Street Fighter 6 patch notes 2024: la actualización de Akuma

Llegó el momento de los Street Fighter 6 patch notes. El juego está pasando por un momento único tras la llegada de Akuma como el último personaje de DLC en la primera temporada.

La llegada del llamado ‘Maestro del Puño’ vino acompañada de una robusta actualización de balance que la comunidad había pedido durante meses. Y por ello, aquí te tengo los cambios implementados en la versión más reciente del juego: buffs, nerfs y ajustes universales.

Toda la información fue tomada directamente del sitio web oficial de Capcom.

Overall direction in Street Fighter 6 patch notes 2024

In terms of game balance, while each character has received some buffs and nerfs, in terms of nerfs we primarily focused on the following points.

1. Weaken moves that were difficult to deal with and provided easy results
For example, for attacks that could be canceled into special moves, had good range and short recovery, we decided to adjust them by adding recovery, expanding their hurtbox, etc.

While those attacks are part of a character’s identity, if they proved too difficult for characters to deal with, interactions would end up in stalemates, or they would end up being the best answer to all situations, so we wanted to improve those situations.

2. Weaken moves that proved to be too oppressive
Continuing with the last balance update, techniques that were able to limit the opponent’s movements too much were weakened.

3. Retooling low risk/high return moves
There were many cases where the game system allows for weak attacks to pick up easy returns, while Perfect Parries could turn the tide of the match quickly, so these areas have been slightly adjusted with the idea of reeling things back a little.

Modern Controls
We have changed how Assisted Combos work when the player doesn’t have enough Drive or Super Art gauge. Additionally, some characters had difficult to use Assisted Combo routes, so we also changed those. There are some characters who have had the first attack of an Assisted Combo or their practical use changed, but we feel that in the long term these changes will benefit players using this control scheme.

Drive Reversals
Without an invincible attack, it proved difficult to deal with strong wake-up pressure, so now all characters can perform a Drive Reversal on their wake-up recovery as a way to deal with this. This technique is useful against throws or big attacks, but may be difficult to use against attacks with slow start-up or light attacks, etc.

Drive and Perfect Parry
As noted above, we have looked at adjusting the risk/return for Perfect Parry. We felt that the risk of looking to score a Perfect Parry while out of throw range gave too high of a return, and depending on the situation, it proved more beneficial to get the Perfect Parry instead of going on the attack, so by increasing its overall length and expanding the throw hitbox, we’re looking to make it easier to take risks in these situations. Additionally, in order for Perfect Parries to not change the course of the match too much, after a successful Perfect Parry, the player will receive less meter gain.

For Drive Parries, the hurtbox after the Perfect Parry window has passed (frame 3 and later) is expanding, allowing it to absorb attacks from further away. After absorbing an attack, the time before the Drive gauge begins to replenish has also been shortened, making Drive Parry a more effective tactic primarily against projectiles.

Back Throws
One way of reducing the return a player gets from a Perfect Parry that we have made is an adjustment to how back throws are handled when performed with your back to the corner. Characters who could perform a back throw into the corner, and then repeatedly throw opponents in any situation will now have a harder time doing so.

Reworking Successful Command Inputs
We’ve made some changes with the aim of reducing the number of missed or accidental special moves.

1. Adjusted special move input recognition frames
For every command we made adjustments so special moves will come out less often if you complete a command, and then press a button slightly afterwards.

2. Adjusted ↓↘→ or ↓↙← in mid-air
Mid-air commands often require the player to perform the inputs quickly, and certain inputs tended to miss, so we have relaxed the input requirements.

3. Adjusted ↓↓ commands
This is an adjustment to avoid accidental Cancel Drive Rushes. During sequences such as ↓ + Light Punch > Neutral + Medium Punch + Medium Kick > ↓ + Light Punch, ↓↓ commands should no longer come out by accident.

4. Pressing Medium, Heavy attacks at the same time will not perform transition techniques. This change is primarily aimed at techniques that are cancelable or are target combo starters, and special moves that have transition attacks or low recovery, etc.

We’ve made changes so that with Cancel Drive Rush and Drive Impact, once their recovery is over and players go for an immediate Drive Rush, etc. mistaken inputs would not unintentionally perform transition techniques. Please note that this adjustment is only when the player presses both buttons at exactly the same time.

Combo Counts
Combo counts are mentioned in the Battle Change List entries found on the official Buckler’s Boot Camp site, and details on the terms used there can be found below.

– Combo Count Initial Value
The numerical value used to indicate when an air combo starts from a particular move. The smaller a move’s combo count initial value is, the easier it is for that move to begin an air combo, and vice-versa.

