Capcom has done the unthinkable and has made Capcom Cup XII for Street Fighter 6 a paywalled stream. Brian and iDom discuss the FGC's reactions to this announcement, possible reasonings for Capcom's decision such as focusing on their Japanese market where Street Fighter is much more successful due to the involvement of vtubers and organizations like Crazy Raccoon and GOOD8 Squad, as well as possible solutions to make CCXII available for more audiences such as adding more Chun-Li costumes to SF6 like they did in Street Fighter 5.

WARNING/DISCLAIMER: The following debate is FOR FUN, and we steel-man our positions for the sake of ENTERTAINMENT. For serious opinions, make it to the end of the episode. ​RobTV is back on Extra Trashy to defend his position that Street Fighter 6 is the most competitive Street Fighter due to its large playerbase, whilst iDOM defends Street Fighter 5 as the cleanest and most simplistic, making it the hardest due to the lack of gimmicks. However, Brian believes the introduction of input buffers and reducing the execution requirements to even do basic things makes Street Fighter 4 the most competitive.
