A Street Fighter 6 tournament was recently interrupted due to the host forgetting to turn off their nude Chun-Li mod.
During the tournament, a second-round matchup between Kimberly and Chun-Li saw the Chun-Li model appear equipped with a mod that removed her clothes.
The NSFW clip was shared on Twitter by Nicholas De Orio. In the clip, the commentators are unable to hide their laughter as the match begins, before the video feed cuts away from the gameplay footage.

At the time of writing, footage of the incident remains on Twitch and has been mirrored across social media. It is likely that once the incident is circulated further, Twitch will remove it from the platform, due to its rules around nudity.

“Over the past few years, multiple titles in theResident Evilseries have sold 10 million copies, and the Monster Hunter series now has titles that are aiming for 20 million copies,” Tsujimoto explained at the time.
“Street Fighter Vhas already sold over 7 million copies, so if we can make use of our digital sales experience, we should be able to aim for 10 million copies with the next game.
VGC’s 5-star Street Fighter 6 reviewcalled the game “an incredible fighter dripping with confidence”, adding: “With the three titans of the fighting game space all releasing mainline entries this year, competition is going to be stiff, but Capcom is putting its best foot forward.”
