This match turned out to be a rook-mirror showdown. Both players were not intimidated, and continued to aggressively choose their moves. First, Kawano took the lead.

As the mirror duel continued, Otani, who had only a few dots left in the game, used his courage to take back the lead, making the score 1-1!

The game is now 2-2, with neither player giving an inch. Kawano would win the championship, and Otani would reset the game if he won.

Otani, in a burnout state, takes a defensive position to recover his gauge. Despite his gauge advantage, Kawano did not force his opponent to attack, but instead attacked with a drive rush as soon as Otani's drive gauge recovered! Kawano, who was on the offensive until the very end, took the win! Congratulations to Kawano!

As the winner of the "CAPCOM Pro Tour 2023 Online Premier" Japan Tournament, Kawano has earned the right to participate in the "CAPCOM CUP X". You can watch archived footage of the tournament on the YouTube channel " Capcom Fighters JP " or on Twitch.
