SF6 Capcom Cup X Prize Pool Clears $2M

Capcom Cup X cleared $2M — high-water mark for SF and a structural change worth tracking.

Lift came from regional event tier increases (Asia and LATAM circuits up materially), Capcom direct top-up, renewed sponsor commits. Per-tournament payouts also flatter, rewarding consistency over single-event runs.

TFZ read: healthy fighting-game scene needs durable prize economics. SF6 just got them.
