Capcom Confirms AI Entry In Latest Art Contest

Capcom have confirmed that one of the entries in their latest art contest for Street Fighter 6 has been disqualified for breaching their rules. 

The art contest is a community-focused event that enables fans to get their illustrations into the game and this would be the second edition. The event usually calls for submissions which can then be voted on with the winners having their art added to the game, usually as a challenger screen for ranked matches. 

Unfortunately, one of the submissions was accused of using generative AI art and was exposed by X user, @hoodratt20xx. 

In their statement, Capcom said:

We want to extend a big thanks to everyone who participated in the latest Street Fighter Art Contest New Challenger Edition. 

Unfortunately, we have determined that one of the winning entries violated contest rules, specifically Section 5 pertaining to: Entry Submission and Design Requirements.

After careful review and discussion, we have decided to disqualify the entry in question.

Please note that the entry in question will remain available for voting in the Battle Hub until the end of the voting period. We want to thank those who participated in voting for the entry in question. While the entry in question has been disqualified, we will provide a replacement illustration for the featured character at a later date.

The submission was a drawing of Kimberly, and it was one of the winning artworks, but will now not be used in the game even if it will remain in the voting options till the end of the event.
