Starting Season 1 a Marisa player, they were one of the players who were immediately full sending it on the Akuma, once that DLC character dropped, and hasn't looked back! And sticking with shotos, it looks like they've been crafting a pocket Ryu, which makes a lot of sense how strong the character had been in Season 3 competitively! They started Season 4 with a bang, finishing 5th/6th at the largest video game tournament bracket ever, EVO Japan 2026! The other offlines this season they've gone deep, but out of the CPT points, but there are more tournaments stillt o come! This was an improvement on their big finishes at the two EVOs last year, Top 24 at EVO 2025, matching what they placed at the first SF6 EVO in 2023, and a Top 32 at the 7K+ EVO Japan 2025 player bracket! We'll be seeing much more of CR/PWS|Shuto this Season, at the CPT events and a return to Team Crazy Racoon at SFL JP 2026! They stepped into the arena with a player who has been in the competitive mix since SF5, VARREL|Kosaku has continued to build on that and made some deeper runs in Street Fighter 6 tournaments! Finishing Top 48 at EVO Japan 2024's 5K+ player bracket, Top 12 finish at Beast Cup Tokyo, and Top 32 finishes at CPT 2024 Japan Super Premier, CPT 2024 Singapore Super Premier and CPT 2023 Singapore Offline! From their Twitter bio it looks like they're on the VARREL staff, and are also listed as a content creator/streamer for the team. And in the recent, record breaking for player count in an online tournament, CPT 2025 Japan World Warrior event 1, they ended up in the Top 24, making at least 2 Elenas going that deep with CR|Dogura finishing second with mainly playing Elena! Elena definitely seems to be a character they enjoy playing, and they have been sticking with her, with the likely Elena buffs and unlikely nerfs, VARREL|Kosaku will have some favorable conditions for continuing to level up and grow as a competitor! «Songs Featured» (in order of appearance) » Street Fighter: Alpha 3 – Balrog’s Theme Untamable Fists » Street Fighter: Alpha 3 – Heavy Swell Zangief’s Theme » SF6 – Sagat’s Theme The Silent Ascetic » SF6 – Ryu’s Theme Viator » SF6 – Rashid’s Theme The Turbulent Wind » Street Fighter: Alpha 2 – Birdie’s Stage *All songs used can be obtained in game, whether being a part of the default music to Drive Ticket shop purchases of the older Street Fighter bangers!
