TNS 9 CEO Never Sleeps is a notable Street Fighter 6 event happening this weekend that has followed the conclusion of Capcom Cup X. Ed has recently been released as the new DLC fighter in Street Fighter 6 alongside some balance adjustments to shake up the meta a little bit as we wait for the major Season 2 update.
Competitors such as SR|NuckleDu, FLY|Punk, DualKevin, Moist|JAK, XSET|iDom, and more are among the 210 that are competing for first place. To see where the meta is shaping up, we decided to take a look at the top 32 performing combatants at the event.
Juri and Dee Jay ended up being the top picks this time around with four players each using them as their mains. Despite the batch of nerfs, JP also proved to be fairly popular as he had three players using him as a main and one more that had him ready as a secondary.
As of the time of writing this, FLY|Punk is currently sitting in the winners side of top 8 as the only Ed user in top 32. The other two DLC fighters in SF6, Rashid and A.K.I., also saw some representation in the top 32.
It seems that the buffs to Ryu and Jamie have been impactful as they’re both present in the bracket as well. However, it should be noted that Ryu is only being represented by SFLD|Paladin, who probably would’ve used Ryu at this event anyhow.
Finally, it’s worth noting that Ken, one of the characters that was technically nerfed, is completely absent from the top 32. Check it all out below:
