"Japanese VTuber tournament boosts Street Fighter 6 to top Twitch viewership spot"

A Street Fighter 6 tournament featuring popular VTubers and professional players from other games, coached by pro fighting game players, has made the Capcom fighter the most-watched game on Twitch, with viewership that eclipsed what you'd expect to see out of Evo. The CR Cup managed to reach around 313,000 total viewers on Twitch, and that's not counting the tens of thousands more that were also present on YouTube. This event shows a potential level of general reach that the genre hasn't seen since probably Street Fighter 2.
