No one believed he would win the million - Capcom Cup X 

An unsponsored player who traveled to america with $300 in his pocket winning the tournament and becoming a millionaire is some hollywood feel good sports movie plotting

You always know it's gonna be a banger when you see Brine open up his browser and you see 30 tabs open

Knowing now that Uma was unsponsored just makes his victory so much sweeter.

It seems "If I win, I can show off my Oshi" Is a really powerful motivator.

The best part of the end of UMA vs. C.Wong. Prefect parry > DI > Burnout opponent > DI get Stun > Drive rush Combo call the game. what a SF6 moment.

This is unironically what the purpose of the online qualifiers was for. Allowing non sponsored players to compete. Low and behold, an unsponsored player wins even though the amount of comments in the discussion around the online qualifiers that went "you really think a noname will beat angrybird or menard" were an overwhelming majority.

This is the exact kind of story line I was hoping would play out. There was a lot of doom speak about group F ruining the tournament, but an unsponsored broke gamer made it to the summit. Repeat champions are good, but new champions are required for the competitive scene to move forward. No matter how else ya feel, can we all just embrace how amazing it was to not have the tournament end in a Luke mirror?

so glad Uma won, true underdog story

I still feel bad for Chris Wong, not because he lost, UMA played godlike and he deserved his 1mil, but because they interviewed Wong *right after he lost*. Dude was still processing that he just lost 700000$ and they start interviewing him immediately, thankfully UMA was respectful and didn't do the worm then and there.

Like Slasher said on Twitter, an unsponsored player winning $1 million dollars in a hololive anime hoodie over a sponsored player is the big difference between the FGC and eSports

I gotta say, as a new Street Fighter player, these videos are a godsend. The way you contextualize the players' history into the tournament recaps really helps me understand the big picture of these storylines. Amazing job, man!

The Capcom champ might not join Redbull SF invitational Kumite because its held in the same day of Hololive annual festival/concert. My man have their priorities straight

Watching this live was great, but why’d they gotta interview Chris Wong like that? Somebody better get a stern talking to for that

Great recap - this was almost like a sportscenter presentation. Good work.

As a salary man, I really feel for Chris Wong. I can only imagine how much better he could be as a full-time pro gamer.

I literally had never heard of Uma, but his games were awesome to watch. When he started using Juri lvl 1 to get under Luke's lvl 1, I really started paying attention. I also appreciate how when Chris Wong won the first set, I figured grand finals was going to be quick and dissapointing. But then Uma was pretty much like, "Call an ambulance... but not for me."

Just one small correction: Chris Wong first get qualified from France premier, then Uma qualified from Taiwan/Hong Kong WW regional final "AFTER". As a Taiwan FGC member, we fully aware that Chris Wong joins regional final purely for money (like you mentioned in the video, he's a salary man) and we respect his decision. Though Chris Wong did not being delayed to qualify because of UMA.

SO many people were saying all the players in Group G (INCLUDING Uma) didn’t even deserve to be at Capcom Cup. It’s only fitting someone from Group G ended up beating everyone and won it all.

This was an awesome recap. With how sparse the info can be sometimes, it's always nice to be learn the players' histories. Great video as always.

Definitely didn’t know of UMA Kagami before but he was so great to watch. Love this debrief, thanks for putting this together!

This is giving Mogul Mail energy - I appreciate you doing such a great job researching everything and allowing people who missed the event to understand the context behind it all as well!

When I saw Phenom against Chris Wong, I knew it was bad luck for Phenom. Chris has just been getting better and better throughout this season and he definitely had a hold on his nerves. Even Xian had a really hard time in offline tourney in Taiwan. Asia East definitely should NOT be underestimated... they often play against the top Japanese players and compete on even ground with them.

