WHY ARE THE SF6 CPUS SO DIFFICULT!?

Justin Wong tests the CPU difficulty scaling in Street Fighter 6 after extensive hands-on time with the game at EVO 2022. Rather than focusing on a single matchup, the video explores what happens when he pushes the AI opponents to their highest difficulty settings across the available character roster. The CPUs prove unexpectedly ruthless—reading inputs, punishing mistakes instantly, and forcing Wong to adapt his approach on the fly. Comments from viewers highlight the AI's seemingly supernatural prediction abilities, with reactions oscillating between frustration and respect for how aggressively Capcom tuned the challenge levels. This early look at SF6's single-player difficulty serves as both a gameplay discovery session and an implicit benchmark for how the game tests players outside of competitive multiplayer scenarios. Wong's frame of reference—comparing SF6's CPU behavior to older fighting game standards—gives context to why the artificial intelligence feels notably improved. The video captures genuine reactions to unexpected AI behavior rather than polished exhibition play, making it valuable for anyone curious about the game's solo content depth before release.
