Sponsored.  Street Fighter 6 steps into the UniVersus spotlight on July 18 with two ready-to-play Challenger Series decks that bring the heat straight out of the box.  Whether you're looking to host learn-to-play events, attract fighting game fans, or offer an easy entry point for new players, this release is built for the frontlines of your store.

Product Overview

  • Two 60-card preconstructed decks:
    • Ryu & Luke – classic control meets modern aggression
    • Chun‑Li & Jamie – technical mastery meets wild momentum

  • Each box includes:
    • 1 paper playmat and 1 learn-to-play guide
    • 1 collector booster (6 randomized foil or alt-art cards)

These decks are perfect for in-store demos, casual play nights, and first-time players—while the collector booster adds value for collectors and returning UniVersus fans.  In addition to the Challenger Series decks, there will also be Street Fighter 6 playmats available.

Game Design Built for the Fight
According to lead designer Matt Smith, the Street Fighter 6 Challenger Series was built around three core pillars:

  1. Character pairings that combine legendary veterans with exciting newcomers to bridge generations of players.
  2. Momentum-as-Drive:  UniVersus's Momentum System has been reimagined to reflect Street Fighter 6's Drive Gauge—allowing players to manage tempo, perform cancels, and push the pace at critical moments.
  3. Authentic mechanics and flavor:  Signature moves like Ryu's Hashōgeki and Chun‑Li's Aerial Kikosho are faithfully translated into card effects, creating a gameplay experience that captures the feel of the video game.

This release offers something for everyone:

  • New players:  Accessible, fast-paced gameplay with built-in learning tools.
  • Collectors:  Exclusive foil and alt-art cards in every box.
  • Fighting game fans:  A true-to-source experience adapted for tabletop play.
  • Retailers:  Highly recognizable IP, and strong community engagement potential.