I applaud Brian's ability to not lose track of which tab to switch to and maintain his storytelling flow, because my eyes bulged at seeing how many he had open

I just love the fact that Uma rejected the invitation to Kumite... because is the same days as Hololive Fes, a massive multi-day concert and expo, he also appeared and red superchatted Mio not too long ago, the vtuber that wears that parka and is merch. One last thing, apparently Uma will not model Juri's skin like Mio, but instead another Hololive vtuber, Tokoyami Towa, due to her punk rock style fitting more for Juri.

I had always seen Uma pop up here n there, but never really considered him to be a world level player because I never saw him a lot on an international stage. My friends had zero idea who Uma and others on this bracket were. This is why the Online World Warrior format is so important for Capcom Cup.

Chris Wong played Nash in SFV and his cfn was `ChrisWongisGood`. Damm, he was right, he is good!

Great recap of the event! I didn't even realize Pacific East is the strongest region.. all four of them made it to the Top 8. Props to Gachikun for taking Rashid to Top 3 at Capcom Cup. Was it just me or the Japanese players have much more experience against Rashid? I found NL, Leshar and Sayff didn't handle Rashid's level 2 tornado that well.. but it could have been that Gachikun finally mastered Rashid. Just back in December/Nov Gachikun wasn't doing that well in Japan. But boy, he was excellent in the Loser's bracket, and was so close 2-3 against Chris Wong.

Actually I called it. There was a video where he beat Tokido 7 rounds straight. Uma has been showing a lot in ranked matches where he beat up top players.

I watched the top 16 live in its entirety and I still found this to be a compelling recap, great stuff!

hololive community was supporting Uma all the way yesterday, it was hyped.

Really happy that we ended up having a great story for the Capcom Cup and a new champ who definitely deserves it. The Rivalry Between Chris and Uma was epic as well

It was a fun tournament to watch. Also, great video, you really spun a nice tale out of the whole bracket.

I just got around to watching the main broadcast recently. I'm always amazed by Pros reaction time. I struggle to complete B&B combos - they manage to start them in a fraction of a second and then complete them. Anyway, I also always enjoy the Brian F analysis/summary of big FGC tournaments. I can tell thought went into it by how well the speech was and how organized the web-browser tabs were.

Thanks so much for making this video! Big tournaments are so much more enjoyable when you know more about the context and background of all the players. It’s so awesome to get all of that info explained really clearly in one place

1:06 glad you said World Cup of Street Fighter instead of Superbowl like I commonly hear.

An unknown player thats unsponsored coming in and winning it all with a character that wasn't even considered that it would be possible to win with, is some fairy tale stuff. As a Juri main I'm happy he did it and it kinda shut the mouths of all the complainers who were whining about Luke, JP and Ken all damned week. The whole week of Capcom cup was a pleasure to watch, even if the production fumbled the bag (wtf was up with the constant JP theme spam like Jesus Christ). I think with this unforseen winner Capcom will continue this path of the "world warrior" qualifications from each region. I just hope that they will add more qualifiers to the offline premiers so we get more "required viewing" tournaments throughout the year.

We got another underdog story here, and another true underdog Capcom cup champion, no one knew who's Uma was before Capcom Cup X, but now, EVERYONE KNOWS HIS NAME. amazing work as usual Brian.

You and Nephew do such a good job of adding stakes to the SF6 tournament scene. Capcom should be paying for this :P

99% of people have never heard of him, including those of us who watch alot of SF. Zhen nearly did the same last year getting to GF.

Love these videos, doing wonders to make the SF6 competitive scene more accessible. Chris Wong / Uma history + tournament overlap with 4 of the top 8 is incredible info.

My bet was for Chris Wong to win Capcom Cup, but I was very impressived with how tight and on-point UMA managed to keep his gameplay throughout top 16

Man Love when you break down tourneys. Thanks man, I couldn't keep up with it live. Luv ya for keeping me hype for this game.

