【Wish Upon a Star! Tanabata Questions Corner]
As the event was held on Tanabata Day, participants were given strips of paper upon entering the venue to write questions for the players. The players randomly selected strips of paper from the bamboo grass and answered questions that they would not normally have the opportunity to answer, including game-related questions and questions that delved into their private lives.
Even though the team was recently formed, it became a corner where you can clearly see the closeness of all the players.

【honestly speaking! SFL Talk]
Questions were mainly asked about competitions and leagues, and the players answered by flipping.
Fans were also looking forward to the conversation as many players had yet to reveal information about this year’s league.
When asked about the characters they plan to use, the teams and players they are interested in, and their goals for this season, the players came up with a number of unexpected answers, and the fans also expressed joy and surprise.
Furthermore, questions were solicited from the participants on the spot, and some of them answered while enjoying the distance that can only be achieved offline.

At the end, there was time for the athletes and visitors to interact, and everyone enjoyed getting to know each other, getting autographs on the distributed goods and items they had brought, and offering their support to the athletes.
While the fans enjoyed the rare opportunity to interact one-on-one with the players, the players also gained strength from seeing the people cheering them on.

On the same day, players also participated in the Nagoya Street Fighter 6 competition “Shachiken” held at the same venue.
The players who participated in Shachiken enjoyed playing, although they were overwhelmed by the strength of the professionals.
