Topanga Concept Match: Asia Special - Full Details
The prestigious Topanga Concept Match returned this winter with a special international twist. Dubbed the "Asia Special," the event pitted five of Japan's most storied Street Fighter 6 competitors against an "Asia All-Stars" squad featuring top talent from South Korea, China, and Taiwan.
Taking place at the RED° TOKYO TOWER, the event continued Topanga's tradition of long-set formats. Each matchup was a First-to-7 (FT7) series. This format served as a grueling test of adaptation and mental fortitude compared to the standard First-to-2 tournament format.
The ruleset explicitly forbade a "Deuce" scenario. Unlike formats where a player must win by a margin of two games to close out a set, this event was a strict race to the finish line.
Additional rules included:
- Win Condition: First player to reach 7 wins.
- Character Lock: The loser of a game could switch characters. The winner had to keep their character.
