Ultimate Frame Data has pulled the Street Fighter 6 hitbox and collision data from its site after Capcom’s Intellectual Property Department asked for it to be taken down by October 30, 2026. The site’s Street Fighter 6 page now shows the letter instead of the training data.

The letter comes from Capcom’s Intellectual Property Department and says Capcom owns the copyrights and other intellectual property rights in the Street Fighter series and its characters. Capcom states that it confirmed the page holds hitbox and collision information for Street Fighter 6 that players cannot see in normal play, and that the company does not authorize using modified software or analysis tools to obtain game data. The request asks the site to review the page and consider removing or disabling the material by October 30, 2026, with [email protected] listed as the contact.

The site’s operator, who publishes it under the handle MetalMusicMan, posted the letter on X on October 23, wrote “Not my choice, sorry everyone” and said there would be no more Street Fighter 6 on the site. Kotaku reported the takedown the same day.

For players, the loss is practical. The hitbox and collision shapes that decide how far a character’s attack reaches are invisible in normal play and normally have to be pulled from the game with mods, which is why frame data sites like this one turned into standard training tools for players who want exact ranges. The site’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate section is still up.

The request is narrow in what it asks for: one page, and removal by October 30. The wording is wider than that, since Capcom says it does not authorize modified software or analysis tools used to obtain game data at all, and that language reaches past the Street Fighter 6 page it names. For anyone training for a tournament, the immediate effect is that one of the easiest ways to learn a character’s reach now sits behind a legal notice, and the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate data still on the site shows this request does not, for now, cover every game the site hosts.
