Onigaya Ten Drills SCARZ CUP Matchups With Viewers in Street Fighter 6 Custom Rooms

NEO-PORTE — Onigaya Ten of Neo-Porte’s sixth generation spent more than two hours on Tuesday night running a Street Fighter 6 custom room for viewers, practicing matchups ahead of the SCARZ CUP. A pinned comment asked for Classic-control Elena and DeeJay players and Modern-control Vega players (M. Bison in the English version), all with a peak MR of 1,600 or higher.

The session opened with Elena, the matchup the participants said they most wanted to beat, with Ten playing Manon. A coach, Akutagawa, guided the matches and returned again and again to patience: do not force the offense, put recovering the Drive Gauge first, and throw a button out only when the opponent walks forward. Chat joked that Ten was on the road to becoming a more mature Manon player.

About half an hour in, the room moved to DeeJay, whose feints and long-reaching moves gave Ten trouble. The advice was to look for counter-hit pokes and punishes at the distances where DeeJay is likely to attack. Later the assessment was that the Elena matchup was improving faster than the DeeJay one, and that more rounds against DeeJay’s feints would help.

The coaching also covered frame data, with Ten taking notes as the coach quizzed them on how many frames of advantage certain moves gave, and a tip on landing command grabs: watch whether the opponent is blocking standing or crouching, and adjust. The last match of the night was against the coach’s own Elena, with a joking prize of 500 million points on the line.

Signing off, Ten called it a session with a lot to learn from and asked viewers to bring Vega players along, Classic or Modern, though Modern would be better. Ten said they had been working since the morning, planned an early night, and had a morning stream at 6 a.m. the next day.
