Group stage results: Capcom Cup 11

The eight groups and the match / games scores are shown here. The format of this Capcom Cup 11 stage is single round robin, so each player faces every other competitor from the same group.

Groups A and B

Punk is the favorite of Group A. The guy won SF6 Evo 2024, and he is one of the strongest Street Fighter 6 competitors in the world. The other players have rather equal chances to get place 2. Street Fighter esports is unpredictable, though.

NoahTheProdigy won Frosty Faustings XVII and Blink Respawn 2024, so he should perform well in Group B.

The European gang in Group A clearly demonstrated their power at this stage of Capcom Cup 11. Takamura from Belgium lost only one match, to Punk, and he advances to the winners side of Playoffs. Phenom from Norway is on the second place: he lost to Takamura and Itabashi Zangief. Punk is out of the tournament after three losses on Days 2 and 3.

In Group B, NoahTheProdigy proved his young power on Luke. The American player won almost all his matches and lost only to GranTODAKAI on Day 2. The second place here goes to NL from South Korea. With three victories, this player brings the demon might of Akuma to the Capcom Cup 11 Playoffs, losers side.

Groups C and D

Tokido was seeded into Group C, and this legend is always a threat to his opponents. This competitive season, Tokido won CPT 2024: Japan Super Premier and Battle Arena Melbourne 14.

Meanwhile, iDom is in Group D. The Capcom Cup 2019 winner has somewhat hard times within Street Fighter 6 — the highest tier-1 placement for iDom was 4th at CEO 2024. Armperor who won the Kings of the World event, and other players in this group should give a good fight.

Kakeru finished the Group stage on the first place: with four victories. Tokido was on the verge of elimination, but the guy performed a try Street Fighter miracle on Day 3: with won matches and a positive game difference.

Blaz played the two most classic Street Fighter character to reach the Capcom Cup 11 Playoffs. The player won all five matches, which is super impressive considering the level of opponents here. broski with A.K.I. reached the second place in Group D. He has the same matches score and the games difference as Vxbao, but broski won a direct match on Day 1.

Groups E and F

MenaRD is the favorite in every tournament he participates in, even if things don’t always go his way. MenaRD won Evo Japan 2024 and the offline Premiere tournament Cream City Convergence 2024. Mister Crimson, Fuudo, and ChrisCCH are other players to watch out for in Capcom Cup 11 Group E.

Big Bird is mighty with his Rashid, and he won DreamHack Summer 2024 this season. However, the guy faces Oil King, Xian, and Leshar in Group F, so the fights are going to be intense.

The Japanese Street Fighter 6 scene is filled with Ed, and the Capcom Cup 11 proved that. Fuudo reach the top 1 in Group E on this character with five wins. The Group stage wasn't too easy for MenaRD, but the player still qualified for the Playoffs from the 2nd place.

Leshar and Xian have identical matches score, but Leshar is ahead with the games difference. That's why he advances to the Capcom Cup 11 top 16 winners side. Big Bird and Oil King are out of the tournament.

Groups G and H

Xiao Hai transitioned to SF6 from his main series, The King of Fighter XV, quite successfully. Winning the Street Fighter 6 Esports World Cup 2024 is not a joke! Nephew from the U.S. has good chances in Capcom Cup 11 Group G, but NuckleDu who won CEOtaku 2024 also can shine brightly.

AngryBird is the favorite in Group H. He won The MIXUP 2024 this season. Shuto is the winner of CPT 2024: Singapore Super Premier. Kusanagi won Ultimate Fighting Arena 2024.

As it was expected from a KOF player, Xiao Hai demonstrated a great mastery with a few characters. He switched between them more than anyone else in the Group stage of Capcom Cup 11. Juicyjoe is #1, and he advances to the top 16 winners side.

In Group H, AngryBird finished first, with only one loss: to Shuto on Day 1. The Japanese player Shuto has the same matches score as AngryBird, but he is behind with the games difference. JUNINHO-RAS was the game leader during the first two days of the SF6 Capcom Cup 11, but he lost two final matches of the Group stage.

The top 16 brackets recap: Capcom Cup 11

NoahTheProdigy won the very first match of the Capcom Cup 11 top 16 Playoffs. The opponent, Takamura, started somewhat better, but after some adaptation, Luke of NoahTheProdigy destroyed Ken of Takamura.

Kakeru demonstrated just amazing spacing skills on JP. He kept Ken of Blaz at a proper distance to shoot dark energy at him. Blaz tried to fight with Akuma in the last game, and it still did not work: due to a great reaction and matchup awareness by Kakeru.

A mirror Ed match between Fuudo and Leshar was so back-and-forth! Both players used the long normals of the character to create openings, and the fight was rather cautious from them. The match reached the final game, and then Leshar did not leave any chance for his opponent.

Juicyjoe vs AngryBird was another JP vs Ken match. However AngryBird tried to resist that dark energy, Juicyjoe defeated his mighty opponent and advanced to the Capcom Cup 11 top 8 via the winners side.

On the losers side Round 1, NL, Tokido, Xian, and Shuto eliminated their opponents from the Capcom Cup 11: Phenom, broski, MenaRD, and Xiao Hai.

Round 2 treated Street Fighter fans to some super close matches. AngryBird took Akuma instead of Ken for his match vs NL — he preferred a mirror fight instead of an unfavorable matchup. That worked! Tokido won an intense battle against his fellow Japanese player, Fuudo. Takamura was on the set point twice, but Shuto still won this match to continue fighting at Capcom Cup 11.

There still was a clear win in this round: Blaz confidently destroyed Xian.

Leshar destroyed Juicyjoe despite being strongly behind in a few rounds. He managed to find crucial openings and land deadly damage.

The SF6 esports Capcom Cup 11 top 8 recap

After losing two games against Kakeru in the winners final, NoahTheProdigy switched from Luke to Cammy. That helped for one round only, and Kakeru with his JP advanced to the Capcom Cup 11 winners final.

The first match in the losers top 8 was a mirror match between AngryBird vs Tokido. In this spectacular battle, AngryBird was better at punishing and finding openings. While playing a Japanese character, Ryu, Blaz from Chile defeated the Japanese player Shuto. He did it only in the final game, final round.

At some point, it looked like Juicyjoe was super close to a reverse sweep. It did not happen, as AngryBird had his plans to proceed further through the Capcom Cup 11 brackets. With a clean 3:0, Blaz eliminated NoahTheProdigy from this Street Fighter 6 esports tournament.

Kakeru was an absolutely unstoppable projectile beast in the Capcom Cup 11 winners final. With a 3:0, he sent Leshar to the losers.

Blaz is certainly a fresh sensation at Capcom Cup 11. The guy is 15 years old, and he destroyed AngryBird on his way to the losers final. And then, Blaz did the same to Leshar — to face Kakeru in the grand final.

In the grand final, Blaz still was amazing, but Kakeru sent the guy to the losers brackets previously, and he did not let Blaz reset the brackets.

Kakeru with his amazing projectile magic is the Capcom Cup 11 champion! He automatically qualifies for the Street Fighter 6 Capcom Cup 12.
