While NuckleDu had been a Guile main since the launch of Street Fighter 6, he has primarily played Mai since around August of this year. In this tournament, he relied solely on Mai to secure his victory, showcasing his mastery of the character.
It should be noted that the US/Can East region was designated as a Super Region last year (CPT 2024 season), allowing NuckleDu to qualify for Capcom Cup 11 via the regional points ranking. Additionally, the winner of last year's Regional Final was iDom, who also earned a spot at Capcom Cup 11.
The Grand Final featured Booce from the Winners Side and NuckleDu from the Losers Side. Although NuckleDu had lost to Booce in the Winners Finals, he fought his way back to the grand stage.
In the Grand Finals, NuckleDu secured a 3-0 victory to reset the bracket. He maintained his momentum in the Final Reset match, winning 3-1 to claim the championship.
Throughout the sets, Booce struggled significantly with burnout, as NuckleDu’s relentless pressure forced him into difficult resource management situations. Capitalizing on these openings, NuckleDu maintained control until the end to complete his comeback victory.
