On June 23rd, 2023 Street Fighter 6 launched with a new character creation tool called Recipes. But recipes have always been a part of KFC's DNA. So, while big brands like Onitsuka Tiger and Chipotle paid to be official sponsors, KFC hacked its way into the game for $0. All by creating a secret recipe of our own (Chef Colonel Sanders) and incentivizing gamers to turn their attack combos into KFC combos.
