Not worth nearly as much as Bison Dollars
Capcom’s Street Fighter 6 sees the return of “Zenny” the much-maligned Itchy & Scratchy money that made its debut in the early days of Street Fighter V, before quietly sinking without trace. In Street Fighter 6, Zenny has nothing at all to do with real purchases, and is, in fact, the currency utilized specifically in the single-player World Tour mode. Essentially, it’s the currency of the SF universe.
In Street Fighter 6 World Tour, Zenny is used to purchase all items for said mode. This includes clothing, accessories, food, gifts, power-ups, character alterations, delivery services, and more. Zenny exists purely within this universe, and cannot be spent in the Street Fighter 6 store, nor can additional Zenny be purchased by the player with real money. But you’ll need a lot of it. And here are some ways to get it.
How to earn/find more Zenny in World Tour
Zenny can be earned in fights, first and foremost. You will earn Zenny for almost every fight you complete, with additional Zenny often granted for performing specific tasks mid-fight, (be sure to “Examine” your opponent before the scrap or during (Hit Pause) to see these targets. This is one of the most common ways to fill out your wallet.
Additionally, Zenny can simply be found in and around the environment. Be sure to break open boxes and barrels, and take a stroll through areas with tall grass. There are also loot crates littered throughout all of World Tour mode that sometimes contain additional Zenny, so keep a lookout for these.
You can also bag extra Zenny by selling items to vendors. As a general rule, you can sell any items to any vendor, including clothing, gifts, and unused power-ups. On your travels, you can also find or win metallic nuggets — Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond — which can be sold for huge sums of Zenny. Win these by meeting certain conditions in fights with opponents who are carrying them.
Perhaps the fastest way to earn Zenny is to literally earn it. That is, to spend some time grinding out some of the jobs in and around Metro City. These mini-games include board breaking, bottle smashing, truck destroying, and other activities. But the fastest and most efficient job is probably at the fast food joint Hado Pizza, located next to the building site and skywalk entrance.
Rounds of Hado Pizza, played on Hard, last a mere minute in real-time and can pay dividends for correct play. A good 5-10 minutes spent working here should set you up with a decent chunk of change.
Better yet, once you open up the region of Nayshall, go and visit the scrap merchant in the lower region. Here, you will be able to play rounds of Scrap Fighter II — Taking on hapless Tuk-Tuks against the time limit. Played on Hard, and with quality attacks such as Blanka’s Electric Storm, a player can rack up a staggering 20,000 Zenny in one 60-second round. Grind the job for 30 minutes and you’re golden.
Just don’t spend it all at once. Eh, I’m not your dad, spend on whatever you like.
