To celebrate the addition of Street Fighter 6 to the PlayVS roster and in the spirit of the fighting game genre, we’re kicking up the competition with a prize-enabled league. When Street Fighter 6 teams enroll this Fall, coaches will have the opportunity to enroll one of their Street Fighter 6 teams into the Fighter Select high school league.

The Fighter Select League will run alongside the PlayVS Scholastic schedule, and follow the same format as the Fall 2024 Street Fighter 6 regional leagues. Teams will enroll their strongest team to compete in weekly seasonal play culminating in a single-elimination playoff made up of the top teams. The championship matches will be broadcasted in a special Fighter Select event.

Participating Street Fighter 6 teams will have multiple opportunities throughout the season to win prizes and giveaways, with additional prizing awarded to league finalists at the end of the season. To be eligible for the raffle prizes, a team will need to participate in at least one (1) week of the preseason and at least five (5) weeks of the regular season.

In addition to the guides above, many professional Street Fighter 6 players provide tutorials and useful information on YouTube. This can range from extensive guides on specific characters to general beginner’s guides to the gameplay. Top players will also show their matches on YouTube and Twitch to explain their mindset and reasonings. With this in mind, record and review your team’s matches to help them study their own gameplay.
