Capcom has rolled back its controversial decision to charge $40 to watch the Street Fighter 6 Capcom Cup finals, but the tournament is still not totally free, either.
Back at Tokyo Game Show 2025, Capcom announced this year's Capcom Cup finals and Street Fighter League World Championship would be aired via pay-per-view, with the previously-free Capcom Cup final costing around $26 on its own, or $40 to watch both it and the Street Fighter League. Naturally, fans were not happy at all, and MenaRD – the only two time Capcom Cup champion – expressed his distaste Capcom's decision, saying he probably wouldn't have pursued the game as his career if the whole world always had to engage in pay-per-view.
