Right when we felt as though we didn’t get enough Capcom vs SNK 2 references, Capcom gave us more. Uma takes home the $1 Million USD prize, the Ryu trophy, from last night’s Capcom Cup X Street Fighter 6 Grand Finals against Chris Wong in a runback from the loser bracket. Juri players were truly represented with Uma last night. Uma caused a reset, at 3-0 Chris Wong, and dominated the second set afterward.
The purple spider got all the Feng Sui setups in to establish pressure in several moments to secure the final win. A highlight would definitely be the clutch victory of the Juri’s low projectile in the first set.
