SF6 × IBSG Johnny «Marisa» vs G8S Sahara «Ed» | High Level Street Fighter 6

Another drop of High Level Street Fighter 6 replays! Some very dope and hype Rounds of SF6, between some of Japan's killer competitors, including a Capcom Cup 12 qualifier, who's story might be the most under-reported this Season, with them also against all odds still busting ass in the CPT 2025 Japan World Warrior for the experience and Fight Money!

«Why IMO these are players worth checking out their play»
A competitor since SF5 with a stint on team SNB before they formed into ZETA and now on Team IBUSHIGIN, IBSG|Johnny has been holding down all 3 Street Fighter 6 season with at least their Marisa in their back pocket! Achieving a Top 32 finish at EVO Japan 2025 and its 7K+ player bracket, and Top 48 at EVO 2024, and having a 5th/6th result at Beast Cup Tokyo! As a part of Team IBUSHIGIN in Street Fighter League Japan 2025, they didn't fair very well, but it was a new look IBUSHIGIN team with Johnny and Torimeshi joining this year, so understandable it might take time for the teammates to get to know their strengths and weaknesses, coming up with a good meta strategy! Even with the glow up buffs Marisa got early last year, she's still a character rarely scene in top level play outside of a handful of players, and no doubt IBSG|Johnny will continue to hold her down, in the least as a pocket character!

They stepped into the arena with what I think might be the most low key and under reported narrative this season, surrounding the young G8S|Sahara, who certainly has had a break out year, and I think their story got lost amongst the other even younger players having break out years like 2G|Blaz! Maybe it's due to them not participating in SFL, despite being sponsored by the 2024 SFL World Champs Good 8 Squad, but I don't think they've been talked about enough. From the story I've heard they were a pro player in I think Valorant, but had played fighting games on the side, and really got into Street Fighter 6 through participating in one of the early VTuber competitions that really blew up. 1-2 years later and G8S|Sahara showing their cold as ice, playing Ed, one of if not the highest execution character, winning their Capcom Cup 12 qualifier spot by winning Ultimate Fighting Arena 2025, Top 24 at EVO 2025, Top 48 at EVO Japan 2024, 2nd at Battle Arena Melbourne 15, 4th at Brussels Challenge Major Edition 2025, and Top 12 at Blink Respawn 2025! Maybe the most impressive, is they've continued to enter the CPT 2025 Japan World Warrior, likely for the experience and Bison Bucks, but they have won, back to back the 3rd and 4th event, in a region where legends of the FGC struggle, understandably, to consistently place in Top 8 or even 16! Even though they're not in play for the 2 Capcom Cup berths at stake, they have 120 points on the board, nearly doubling the player with the second most points! It's going to be exciting to see how G8S|Sahara does at Capcom Cup 12!
