Gachikun has now booked his place at Capcom Cup and will ensure that the tournament has at least three Japanese players in it. In a video in which he released on his YouTube channel, he thanked fans for their support, but also intimated that the hotel he stayed at for this tournament was the same that he stayed in 2018 when he won the CPT Asia Regional Finals at SEA Major Singapore.
In that tournament, he defeated Tokido 3-0 to make it into Capcom Cup which he also went on to win against Itabashi Zangief.
In the video, he also claimed that he was interested in the $1,000,000 prize but that what was most important to him was a new costume for Rashid. His Rashid from Street Fighter V was famed for the baseball kit outfit that was peculiar to him (no one else seemed to use it).
