15th TOPANGA Charity Cup: 1,231 Teams Unite for SF6 Global Event
The 15th TOPANGA Charity Cup has reached a historic milestone with 1,231 teams and 6,157 players registered to compete in the massive 5v5 Street Fighter 6 tournament.
Key Takeaways:
- Massive Scale: The field has shattered previous records, featuring over 1,200 teams in a single-elimination "Kachinuki" (winner-stays-on) bracket.
- Charity Partnership: 100% of proceeds and donations will be sent to the Japanese Red Cross Society, specifically aiding ongoing recovery efforts for the Noto Peninsula earthquake victims.
- Pro Participation: The event features legendary figures including Daigo Umehara and major pro squads from Reject, Varrel, and Crazy Raccoon.
The FGC Unites for Noto Peninsula Recovery
The 15th TOPANGA Charity Cup is scheduled to begin its broadcast on December 20 at 11:00 AM JST. As one of the most significant dates in the FGC calendar, this online event serves as a platform for the community to provide aid through their passion for fighting games. This year, the focus remains on the Japanese Red Cross Society and the long-term reconstruction efforts following the Noto Peninsula earthquake.
The tournament utilizes the "Kachinuki" format, a staple of Japanese team competition. In this style, the winner of a match stays on to face the next member of the opposing team. This often results in high-drama "anchoring" performances where one player must defeat multiple opponents to secure a team victory.
How to Watch
Due to the unprecedented number of entrants, the tournament will be broadcast across multiple official channels to capture as much of the bracket action as possible.
