Capcom
Begins Mystery Countdown
|
|
|
|
 Between
late Sunday evening and early Monday morning, Capcom unveiled a mystery countdown
on the official Capcom Games website. At the time of @CapcomUSA's
tweet, the countdown began at 6 days and 24 hours
— concluding exactly 1 week from now. Curiously
(very curiously), the end date seems to coincide with this weekend's
Capcom Cup Capcom Pro Tour 2022 Season Finals online
event (as the live event was canceled
back in January)
— with the Day 3 Grand Finals taking place Sunday night. 
For this reason... and this reason alone... maybe fighting game
fans can cross their fingers for a big announcement courtesy of Capcom
this weekend at Capcom Cup '22. I'm not one to count my chickens, but... 6
days and 24 hours? Just pointing out that... 2 + 4
= 6. That's a second six. 
What's going on here?!
|
I don't want to
get anyone's hopes up too much with my insane math skills... I just
wanted to point out the subliminal repeating numbers and CPT '21 finals dates. 
Coincidence? Or does all of this align for a reason!? We'll find out this
weekend.
Capcom already confirmed Street Fighter 6 is in development
and that SFV
newcomer Luke
marks a new direction for the series. A SF6 reveal trailer at the CPT
finals (which was supposed to be a live
event) doesn't seem like too far a stretch!
[UPDATE]
According to Capcom's website, the reveal will happen at 1am ET / 6am GMT
on Monday, February 21st (or Sunday at 10pm PT). Numerous sources,
such as GamesBeat journalist Jeff Grubb, have claimed that
Capcom will indeed be announcing something regarding Street
Fighter 6. 
[UPDATE #2]
Capcom has officially announced
Street Fighter 6!
If not Street Fighter 6... you know the drill, Capcom fans. New
Marvel Vs. Capcom? Capcom Vs. SNK 3? Darkstalkers 4? Rival Schools 3? A
remake? Let's not have too much fun speculating beforehand. It's only a 1-week
wait. Just to clarify, there's no confirmation at this time that the countdown
is even fighting game-related. But the chances are looking more than decent!
The
Capcom Pro Tour 2021 Season Final runs February 17 – 20, 2022.
RobTV and Brian_Flead kick off the festivities with a special 5-vs-5 Street
Fighter V: Champion Edition exhibition team tournament featuring top
players from North America. You can find more information about the event
at the CPT official
site.
Be
sure to stay tuned in this weekend on Fighters Generation
for continued coverage of Capcom's February 2022 mystery countdown.
