#326: Street Fighter 6 Tournaments, Tech, Tiers, and CEO Preview

Street Fighter 6 tournaments are underway, we discuss modern controls, tiers lists from top players, and a CEO preview.

We kick off the show by discussing the exciting Chipotle Challenger Series. This 2v2 tournament in Street Fighter 6 has narrowed down to 8 teams, who will battle it out at a later date. Join us as we share our expectations for the winners of each region in the upcoming top 8 showdown in July.



Daigo, the legendary player, sparks a thought-provoking discussion on modern controls. With his question, "is this the way?" we delve into the topic of control schemes and whether it's simply a matter of preference. Static and Mezza weigh in on the debate, sharing their insights and personal experiences with Modern Controls.



Tier lists play a crucial role in the fighting game community, and we examine two recent ones from FChamp and Red. By comparing the changes and shifts in rankings, we analyze who we believe to be the top-tier fighters. Prepare for an in-depth discussion on the evolving metagame.



In a recent video, Daigo unveils a unique strategy to counter JP's moves, and Mezza provides a detailed breakdown of this discovery. We also explore the creative side of the community as a talented modder on Twitter, @tail__lover, transforms JP into Mewtwo with a spoon instead of a cane.



JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R receives a significant patch, introducing major changes, particularly to the Guard Break mechanic. Mezza shares the details of these updates and their impact on the gameplay. King of Fighters XV gears up for the release of Goenitz, and we watch the character breakdown to speculate on how he will shake up the game. Join us as we analyze his moveset and potential impact on the competitive scene.



Mezza shares his firsthand experience participating in a DNF Duel draft team tournament, providing insights into the event and his gameplay journey. Videographer Phil Nolan captures the electrifying crowd reactions to DNF Duel at Combo Breaker, leading us to brainstorm content ideas within FGC events.



As CEO approaches this weekend, we examine the number of attendees for each game with over 100 players. Static reveals his plans to attend the tournament alongside Crashtag, and we anticipate the thrilling matches and unforgettable moments that lie ahead.
