The Street Fighter 6 competitive scene has reached a critical juncture, and the dust has finally settled on the Capcom Pro Tour 2025. With the Kuaishou FightClub Championship 6 coming to a close, we now know the six warriors who will battle it out at Capcom Cup 12. But here's where it gets controversial... not everyone who earned their spot through the global leaderboard is a fan favorite!
The return of the Capcom Pro Tour global leaderboard after a long hiatus has brought some unexpected twists. Only a handful of fighters could secure their place at Capcom Cup through tournament points alone, and the final Premier event shook things up even more.
FLY|Punk, who was previously ranked eighth with 350 points, soared to the top with a remarkable third-place finish in China, accumulating 600 points. However, this also meant that Mouz|EndingWalker, who was previously in a qualifying spot, just missed out despite being tied in points with DFM|Itabashi Zangief.
Reject|Tokido, a longtime pro, had a strong showing at Kuaishou FightClub, but his fifth-place finish wasn't quite enough to crack the top six. And this is the part most people miss... Punk's impressive jump in the rankings pushed Tokido down to eighth place, highlighting the fine line between success and disappointment in the world of competitive gaming.
There's still hope for fan favorites like Punk and Tokido, as the World Warrior events continue to offer 25 additional spots for Capcom Cup. But the retirement of reigning champion Kakeru due to illness has added an unexpected twist to the narrative. His automatic inclusion has now gone to Reject|AngryBird, who steps into the spotlight.
So, who are the six warriors who have qualified for Capcom Cup 12 through the global leaderboard?
