Grâce à son Urien ultra technique, le joueur Japonais avait remporté la compétition d’une main de maître en mai 2017.

Street Fighter V: It's About Capcom-Unity
Street Fighter V: It’s About Capcom-unity Sony and Capcom are set to take the fighting game community to the Promised Land. “Fighting games are dying.” It’s said time and again. With dwindling sales and a limited appeal compared to AAA games of other genres, many believe fighting games are on their deathbed. Yet despite their declining sales figures, fighting games have created one of the most passionate communities in all of gaming: the fighting game community. That, in no small part, is down to the success of Street Fighter. As Matthew Edwards [fighting games community manager for Capcom UK] states, “Street Fighter has been a mainstay of competitive gaming ever since Guile threw his first Sonic Boom.” Since Street Fighter II’s release in 1991 everything has changed. Now, fighting games are facing their biggest challenge to date. Low sales means less developers are willing to invest in fighting games and the genre could potentially end up as dead as the text adventure. At the same time, however, the fighting game community is in full bloom. As Justin Wong [professional fighting game player] states, “[The tournament scene] has grown substantially. Because of streaming and new technology, the numbers of tournament competitors and spectators has increased significantly.” While the games struggle to sell, the scene grows exponentially. Capcom fully understand that for Street Fighter V to succeed, they need to work with the fighting game community. “Capcom is committed to growing the community and giving the tournament players a real incentive to push the game further,” says Edwards.
