichijojiKEN, and Dashio of YUBIKEN; and even Falcon Arena’s Ryan Hart, regional players were still able to make their mark on the event. Latif, perhaps best known as the Evo 2011 runner-up, was able to crack the top three, while Kuwait’s own Ganoon and Nox of the United Arab Emirates closed the tournament out at fifth and seventh place, respectively.
If you missed out on watching this event live, Capcom Fighters have you covered with replays. We’ve included their footage of the entire top 16 bracket below, and you can find more tournament footage and Capcom’s top five moments here.
