The focus of Chapter 12 in World Tour mode centers on combat, as Street Fighter 6 players take on the task of representing Metro City in the Tournament of Outlaws. Overcoming five formidable fighters is no easy feat, as each possesses a unique fighting style that demands a specific approach to defeat. Alongside the tournament, players will gain insight into the resistance and the emerging nation of Nayshall, with a variety of new side quests available, including the opportunity to meet one of the 18 World Tour mode Masters.
Chapter 12 - 1: Kalima of the Resistance Walkthrough
Players of Street Fighter 6 can unlock Chapter 12 by first speaking with Yua at the Central Bazaar area of Old Nayshall. Following that, they need to proceed along the train tracks located nearby and engage in a conversation with Tshelima, an NPC. If the players compliment Tshelima by telling her that she's still beautiful, she will provide them with a memo containing instructions to return to the railway bridge at night. This, in turn, unlocks the Nayshall Hangout, which can be accessed via one of the streets that lead into the Central Bazaar.
Chapter 12 - 2: Tournament of Outlaws Walkthrough
Once players switch the time of day to nighttime, their next step is to head towards the liaison point and engage in a conversation with Kalima and Rewancha. The dialogue exchange sheds light on important details about Nayshall and the resistance. Towards the end of the conversation, Kalima cautions the playable character to be wary of getting involved with the resistance. Upon successful completion of the quest "Kalima of the Resistance," players will be rewarded with 2,000 Miles and five Fortress Caramels.
With the necessary preparations out of the way, players can venture back to Punch during daytime hours to commence the Tournament of Outlaws. Utilizing Manon's Manege Dore Special, which grows increasingly potent with each use, proves to be an effective strategy in all five battles, similar to the Rudra fight in Chapter 11. Equipping a Special like Ryu's Tatsumaki Senpukyaku that can swiftly close the distance between opponents is also advisable. Stocking up on healing items is crucial, and those who find themselves running low can pick up more from vendors like Shopkeeper Udon in the Urban Park area of Metro City.
The first opponent in the Tournament is Sompong, one of Chun-Li's students. Sompong relies heavily on projectiles and aerial lightning kicks, so players need to be aggressive and take the fight to him. Sitting back and letting him attack is not an effective strategy. After Sompong comes Kim, who fights using Manon's style. To defeat Kim, players should constantly pressure him, trap him in a corner, and use Specials and throw moves to keep him down.
After the challenging match against Kim, the player's next opponent, Hazel Cruz, poses little threat as she does not have a Master and relies solely on standard attacks. These attacks can be effortlessly blocked or countered by using Specials and Drive Impacts. Moving on to round 4, the player will face Joy, who employs Kimberly's fighting style and is comparatively less aggressive than the previous three fighters. She tends to move away from the player, making it challenging to execute throws. However, players can corner her to bring her down without much trouble.
In the final round of the Tournament of Outlaws, players will face off against Gerald Golby, a skilled fighter without a master. Unlike previous opponents, players need not worry about Specials, but instead must focus on evading Gerald's powerful attacks and retaliating with punishing counters. Though he does employ Drive Impacts frequently, players can turn the tables with their own well-timed Drive Impacts. Victory against Gerald marks the completion of both the tournament and the chapter, and rewards players with 10,000 Zenny and three medium-sized Energy Drinks.
Optional Master: Juri
Players can unlock Juri as a Master by completing the "A Hardboiled Adventure" side quest, which can be initiated by talking to Govind, an NPC located in the Central Bazaar area during daylight hours from Chapter 12 onwards. During the mission, players will need to interact with two additional NPCs in the immediate vicinity: Sandal, positioned at a nearby corner, and then Capana, who can be found outside the clothing store between Sandal and Govind.
Players must speak with Capana and make their way to the back alley in Old Nayshall at night. However, players may face difficulty depending on where they are in the story. In case players are unaware of how to switch to nighttime in Nayshall, they will first need to complete the first half of the "Kalima of the Resistance" main story quest, which will unlock the Nayshall Hangout. Once they reach the alleyway, they must defeat Govind and then engage in a quick sparring match with Juri to become her student. Street Fighter 6 can be played on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
