SF 6 at East Coast Throwdown was one of. Our most exciting events of the weekend. We saw big wins elsewhere in Smash at the Big House 11, plus exciting events like MK 1 here. However, Shine’s run through SF 6 is definitely worth highlighting in the weekend’s fighting game action. Up against some of the best active players in fighting game esports, the player has shown he can compete on the highest level grabbing his first SF 6 tournament win.

In the Finals bracket of SF 6 at East Coast Throwdown, we saw two of the top active players face each other in the very first round of the winners’ bracket. It was iDom up against Shine, two major players who are both watchable for the Capcom Cup this year. In our very first match, we saw the two clash and Shine just edged out ahead.
It wasn’t just iDom Shine had to get through to reach the Grand Final though. First, he was facing Naji where he again won 3-2. This put Shine through to the Grand Final, but who would he be up against? Naji kicked back down to the lower bracket to fight Burkish but easily won 3-0, with a rematch set up against Naji. Things didn’t really change in this second match-up though, where Shine again won to claim victory over the entire SF 6 at East Coast Throwdown tournament.
Street Fighter 6 is set to be one of the biggest tournaments at East Coast Throwdown 2023. While MK 1 at ECT is bringing in a brand-new circuit, SF 6 at East Coast Throwdown is still quite the draw. This is one of the best fighting games of 2023. It’s always fun to see new games in the tournaments, especially when draw such impressive players as this one.
This tournament might not be part of the Capcom Cup. However, we’re still getting some of the best talent showing up. This is what you can expect over the tournament in the next few days.
The Street Fighter 6 tournament at East Coast Throwdown is one of the biggest at the event. It’s taking place over the 3-day event until October 22nd. SF 6 at ECT is an offline tournament that’s kicking off with two rounds of pools. It’s then followed by a double elimination bracket where we’ll see the best SF 6 players compete. It’s one of the most attended events at East Coast Throwdown too, at just under 500 players taking part.

The tournament has a $4,930 prize pool, with just under $2.5K alone going to be the top player. Who are the contenders for this tournament though? We’ll run you through some of the top players to watch here.
One of the biggest names to keep an eye on at the tournament is iDom. He’s a former Capcom Cup winner who has also won the last East Coast Throwdown event. That was competing in Street Fighter V. However, he’s still in the top contenders in the newer SF 6 meta.
Another name you’ll often see thrown out for most of the major SF 6 tournaments is Shine. He’s had solid placements across tournaments in the newer SF release. While he hasn’t grabbed a win yet, he’s had plenty of 2nd place finishes and this could be his chance to take the top spot.
Coach Steve is a SF 6 player who has had good results across tons of the best fighting games. He’s achieved big things in FighterZ, Mortal Kombat, and a fair few good results in SF 6 too. He’s one of the best players to watch in a few different fighters at the event. That includes SF 6 at East Coach Throwdown 2023.
Those are some of the top players to watch. While this is just a standalone tournament, the heightened prize pool has brought in more players than most other events. You’ll have to watch the official stream to see who comes out ahead though.
