Fighting game history was made in the subcontinent this week as the region’s premier World Warrior punched his ticket to the $1,000,000 championship stage. Our Capcom Pro Tour 2026 South Asia Final and Street Fighter 6 Tier List breaks down how SI Anik conquered the South Asia Regional Final to qualify for Capcom Cup 13, alongside the complete Season 2 frame-data tier list featuring Terry Bogard, Akuma, and M. Bison.
Capcom Pro Tour 2026 South Asia Regional Final Results
After six grueling World Warrior circuit events and a high-stakes Top 8 bracket, South Asia has crowned its representative for Capcom Cup 13:
- Champion & Capcom Cup 13 Qualifier: SI Anik defeated the region’s toughest competition in a tense Grand Finals reset (3-2, 3-1) with surgical Drive Rush spacing and corner whiff-punishes.
- Grand Prize Stake: SI Anik joins the 48-player global field competing at Capcom Cup 13 for the $1,000,000 USD first-place prize.
- Regional Growth: South Asia World Warrior registration surged by 64% in 2026, driven by improved rollback netcode routing across Mumbai, Dhaka, Colombo, and Singapore servers.

Consequently, with Terry Bogard now fully integrated into tournament play alongside Akuma and M. Bison, the competitive hierarchy heading into the final Capcom Cup qualifiers has stabilized. Below is our verified Season 2 tournament tier list based on CPT Top 8 conversion rates and pro matchup spreads.
| Tier | Fighters | CPT Top 8 Share | Core Season 2 Frame-Data Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| S+ Tier (Gods) | Akuma, Rashid, Cammy, M. Bison | 46.8% | Akuma walk speed + air fireball; Rashid Level 2 Super Ysaar mixup |
| S Tier (Tournament Meta) | Ken, Zangief, Guile, Ed, Juri | 32.4% | Ken corner carry; Zangief buffed +4 Headbutt & Drive Gauge drain |
| A+ Tier (High Viability) | Terry Bogard, Luke, Chun-Li, JP, Blanka | 15.2% | Terry’s Burn Knuckle neutral skip & Triple Geyser Level 3 damage |
| A Tier (Specialist) | Ryu, Dee Jay, Kimberly, Marisa, A.K.I. | 5.6% | High two-touch damage output, but weaker against neutral Drive Rush |
Terry Bogard Frame Data Analysis: Why Pros Rate Him A+ Tier
Furthermore, while SNK guest character Terry Bogard dominated Master League online ranked queues during his launch fortnight, tournament pros place him squarely in A+ Tier rather than S+. Specifically, Terry’s crouching Medium Kick (cr.MK, 8-frame startup) has slightly shorter disjointed hitbox range than Akuma’s or Ken’s, and his non-OD Power Wave recovery can be jumped on reaction at mid-screen. However, his unique target-combo into Power Charge -> Crack Shoot -> Rising Tackle gives him top-five corner carry and Burnout chip pressure.

Key Takeaways for Street Fighter 6 Players
- Wakeup Drive Reversal Rule: Always utilize the universal Season 2 6-frame Wakeup Drive Reversal (Forward + HP + HK on wakeup) against Rashid’s corner throw loops and M. Bison’s Psycho Mine pressure—it is only -6 on block, preventing fatal Heavy starter punishes.
- Next DLC Fighter: Following Terry Bogard, fellow SNK icon Mai Shiranui is scheduled as the Winter 2027 Year 2 Character Pass drop.
