Capcom has updated its fan content guidelines, designed to strike a balance between creativity and protection of its intellectual properties like Mega Man, Ryu, and Chun-Li. While encouraging derivative works such as illustrations, cosplay, and even small-scale sales, Capcom emphasizes crucial limitations.

Commercial use of IP for large-scale projects remains prohibited, although fan artists can sell small commissions within reasonable bounds. Statues and figures may only be sold at licensed events, particularly in Japan. Creators must ensure their work does not misrepresent itself as official Capcom content or contain any offensive material.

Interestingly, the guidelines surprisingly omit any mention of game mods, leaving this area ambiguous. This decision comes amidst scrutiny following past controversies, including restrictions on streaming Street Fighter League events. Despite these limitations, Capcom continues to invite creativity, providing a much-needed framework for passionate fans while retaining control over their beloved franchises.