Not only was it great that a true underdog won the final, but he also beat them all with a character that many did not expect to win. All the best players was using Luke, JP, DJ and KEN.....HAH!

omfg, that is a sick recap. thanks for the storyline, i had no idea who UMA is and this is truly amazing for him, hope to see more of UMA

Outstanding recap, boss. I'm not going to lie. I was tossing mad nonsense about "Nero the motha#%%# boxer" in my friend group. Little did we know he was out there showing the world he had what it takes. I knew Kusanagi was going to do well, I just didn't see Problem X drowning in pools after he fought tooth and nail to get out of CPT. Everybody was calling this the easy group. "Anybody who clawed their way out was into the top 16 no problem" As it turns out, what a certain pro dubbed 'burgers' were actually out there ready to cook. Uma taking it all, no sponsor, no need to spend an exorbitant amount of money out there for 1k into Evo, as an older gentlemen tells probably the biggest story of all. If you believe and you work at it, you can do it. How's that for an inspirational narrative. If this was that old points system with all those expensive behind tournaments, Uma would have never made it here. Have a deep think about that. I sure do. I'm sure he's deep thinking about it too. Here's hoping we see them all again next year.

Thanks for the vid, Brian. As a long-time SF fan (since SF2), you gave me a lot of information that I didn't know previously and explained a lot. I had been thinking "Who are these guys?" about many of the players and you explained all of that. Very interesting.

Really appreciate the coverage for this and previous FGC events, as someone new to the community it’s been invaluable to get the background on the many players and stories during the current and previous seasons. Keep it up Brian!

UMA had so many specific situations labbed out. It was crazy.

Just wanna say I appreciate these deep dives on tournament storylines and player backgrounds, they add a lot to merely watching two people play on a stage

Great video Brian on providing some background on each player and some context on their journey to the tourny. I personally had Chris Wong winning it all back in the group stage but was still happy to see Uma win it all with Juri. If i had known more about his success in the east Asia region and being a training partner with Chris i might of came to a different conclusion early on.

Great piece Brian. One of the upsides to a "World Cup" style CPT season, is getting to hear new stories. Uma's story is almost a Cinderella or Rocky kind of story.

Thanks Brian! Had no back story on Uma. Like a good Capcom man, you’ve filled me in!

Really incredible job with this summary. You are truly one of the best Street Fighter historians out there man, you always do a fantastic job at assembling all the lore associated with each tournament.

You've done an amazing job. You've single handedly kept us in the loop and made some sense of this format.

I watched the top16 in your re-stream and I loved the commentary. Keep it up Braian, love your content and your insight!

We were doing a watch party on my side and we were going to chat through the Kawano/Kusanagi match since it was another Ken/Luke...but boiiii that was my favorite set of the night. Overall that event was fire. Really hyped and loved it!

The final round is like a ufc match. Uma corner his opponent knowing he's bleeding and daze going all in.😂

one thing I remember before Capcom Cup started was that people were really complaining about the groups seeding, I still remember the calls from people saying it was unfair how group F was too stacked with big players, and I think this proved one thing from sports that happens a lot on big competitions, just because you're a big name doesn't mean you will perform well on the tournament. this isn't a diss against people like Angry Bird who I was surprised he couldn't get out of pools, but I don't think he would have gotten much farther if he was in a different group, top 16 saw quite a few big names fall out, UMA played incredibly well the whole tournament, so in a weird way he winning the tournament kinda validated the format. This still doesn't mean the format is perfect, I do believe there is a better way to implement seedings, and I believe Capcom should try to go back to a whole season ranking to create a way to guarantee from the qualified players the top ranked players all go to different groups for example, but it would be interesting to see how the point system for the whole season would be implemented, that's something that I feel Capcom should at least try, or find a different solution for this no their own though.

You are a very talented story teller. That paired with your game knowledge makes this my favorite type of content you produce. Just felt like sharing.

Thank you for making this CPT season engaging Brian.

