I've not been keeping up with SF6 for a while but saw there's an update dropping tomorrow. Was this out-the-blue or was it kind of expected for some reason? Are there some characters that really obviously need buffs/serfs?

What're everyone's predictions?

Balance isn't inherently good or interesting. You don't want a game where every matchup is 5:5, you want a Game where every matchup is different and dynamic.

Some of the weak characters don't need buffs to make them more like the rest of the cast. Maybe they need a buff that Makes them more 7:3 than they are. Leans into what they do good to do it better or in new ways but without fixing what's bad

Remember Street Fighter I is perfectly balanced not SFII

Does anybody use this controller for SF6? I have the PS5 version of the controller and I seem to have 5 to 10% chance of my quarter circles just straight up dropping the diagonal input.

This happens when I slide my finger from down to forward or back, so it should pass through the diagonal input every time..

When I look at my successful quarter circles in the input viewer, it shows the input as being pressed for 1 or 2f, which seems quite short to me, so perhaps I have sub 1f diagonal inputs and the game just does not catch it?

Anyone else got issues with the controller? Is my DPad just defective? Passing with the sensitivities does not fix the issue

I’m a little confused at the leadership dynamics of fighting games. I have a few questions.

What is the role of FG Franchise faces such as Ed Boon (MK) and Harada? (Tekken) Like what purpose do they serve other than being the fall guys / person to blame when things go wrong?

Who is the Harada / Ed Boon of Street Fighter? Does this mythical person exist? My guess is no, which is probably why when SF does something wrong the community doesn’t have a single person to blame. Is this a strategic move by Capcom? lol sorry for the randomness but I am genuinely curious. Would love it if someone cleared this up.

Thanks!

I was thinking recently about buff I would like to see, and thought that giving those 3 the ability to either gain (and stock for ryu and honda) 2 resources by using an slower, OD version of their move, or gain only 1 but having the OD move finish quicker (frame 38, same as Lily)

I think, especially for Honda, it would be a interesting buff, allowing him to center his playstyle around his sumo spirit.

What's your opinion ?

v0.03 of the combo calculator is available now!

This version adds Ken to the calculator, so I need testers for every character to let me know if it works! It also combines each character's calculator into one sheet for ease of use.

I am fully aware there is a patch tomorrow so this data might not be up to date for much longer, however I was too excited to not share!

I'm probably going to start adding more characters once the patch drops but in the meantime, please take a look and let me know what you think!

Is there a reason it's so hard to find a match in ranked even with the region on world wide? I legit wait like 15 minutes for a single person to pop up, I know it's not a penalty thing cause I don't have cards next to my name idk why it just takes forever, makes me wanna go back to tekken

As the title suggests, I have troubles with matchmaking. The games are being searched for 30 minutes and I can't believe that there is ABSOLUTELY NOBODY in Europe in Silver ranks who can't match me. Am I doing something wrong or is it just Street Fighter 6?

I think I'm decently knowledgeable on the lore for the most part. Or maybe just my favorite characters, but I'd love to learn more. I have some videos on YouTube saved but if anyone has anything helpful with this I'd love to know!

I’m coming over from mk. I play fighting games very little because I’m so bad but I love watching tournament style gameplay. Does sf have any daily content like rips arena or champions of the realm? Smaller channels and communities to support.

I returned to the SF world on 6, and I only really played 2 on the arcades and at home. What characters are staples now in the series that are not from the SF2 days? What characters from 3, 4 and 5 you know that are or have to be in the roster of SF6 sooner or later, and will always be in future versions of the game?

For the past few days, Street Fighter 2 has constantly been on my mind to the point I decided to breakdown the events that occur during the tournament. Do you guys wanna know how it all went down? Remember, it's my opinion, so it may not be accurate, unless this catches the attention of the creator of Street Fighter.

For those of you who actually do the martial art/sport, what is your opinion on Marisa's movements, forms and overall techniques? Does she represent the style well (to a degree)?

Ignoring the superpowers and special fx, is there a martial arts move irl that users similar movements to Cammy's spiral arrow?

Chuns f.hk makes me feel like my head is in the next dimension dude
