Twitch streamer gets 2-day ban after showing pay-per-view Capcom Cup in glasses reflection

by

Twitch streamer sonic_sol was suspended from the platform for two days after trying to show a pay-per-view broadcast of Capcom Cup’s Top 16 by reflecting it on his glasses during a stream.

So, Capcom just announced that next year’s big fighting game event, the 12th one, is going to be a pay-per-view thing. Most of the tournament is still free to watch, which is awesome, but if you want to see the Top 16 players battle it out, you’ll need to buy a virtual ticket. They’re gonna cost somewhere between $27 and $40, depending on what you get.

Streamer confirms short Twitch suspension

Sonic_sol was suspended after broadcasting the Capcom Cup Top 16 stream by reflecting the screen onto a pair of glasses during a live stream.

I was watching Sonic’s stream, and right after it ended, I saw on StreamerBans that his Twitch channel had been temporarily suspended! He didn’t seem too worried though – he just tweeted that it was a ‘2-day vacation’ and he’d be okay.

2 day vacation, I’ll be alright 👍

Capcom asks that viewers do not share videos of the CC12 and SFLWC2025 Finals on platforms like social media or streaming services without their permission, to ensure a good experience for paying subscribers.

Twitch hasn’t officially said why the ban happened. Although it occurred right after the stream where a reflection in glasses was visible, it’s not confirmed that this was the reason.
