On October 3, Kenny Omega and Demetrious Johnson clashed in Street Fighter 6. The clash was streamed on the Crown Twitch Channel as part of The Pit Crew.
The two competitors suffered advantages and disadvantages as the game played out, but when all things were equal, Omega proved to be the better player.
Speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Johnson reflected on the showdown.
“Kenny is a master,” said Johnson. “I couldn’t get it done. Guile was my main, and Manon is a grappler. I’ve had a lot of success with Manon players online, but Kenny is exceptional. The friendship formed by us just playing Street Fighter 6–that is my favorite game right now, and we are both passionate about fighting games. I had heard of him cause my kiddos have his toys, so I was familiar with the name, but we hadn’t met prior to the event. I need to master my new main, Deejay. Then I need to put more strategy together for the matchup. I have a lot of work to do in order to get ready for Kenny again.”
The two men were playing for their respective charities with DJ representing Children's Hospital while Omega was playing for Hulls Haven.
