Overview

  • Capcom has officially disqualified one of the 26 winning submissions after finding violations of its no-AI rule.
  • The removed artwork, depicting Akuma, was flagged for AI signs like warped anatomy and inconsistent lighting by community analysts.
  • In its July 25 statement, Capcom cited Section 5 of its contest rules and confirmed the violation without explicitly mentioning AI.
  • The disqualified entry will remain visible in the Battle Hub until the current voting period ends and will be replaced later.
  • Fans and artists see this move as a push for stricter generative AI content vetting in future fan-art events.