– Combo Count Additional Value
A numerical value that increases when a move is incorporated into an air combo. The smaller a move’s combo count additional value is, the easier it is for that move to begin an air combo, and vice-versa.

– Combo Count Upper Limit
A numerical value used to determine up to which point a move can land in an air combo. The larger a move’s combo count upper limit is, the easier that move can be incorporated into a combo.

Universal changes

Input recognition

The Input Recognition Frame, which is the number of frames within which you must press the attack button after a special move command is inputted in order for the game to recognize you are performing a special move, has been adjusted per command.

1. For ↓↘→ or ↓↙← commands while standing on the ground, the Input Recognition Frame has been changed from 11 to 9 frames.

This means the attack button must be pressed within 9 frames of the final → or ← command being input for it to be recognized and have the special move be performed.

For ↓↘→ or ↓↙← commands while in the air, the Input Recognition Frame remains at 11 frames.

2. For ←↙↓↘→ or →↘↓↙← commands, the Input Recognition Frame has been changed from 12 frames to 9 frames.

Mid-air ↓↘→ and ↓↙← Command Moves

Considering the fastest possible input necessary for instant aerial commands, the input difficulty has been eased slightly, and ↓↙← + K commands can now be performed using any downward direction (↙ or ↓ or ↘) followed by ↙← + K.

↓↓+ Button Commands

If Medium Punch+Medium Kick are input between a double Down tap, no command will be performed.

This adjustment was made so that if you immediately double tap Down after a Cancel Drive Rush from a crouching attack, a double Down command move will not be performed by accident.

Jump Landing Hurtboxes

The following characters have had their hurtbox while landing from a jump moved upwards to match other characters, as it was previously lower and caused unanticipated attacks to hit them.

Chun-Li, Dhalsim, Lily, A.K.I.

Stun Timing Adjustments

Fixed an issue where if an opponent in Burnout blocks a Drive Impact a certain distance away from the corner of the screen, and the player performs a technique just before stun occurs, no combo scaling would be applied on the combo after the stun.

Drive Parry

1. Throw hurtbox has been expanded while the technique is being performed.
2. Hurtbox from the 3rd frame and later has been expanded
3. The shortest possible active parry hitbox time has changed from 8 frames to 12 frames.
4. Recovery after the active frames has changed from 29 frames to 33 frames.
5. After absorbing an attack, the time until the Drive Gauge starts to auto regenerate has changed from 60 frames to 20 frames.

Perfect Parry

The overall gauge fluctuation from a counter attack after a Perfect Parry has been reduced. This adjustment is not just for the first attack, but affects all attacks until the combo ends.

1. Super Art gauge increase has changed from 100% to 80% for both the attacker and damage-taker.
2. Drive gauge increase for the attacker has changed from 100% to 50%
3. Drive gauge decrease for the damage-taker has changed from 100% to 50%

Drive Rush

Expanded the attack and throw hurtboxes of the Parry Drive Rush so that they’re no longer smaller than the ones for a Drive Parry.

Drive Impact

Blanka

While we’ve made some changes to expand Blanka’s combo routes and improve the reliability of certain combos, we’ve also made some adjustments to his hard to deal with moves and attack sequences to add some more risk to justify their rewards.

In terms of combos, links such as Crouching Light Punch to Medium Rolling Attack or combos utilizing Wild Lift, which could be tricky to nail the distance on, have received tweaks to extend the range at which you can successfully combo with them. The hitbox of Overdrive Backstep Rolling’s first hit has also been expanded, making it a new viable choice for a damaging combo route that doesn’t require any charged input.

Blocked Rock Crusher off of a Drive Rush created a combination unique to Blanka with it being an overhead and leaving him in normal throw range along with a +2 advantage. This made attack sequences that followed it incredibly potent, so the recovery has been adjusted to line up with that of the other characters.

There were also cases where inputting the command for Coward Crouch would result in Wild Lift inadvertently coming out, so we’ve also made adjustments to stop that from happening.

Modern Controls – Adjustment
While Lightning Beast is activated, when using the SP button for easy inputs to cancel from a normal move etc. to Rolling Attack/Vertical Rolling Attack, you can perform the attacks without having to charge back or down-back.

Assisted Combo 2 – Adjustment
Combo has changed to the following during Burnout.
Wild Edge > Crouching Medium Kick > Medium Rolling Attack

Assisted Combo 3 – Adjustment
Combo has changed to the following.
Standing Heavy Punch > Coward Crouch > Wild Lift > Medium Rolling Attack > Grand Shave Cannonball

Jungle Flip (Backwards Throw) – Universal Adjustment
Distance increased between opponents when Blanka’s back is to the corner.

