* Greetings from Masashi Saruwatari: *
It’s been about 33 years since I directed the “Street Fighter II” national tournament in 1991. It has been supporting the fighting game boom for a long time. “Street Fighter 6” is supported by a wider range of age groups than ever before, and I’m happy to see that the influx of game players from various genres is creating competition. In order to support this momentum, we have decided to produce this tournament. We hope that more people will participate, including those who have been playing for many years, those who are making their fighting game debut with this work, and the younger generation who have never experienced an offline tournament in the first place. let’s have fun!

This is Kagecchi.

Currently, “Street Fighter 6” is based on the experience gained from “Street Fighter III,” “Street Fighter IV,” and “Street Fighter V.”
Official competitions and tournaments called “Crossover” are held at approximately 30 locations across Japan. Thank you everyone as always.
