To this end, there will be a  team battle featuring Japanese streamers facing each other in Tekken 8 at the end of February. 

The streamers including Shaka, one of the legends of the FPS scene in Japan who has been delving into fighting games  a lot recently. Also, pro player Doogura will be participating and some Smash players too. 

A lot of Street Fighter 6's popularity in Japan has come via events such as these as streamers with large communities indulged in the game sharing it with their fans and leading to some significant streaming numbers for Street Fighter 6.
