The first Capcom Cup for Street Fighter 6 held an unbelievable prize: One Million Dollars to first place, higher than any fighting game tournament in history.

Everyone wanted it, and many seemed likely to take it all. But no one was paying attention to Uma.

Uma was an overlooked outsider who fought through one of the toughest regions in the world to make it to a million-dollar tournament with nothing but an inhuman will to be the best. With no money in his pocket, he woke up one day and decided to make Street Fighter his life.

Without a championship pedigree, a sponsor, or a cent to his name, Uma did what no one else could.

He dominated everyone - and he did it his way.
