    Machine translation of the tweet, courtesy of Grok:

    Is it okay to tweak Street Fighter II X again?

    I wasn’t really involved much, but if it’s possible, I’d kinda like to give it a shot.

    Sorry if it turns into a nerf fest lol

    In response to the buzz, courtesy of the Super Lore Boys channel on YouTube here, the roundtable features the following Western pro-level players:

    1. And various non-charge characters such as S Hawk, S Ken, X Cammy, X Dhalsim, and X Zangief. ↩︎