Drive Reversal – Adjustment
Blanka is considered to be in a standing state during the length of the technique.

Standing Medium Punch – Adjustment
Hurtbox around the arms from frames 10 – 12 reduced.

Crouching Light Punch – Adjustment
Advantage on hit changed from +4 to +5 frames.

Crouching Medium Punch – Adjustment
Expanded the hurtbox from frames 19 – 28 forward.

Crouching Medium Kick – Adjustment
1. 2 frames of recovery added on block or when the attack misses.
Note: Advantage on block will not change.
2. Hurtbox around the body from frames 13 – 28 expanded only when the attack misses.

Rock Crusher (→ + Medium Punch) – Adjustment
Disadvantage on block changed from -2 to -3 frames.

Coward Crouch (↓ + Two Punches) – Adjustment
Input period for transition attacks changed from the starting on the 1st frame to starting on the 6th frame.

Wild Lift (↓ + Two Punches > Punch) – Adjustment
Attack hitbox expanded forward.

Medium Rolling Attack (Charge ←, → + Medium Punch) – Adjustment
Attack hitbox added only when the opponent is in a combo, allowing Blanka to string combos together more easily.

Overdrive Rolling Attack (Charge ←, → + Two Punches) – Adjustment
1. Hitbox for when Blanka is considered to be on the ground when the attack is blocked has been made 4 frames faster.
2. Hurtbox for when Blanka is considered on the ground is now a standing hurtbox.

Overdrive Backstep Rolling Attack (→↘↓↙← + Two Kicks) – Adjustment
First attack’s hitbox expanded forward.

Overdrive Aerial Rolling Attack (Charge ←, → + Two Punches, during a jump) – Adjustment
1. Landing recovery increased by 5 frames.
2. The upper part of the hitbox will no longer hit the back of enemies.

Blanka-chan Bomb (↓↓ + Punch) – Adjustment
1. Added 20% of initial scaling.
2. Changed combo scaling from 10% to 20%.

SA1 Normal/Lightning Beast Shout of Earth – Bug Fix
The 1st frame of the technique was completely invincible, and this has been changed to be only strike and throw invincible.

Cammy

Cammy has received a wide range of changes with this update. Everything from her status after an attack, to reviewing her special attack abilities, as well as her combo routes and command inputs, etc. have been adjusted.

Her forward throw now puts her slightly further away from the opponent after it hits. At the corner of the screen, it’s still possible for her to move forward and set up a strike/throw mixup on her opponent, but her ability to dig in deep with light attacks has been mitigated. Cannon Strike’s hurtbox while the move is being performed has been significantly changed. Up until now the hurtbox was smaller immediately after the move started, making it very hard for opponents to hit her with zoning attacks, but during the active frames her hurtbox would become much bigger, which caused her to lose to low attacks that she should have been able to avoid.

With this update, the hurtbox immediately after the attack is performed is now expanded downward, while when the attack hitbox is out, the hurtbox around the foot has been reduced so she won’t lose to attacks closer to the ground. Her instant Cannon Strike now loses more often to zoning attacks higher off the ground, so Cammy players will have to think about their opponent’s attacks and how they compete with her Cannon Strike, as well as the timing of her own attack.

The timing for when Lift Combination and Assault Blade out of the heavy version of Hooligan Combination switches sides with the opponent is now slower. While it’s still possible from the beginning of a combo to switch sides with the opponent, Cannon Strike will no longer hit after turning around, so you won’t be able to score a combo that gives you an advantageous situation and damage at the same time.

Finally, when Cammy performed her Super Art level 2 from a low level Cannon Strike, the aerial version of the attack would sometimes be performed unintentionally, so to combat this we have changed the command input from Kick to Punch.

3. Fixed an issue where the Drive gauge would recover during the cutscene when used in a combo that utilized Drive Rush.
4. A hurtbox was added as the 1st frame of the technique was completely invincible.
Note: Cammy moves during the screen transition, so the property of avoiding ground attacks has not changed.

Chun-Li

Chun-Li’s strengths on the ground have been rooted in her powerful pokes and high walking speed, however, those combined with the game systems and the properties of her moves could turn her matches into a waiting game, where it became a little too hard for opponents to fight back. With this in mind, we’ve opted to dial down some of those core elements.