Actually while world warrior Asia East Regional Final took place Chris Wong was already qualified for Capcom Cup X And before the Regional Final During World Warrior Asia East #1-#5 Uma lost to Chris Wong Every Single Time! Even when Uma finally beat Chris to qualify for Capcom Cup as a World Warrior Asia East Champion It somehow feels like Chris Wong was not utilizing his full power cuz he was already qualified anyway So Uma isn’t the demon of Chris Wong It’s the opposite! That’s why we feel more surprised that he actually conquered his demon at the biggest stage of them all! Congrats to Uma327/Kagami🎉 You make us all proud here in Taiwan❤

UMA's anti airs are so good. Dude is like a heat seeking missile as soon as you leave the ground.

Brian that was a great breakdown man. Really set the stage for the drama with the human story behind the characters and the techniques. Excellent excellent job very entertaining.

No, we fellow hololive fans believed in him when he walks on stage wearing Mio's hoodie

To all the favorites expected to win, remember these words from the first street fighter game: What strength!!! But remember there are fighters like you all over the world.

Ayo thanks Brian giving great breakdown as usual, shout out CANADA and that mf UMA came outta nowhere lol

*It was all for Mio.*

8:05 famous last words

Great recap, I watched all Capcom Cup X stream, but the recap still worth to watch again.

When dreams come true. Congrats to Uma

Watched the whole tournament live, but still had to stop by Brian to get the LORE.

Travis "Chad-Li" Styles losing to that yolo DP was hilarious because of how much was at risk. I would have been so salty to lose like that in such a high profile tournament. lol

I hate watching streams but watching your stories is what I love

Love the compliation and summary of the cup! Great content Brian!

Wow...what a story. Thanks for breaking this down in the way you do

Great to see the tournament still ended up with a great story line after the bracket sitting situation

Such a great recap. Props mah dood❤

Thanks for this video bro. I didnt know what happened after Mena won. when I started back watching, he was gone! I was like wtf happened!

Who knew that flowchart Ken was the answer to Capcom Cup 😂 congrats and shoutouts to Uma for the win 🏆

I'm very happy for UMA, but I hope Capcom more evenly distributes money to players for Capcom Cup 11 and throughout the season. More offline events that provide more money means people like UMA can more sustainably do this thing without being completely destitute. Having only $300 in Los Angeles for two weeks is a nightmare I have lived through, and I hope the players I root for don't have to experience that or worse for the *chance* of winning real money.

Never been more proud to be a juri main.

😂 Chris's Wong.

Great job putting all of this together! Your PC must've been sweating heavily with all those tabs open 🤣🤣🤣

This video was better highlight and color commentary than you get on ESPN.

Thanks for these videos Brian

Bro got that God and His Idol power on his side!

this was a true dream come true insane ... what a 1st capcom cup of SF6 crazy

your content is really amazing the way you wanted to keep the history of the player and tournament they way the way you share the story with world is really admirable, instead of kipping just for characters chard you want to preserve the story of the player who are controlling them , thanks for that this is what the esport on general really need .

Side note, it looks like UMA was wearing a japanese hololive vtuber sweater merch, and that when twitter fans of hololive noticed that, they just had to root for him :D

i watched quite a bit of the tourney and top 16 but the scheduling was so horrible for EU that I couldn't watch all of it. so this recap was a really good watch, thanks

I watched the tournament, but I could totally see there being a bunch of people who don't have time, so these recaps are a good idea I think.

Now this is sf6 content, Brian. Love the format!

Always great having a story time with Bryan

I hope thescore or some other high production team ends up doing a short docu on uma. He seems like such i cool dude!

I predicted Chris to be there, but I've never even heard of Uma. Crazy ending for sure

Capcom, Sony… take the script from this man’s yt video and make it into a movie about UMA and Chris Wong.

Those tabs… your RAM is just fighting for its life huh? Your computer is starting its own Villian arc and you don’t even know.

imagine being like "all I had to do was block the dp and I'd be a millionare"

Great coverage Brian! Congrats to Uma!

Yeah man … I know a lot of People wanted AngryBird or Mena to win .. but it was so sad to see Xian go for me man 🤦🏻‍♂️ he was doing so fucken good … hopefully next time he goes all the way
