During the madness of the Red Bull Battle Grounds, Red Bull eSports caught up with various Street Fighter players to discuss what Street Fighter means to them and why they play the characters they do. Talking to people like Ultradavid and Seth Killian, to master Street Fighter is master one’s own mind while exploiting your opponent’s weakness. Like any other game requiring strategy, a top Street Fighter player must be able to predict and out-think their opponent, while keeping calm and not faltering when put in a stressful situation which may cause mistakes.

This strategy often manifests in character choice, as certain fighters allow players to exert pressure in a way which meshes with their playstyle and mindset. To this end, Red Bull talked to players like their very own Snake Eyez, BST|Daigo Umehara and EG|Justin Wong to understand why a specific character resonates with them.
