Our first tournament is Cannes Winter Clash, the first Capcom Pro Tour ranking event (You know, this one thing that was created Capcom used to justify rushing Street Fighter V out the door).

The games list is
Super Smash Bros. Melee (Singles & Teams)
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (Singles & Teams)

Guilty Gear Xrd (Singles)
Ultra Street Fighter 4 (Singles)

Last year Cannes Winter Clash featured Dieminion, Poongko, Sako, and Infiltration. While there aren't that calibir of heavy hitters already announced this year, there are still a stable of notable Street Fighter players.
Here are some of the players expected to attend this year.
