Street Fighter 6 has recently been grabbing attention with its remarkable sales records, but a new headline has emerged, taking the discussion in a different direction altogether. The gaming community has a fondness for adding various mods to their games, but not all of them are suitable for work – use in online tournaments, especially when streaming on platforms like Twitch.
On Monday, Twitch channel Corner2Corner hosted the third Street Fighter 6 tournament of the season. However, when the first match between Lensta and Packz began, fans watching the livestream were shocked to see Chun-Li fighting with no clothes at all.
Fortunately, the match was terminated quickly, but not before some of the commentators picked up on this, with one of them saying, “That’s an interesting Chun-Li costume there,” and another chiming in sarcastically, “Keep in mind that Street Fighter 6 is an 18-plus game, as you guys can see.”
Although the channel has not been flagged or banned yet at the time of writing, Twitch’s community guidelines state that “Users are prohibited from broadcasting or uploading content that contains depictions of real nudity (which includes realistically doctored nudity). Incomplete censoring, such as pixelization, mosaics, and blurring effects, do not constitute an exemption to this policy.”
Though the clip of the stream has already been taken down, Twitch may decide to take further action down the road. Interestingly, this is not the first time that fan favorite Chun-Li has found herself at the center of an online controversy.

Fans of the Capcom franchise have previously pointed out how the martial arts master has seemingly not aged a day in the latest Street Fighter installment, despite in-game records from Street Fighter 2 indicating her birth date as March 1, 1968, which would make her 55 years old in Street Fighter 6. A similar controversy was recently kicked up around Resident Evil’s Jill Valentine.
