Comment from Masashi Saruwatari, General Producer
PR TIMESIt has been 33 years since I directed a national tournament for "Street Fighter II" in 1991. I have been a driving force behind the fighting game boom. I am happy to see that "Street Fighter 6" is supported by an unprecedentedly wide range of players of all ages, and that the game is attracting an influx of players from a variety of genres, who are competing against each other. We are pleased to produce this tournament to encourage such momentum. We hope that more people will participate, including those who have been playing for many years, those who are making their fighting game debut with this title, and the younger generation who have never experienced an offline tournament in the first place. Let's have fun!
Comment from Junichi Kagezawa, tournament advisor
PR TIMESMy name is Kagezawa Junichi. Ever since I participated in the Gamestop Cup for "Street Fighter III" when I was in high school, I have been fascinated by tournaments and have been following Mr. Saruwatari's footsteps for the past 25 years. Now, with "Street Fighter 6," we are using the experience we gained from "Street Fighter III," "Street Fighter IV," and "Street Fighter V" to create the "Fighters Crossover", based on the experience gained from "Street Fighter III", "Street Fighter IV" and "Street Fighter V", we are holding official competitions and tournaments in about 30 locations throughout Japan. Thank you very much for your continued support. For the CAPCOM Pro Tour, I was the tournament director for the OFFLINE PREMIER event held at the Tokyo Game Show in 2016 and the tournament producer for the WORLD WARRIOR events in 2022 and 2023. I am very excited that the first offline PREMIER event will be held in Japan in five years, and that the final, CAPCOM CUP 11, will be held in my hometown, Ryogoku Kokugikan. In my role as tournament advisor, I hope to make this event a memorable one for not only the Japanese players, but also the international players visiting Japan, and the fans and community who came to the venue. If you have any requests or wishes, please feel free to contact me. Let's have fun together!
