When a character reaches 10 Chi Symbols, that character qualifies for the right to face the reigning Grand Champion. The players that will compete in the Championship match are determined by those with best records with each character.
In the original Sonic Street Fighter tournament, Metal Sonic came out as the champion. In the final round, he defeated Knuckles by a Perfect Victory. Later, he would surpass Brian, the SSF Grand Master. As such, Metal Sonic enters this competition as the reigning champion.
Because this is an all-new competition, Metal Sonic will still compete. He will continue until someone has earned the 10 Chi Symbols required for the championship. At this point, Metal Sonic will leave the regular competition, only to defend his championship. However, upon losing the title, he will be allowed to continue his Chi Symbol status from where it was left off (unless he was the first to reach 10.) As the first champion, he is the only one who earns this right.
