Capcom recently revealed plans for an innovative new Street Fighter 6 tournament series titled "New Challengers" during a livestream event, where they shared details about upcoming events, including the Street Fighter League and updates on the Capcom Cup

This latest addition, however, stands out as a distinct event dedicated to Street Fighter 6. The newly conceived New Challengers series will adopt a team-based format that differs from traditional competitive fighting events and has seen viral success in regions like Japan, where tournaments have been more inclusive of online personalities and V-tubers.

This format involves streaming teams coached by professional Street Fighter 6 players battling it out in a more engaging and entertaining competition style—a strategy that has caught Capcom's attention. Each match will be worth 10 points, and the teams will battle for points throughout the competition.

The participating teams boast an array of notable competitors:

Team Resident Evil features Ll Joe, Katlink, Deere, and Burkeblack.

Team Monster Hunter includes Justin Wong, Bawkbasoup, SDShephard, and TheAsianAvenger.

Team V-Tuber will see KizzieKay, Kettletoro, Huntress, and Flashy vying for victory.

The New Challengers event will kick off in November with training led by the pro coaches. The main tournament will be live on November 18th, with $15,000 up for grabs. Fans can watch all the action on Capcom's Fighters channel as well as the individual streams of the competitors.

This creative new tournament format expands the competitive Street Fighter scene beyond just the top pros. It should provide entertaining competition between internet personalities coached by fighting game experts.
