<p>In the October 31 issue of Friday, Mr. Mob. Suzuki shows off his &#8220;Street Fighter&#8221; cosplay, as if he had never seen it before. He says that he was originally not good at video games, but as he got hooked on the characters and continued to play, he began to seek &#8220;strength&#8221; in the game.</p>
<p>This is the second installment of a special conversation between Street Fighter 6 director Takayuki Nakayama and Mob. Suzuki Mob., who is aiming for the world championship, asks the developer a forbidden question.</p>

<h3>The prize is 1 million dollars!</h3>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Mob</span>.: Since we are here, I would like to ask you how we can become stronger!</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Nakayama</span>: What is effective is to watch people who are good at playing. If possible, I want you to use a key display that shows what buttons you pressed, and watch the timing of the button presses and the timing of the character&#8217;s movement.</p>
<p>Often, if you&#8217;re hitting a series of buttons at the same time you get up, you&#8217;ll get an attack and get countered. Reading the timing of the attack and defense is actually the key. sometimes I watch Mob. play, and he moves to apply a strong attack on the golfer.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Mob</span>.: Gradually I began to understand what Mr. Nakayama was saying, and yesterday (the day of the interview) I went from Bronze to Silver!　At first I couldn&#8217;t even run. I was terrible at it and had no sense.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Nakayama</span>: The development staff never see such cases, so on the contrary, I learned a lot. Of course, we repeated tests, but when you make something, you get used to it, so you don&#8217;t know how beginners think.</p>

<p><span class="strongInContent"> -There are also large-scale tournaments in Street Fighter 6, aren&#8217;t there?</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Nakayama</span>: The &#8220;Super Premier Japan&#8221; will be held on November 2 and 3, and the first and second place winners will go to the world tournament.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Mob.</span>: I want to go around the world too!　I want to be like Mob. when it comes to Modern Gouki.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Nakayama</span>: In terms of game competitions, Saudi Arabia in particular is putting a lot of effort into this. At the eSports World Cup, YOSHIKI of &#8220;X JAPAN&#8221; was a guest.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Mob.</span>: The prize money for the world tournament is like a hundred million dollars. I want to win the tournament and make the live performance at Nippon Budokan on March 31 next year extravagant. I want to make them blow fire, fly in the air, and so on. &#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Nakayama：The</span> e-sports is being done by a different unit from the game production team, but I was surprised when I was told that the prize money would be 1 million dollars. The customers who play with us can become stars. In fact, there was a success story of a young Dominican player who won the prize money, became a hero overnight, and returned to his country to meet with the president. It was amazing to have such drama created by a game we were making.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Mob.</span>: I would also like to use the prize money from the tournament to make the entrance fee for the Budokan concert free of charge and start a revolution in the idol world called the &#8220;no-money Budokan!</p>

<h3>If you can use two or three characters, you can fight all the way.</h3>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> -Nakayama：What is the difference between people who can win in a tournament and those who can&#8217;t?</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Nakayama：People</span> who practice a lot are strong. Also, people who study their opponents and have a lot of drawers are strong. People who have studied their opponents&#8217; strategies and have many options are strong.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Mob.</span>: There are many people who use two characters.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Nakayama</span>: At the development stage, we assumed that Street Fighter 6 would be a good all-around fighter if you could use two or three characters.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Mob</span>.: I also use Gouki and practice Cammy. My fans are also starting to play Street Fighter 6, and they are getting stronger and stronger than me. When I eventually get stronger, I want to beat my fans to a pulp.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Nakayama：Mob</span>. has a great ambition. I had him perform at a previous Street Fighter 6 event, and during a break between shows, he asked me to teach him. He asked me to teach him.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Mob.</span>: But I lost in the show (laughs). So I learned the frustration, learned how to do it, and gradually became stronger. As an idol, I was happy that I could dance and that my videos got a lot of views. But by playing the game, I learned the joy of futility, mastering parts of my life that had nothing to do with my life.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Nakayama</span>: As a customer, I am right on target. But I am a fan of Mob. and I feel sorry for taking up your time when you are so busy (laughs). I&#8217;ve been doing so many live shows and practicing my game &#8230;&#8230;.</p>
