Final standings
Top 8
After the Elena update, Leshar changed his main character — for the most top 8 matches. He playedMai Shiranuiup to the Grand Final.
Only after the bracket reset did Leshar take Ed, the character who brought him victory at SF6 Combo Breaker 2025. That did not work, and Leshar switched to another FATAL FURY character,Terry, for the win.

Leshar is the Street Fighter 6 CEO 2025 Champion!
“CEO won! I was the first CEO and I really wanted to get in the ring, so I’m happy to have won! I came here to gain experience because I’m nervous offline, but it was a good memory! I still have some regrets about playing offline, so I want to work harder and do better! It was an honor to be able to play the finals with NL.”

In general, we could see a relatively similar situation with the SF6 character meta in the final brackets. After the buffs, Ryu is not dominating the scene: Craime won one match with this legacy Shoto, and Punk experimented with Ryu in the Losers Final.
Dee Jay made it to the final matches quite unexpectedly. He and M. Bison carried each other, so Zhen reached the top 4 with these characters.

Punk was mainly on Cammy throughout the SF6 CEO 2025 tournament. Earlier this year, he won LVL UP EXPO 2025 with her and Terry.
NL proved once again that in the right hands, the glass cannon Akuma is an amazing fighter. The player reached the top 2 at SF6 CEO 2025 and qualified for Capcom Cup 12.
