I started "Street Fighter 6" at Tokyo Auto Salon 2024, so it's been exactly one year.
I'm not good with Manon, but I hope I can show off some cool moves with Chun-Li!
(Translated from Japanese)
Atatachan (Ayane Nishii) and I are good friends; we even went to Las Vegas (EVO 2024) together last year. But I've been diligently practicing against Chun-Li for today, so I'll do my best to win!
I'll take off my sunglasses, of course (laughs).
(Translated from Japanese)
It feels like my team will punish me if I don't beat Zangief, so I'll do my best to win against Shinji!
I think Dhalsim has the advantage, so I can win!
(Translated from Japanese)
I've participated in various Street Fighter events since last year, but I've always avoided this matchup (against Ariken's Dhalsim).
I'm a little nervous that it's finally happening today.
(Translated from Japanese)
I saw Kawano again today for the first time in a while, and when I invited him to dinner after this, he said he "didn't want to go," which annoyed me a bit, so I'm going to take him down.
(Translated from Japanese)
Tachikawa was acting all smug during his entrance earlier, and that annoyed me, so I'm going to beat him.
(Translated from Japanese)
Fuudo has been practicing rush overheads a lot lately, so I plan to hit him with a rush overhead today and win.
(Translated from Japanese)
Since rush overheads can't be guarded, I'll probably throw a lot of invincible moves.
You have to react to the guard, but I want to win in the mind games.
(Translated from Japanese)
I hate Zangief.
Itabashi Zangief used to cosplay as Terry, but isn't there an option to use Terry?
Today, I want to defeat Zangief and make him use Terry.
(Translated from Japanese)
Why do I have to fight Nemo at Tokyo Auto Salon...?
I don't want to be involved with this guy!
I'll finish this quickly!
(Translated from Japanese)
Ayane Nishii vs. Saki Amaha
Amaha Manon and Nishii Chun-Li faced off, cosplaying as their main characters.
Nishii Chun-Li kept Manon at bay with a projectile-focused playstyle, preventing her from closing the distance and securing the first win!
Ariken vs. Shinji
In this streamer showdown, Ariken's Dhalsim showed skillful movement, maintaining distance and avoiding the corner, but Shinji Zangief, with his explosive power, staged a comeback victory!
Tachikawa vs. Kawano
Against Kawano's low-health Akuma, Tachikawa quickly gained medals from the start.
However, Kawano's Akuma displayed superior offense and took the win.
Hikaru vs. Fuudo
This was a master-disciple battle between Hikaru A.K.I. and Fuudo Ed.
It was a top-tier battle between two active world-class players, but Hikaru's offense barely edged out for the win.
Fuudo commented, "I felt like he's grown."
Nemo vs. Itabashi Zangief
Nemo vs. Itabashi Zangief: a friendly... no, a fated showdown!
Nemo's Vega relentlessly landed aggressive attacks, securing a convincing victory.

Team Nemo Wins!
Winner Nemo's Comment
I was thinking about how to counter Zangief, but then I set that aside and thought about what kind of player Itabashi Zangief is.
Impacts land, overheads land. Everything lands. It would be helpful if everyone remembered that!
