"Analyzing Kakeru's Critical Error in CPT Japan and Brian F's Take on the Ideal Outcome"

During the Capcom Pro Tour Japan qualifier for Street Fighter 6, player Ibushigin|Kakeru was eliminated after a critical mistake in his match against WIP|Jaccy. Kakeru's error came during the final round when he chose a chip damage strategy that failed due to a slight misstep in execution, allowing Jaccy to counter with a level 2 Super and win the set. Brian F analyzed the match, pointing out that Kakeru could have secured a KO with a different combo or by adjusting his chip damage setup. Kakeru's elimination adds him to the list of top Japanese players who must now rely on the last chance qualifier to reach the Capcom Cup.
