The Capcom Pro Tour is a big event where the company has teamed up with Twitch. They are going to be streaming a huge number of games for Street Fighter 4 in this area. So stay with us to find out about the event and why they are hosting it now.
The Capcom Pro Tour Itself
Much like EVO and other big tournaments they are going to be livestreaming a large number of events. However what sets this apart is they will be doing both tournaments and leagues for the game. This is perhaps the most comprehensive event we have seen in a long time.
You can of course check out the various events yourself on the tour site as well. It’s a great way for new people to join the fighting game scene as well. So far the matches have been in very good quality as you can see above.
Capcom, Die Hard Fans and Upset Gamers
Ever since the Megaman Legends fiasco there has been a rising current of gamers upset with the company. They were one of the first companies who gave us a shot as journalists so we will always stay with them. This situation illustrates the fact that there is a split in how people feel about the company.
This is probably one major reason why they decided to hold the Capcom Pro Tour. Fans like us will stay with them regardless but they need to create a new and bigger base through streaming. It makes sense in a lot of ways.
The Future of the Capcom Pro Tour
In a new era they need to redefine how they deliver their games. Everything from new properties like Remember Me to this big event is a part of their process of making that change.
It is definitely needed. Our evidence? Look at their stock lately. It has been up and down quite a bit in recent history. We hope that they can come through these changes stronger than ever. Hopefully our fans feel the same way.
