History was made, records were set, hearts were broken, and dreams came true.

We were fortunate enough to be invited to EVO and experience the Grand Finals as close as possible. We tried to capture the feel of the arena as best we could. We hope you enjoy the footage. Congratulations to all those that made it to Top 6, and to the winners, of course!

Special thank you to Mr. Mark Julio, b/k/a MarkMan, for inviting us. Special thank you to the entire EVO staff for putting on and running this incredible event. Special thank you to the FGC for making this happen, and making history – together.

We’ve gotten teases in the past that Street Fighter 6 would feature alternate costumes out of the box for the roster, but now we know exactly what they are. The “Outfit 2 Trailer” shows off each character’s alternate costume, which draws from a classic look for the returning cast or a casual getup for the newcomers.

That means Ryu and Ken in their classic uniforms, Cammy and Juri back in the bodysuits, and so on. Manon gets an outfit much more befitting of her supermodel background, while Marisa gets a new suit to reflect the sides of their backgrounds that aren’t strictly martial arts. Will more costumes make it to the game over time? I guess we’ll have to wait and find out. Check out the trailer for the whole cast:

Red Bull Kumite is an invitational event hosted in various venues around the world since 2015. The series started with Street Fighter 4 and now it’s coming for Street Fighter 6 in July at an all-new location.

The Street Fighter 6 demo is out in the wild now and being entirely free it’s easy to just pick it up and try it on your own console (or PC) and see how it performs relative to your expectations. But what is the best version? What does “input delay reduction” actually do? How do you fix the World Tour fights running at 30 FPS?

Digital Foundry’s Tom Morgan covers the resolution & performance measurements of every version of the Street Fighter 6 demo in a new video released today. It’s by far the most comprehensive look we’ll get on YouTube, so don’t miss it:

Capcom has announced a developer Q&A stream with Game Directory Takayuki Nakayama and Producer Shuhei Matsumoto. In case you somehow missed it the Street Fighter 6 showcase went over a meaty 30 minutes of deep-dive into the game’s systems and features, but there’s still so much we don’t know yet!

You can submit your questions by replying to this thread on r/StreetFighter. The stream will go live on May 12 at 2 PM Pacific (5PM Eastern) on the CapcomFighters channel.

What is Luke’s background in private military contracting? Seems that Capcom wants to tell you all about it in the lead up to Street Fighter 6 with a new series of prequel comics in collaboration with UDON Entertainment and Capcom’s very own Bengus.

Issue #1 is available to read completely free on the official SF6 website, and is quite meaty with 49 pages and the promise of more issues by the labeling. Check it out!

We’re releasing four comics, written and illustrated by artists from Capcom and UDON Comics – all leading up to the story of #StreetFighter6!

Capcom is making it clear: the Street Fighter 6 Closed Beta Test “crack” can land you in trouble. It’s no secret that modders have bypassed Capcom’s measures to enforce a time limit on the PC Closed Beta Test of Street Fighter 6 from last year, and it’s lead to many people questioning if players covertly training using a modified copy of the game should be allowed to compete.

Today the Capcom Fighters Twitter account has put out a statement: “from this point forward, any player who is shown with clear evidence to be accessing the CBT [Closed Beta Test] in an unauthorized way may be deemed ineligible for the upcoming Capcom Pro Tour and Street Fighter League seasons.” Check out the tweet below.

The Playstation 4 will be receiving the only last-generation version of Street Fighter 6, so how does it stack up on the most popular tournament console in the FGC? Check out this recording of gameplay from the Street Fighter 6 Demo showing the game’s performance on PS4 Pro.

Input Delay Reduction was left OFF for this recording. Enabling this feature disables the game’s VSync and allows it to show “torn” frames in service of showing you the next frame sooner. In our testing we found it is constantly tearing and is not a very playable experience.

Unfortunately, the World Tour mode does not provide the same level of consistency as the core versus mode. I’m working on a more comprehensive breakdown. Check out a snippet of the gameplay in this tweet:

It’s going to be a big day for Street Fighter fans. At 3 PM PT/7 PM ET/10PM GMT the Street Fighter 6 Showcase presented by none other than Lil Wayne will go into detail on each of SF6’s three slices: The World Tour single-player content, the Battle Hub online service, and Fighting Ground core game modes.

Expected to run over 30 minutes, Capcom is hinting at “some big news at the end of the show.” A notable leak from a Japanese partnered content creator has suggested that you should get ready to hit the streets after the show. Pre-show begins 30 minutes before the showcase!