In exchange, we’ve strengthened some of her attacks to make taking the fight to the opponent more appealing. While her Standing Heavy Punch was previously hard to use, due to hurtboxes that greatly extended forward before its active frames and the high risk of eating a counter if you misjudged the spacing, these points have been improved on to turn the move into one that can be turned to more frequently for aggressive play.

Swift Thrust has also seen some tweaks. In the past it was difficult to get a good return on confirms with it, but it’s now possible to string it together with a wider range of moves via Cancel Drive Rush. The reduced pushback on hit should also make it easier for Forward Strike (Light Kick during Serenity Stream) to reach, making for a more potent tool if used in the right moment.

Backwards Walk – Adjustment
Movement speed has been reduced.

Assisted Combo 2 – Adjustment / Bug Fix
1. Fixed an issue where after the jump cancel, the Assisted Combo would end before Chun-Li lands.

Overdrive Aerial Hundred Lightning Kicks (↓↘→ + Two Kicks, during a neutral or forward jump) – Adjustment
1. Damage changed from 200×5+300 (1300) to 250×5+350 (1600).
2. Reduced landing recovery by 10 frames.
3. Increased knockdown time on hit by 7 frames.
4. Reduced blowback time on hit.
5. Reduced horizontal blowback on hit.
6. Expanded hurtbox downward.
Note: Expanded portion of the hurtbox is projectile invincible.

SA1 Aerial Kikosho – Adjustment

SA2 Hoyoku-sen – Adjustment
Changed Super Art gauge increase for Chun-Li from 100% to 70% for follow-up combos after this hits, until the combo ends.

Dee Jay

Dee Jay possesses a unique range of movements to fluster opponents and keep them guessing, and that’s something that we don’t want to change, however, we’ve opted to tone down his damage output, which was a little too high, and have also made adjustments to weaken some factors that proved hard to deal with for opponents.

While his attack power has been dropped, changes to Face Breaker’s damage reaction when hitting opponents in the air, along with changes to its combo count should open up new combo routes. This should work particularly well as an extra combo option out Overdrive Maximum Strike.

Considering The Greatest Sobat’s lack of invincibility, we’ve adjusted it so that Dee Jay’s left in a better situation whether it hits or is blocked. The risks are now lower when aiming for whiff punishes, and even on a normal hit you’ll be in a position to hound the opponent with some wake-up offense. It’s also easier to follow up on a Standing Medium Kick counter hit with it. All this adds up to more combo choices that don’t rely on the Drive Gauge.

Jackknife Maximum possessed far greater anti-air and counterattack properties than techniques that other characters carried. Of course, it depended on how it was used, but in general we felt its ability to deter opponents was too great, and as a result we’ve made some adjustments to bring it more in line. While it has been weakened it’s use in combos shouldn’t be impacted.

Assisted Combo 2 – Adjustment
Combo has now changed to the following during Burnout.
Crouching Medium Punch > Double Rolling Sobat

Assisted Combo 3 – Adjustment
Combo has now changed to the following during Burnout.
Face Breaker > Double Rolling Sobat > Weekend Pleasure

1. Hurtbox on the body during frames 19 – 30 expanded forward only when the attack misses.
2. Attack hitbox expanded during active frames 1 – 3, matching the one from active frame 4.

Crouching Heavy Kick – Adjustment
Unified the upward blowback hit effect on Punish Counter on a mid-air opponent, as the effect differed depending on the location of the hit.

Threebeat Combo (Light Punch > Medium Kick > Medium Kick) – Adjustment
1. Changed the Modern control input to Light > Medium > Medium.
2. Extended the final attack’s input period by 2 frames.
3. Changed the advantage on hit for the final attack from +2 to +3 frames.

Face Breaker (← ＋ Heavy Kick) – Adjustment / Bug Fix
1. Reduced the blowback time when the first attack hits a mid-air opponent.
2. The Super Art increase on block was the same as the increase on hit, so it’s been changed from 1000 to 500.

1. The mid-air hitbox now appears on the 5th frame of the attack instead of the 4th frame.
2. Reduced the forward attack hitbox on the first attack, and adjusted so that the reduced part of the hitbox can only hit an opponent already in a combo.
3. Reduced collision pushbox downward until the 5th frame.
4. Expanded the collision pushbox upward when the attack hits.

Double Rolling Sobat (↓↘→ + Heavy Kick) – Adjustment

5. Fixed an issue where it was possible to cancel with a normal or special move on the fifth attack of Marvelous Sunrise Festival 2 frames before recovery ends.

Dhalsim

We’ve made adjustments to Dhalsim’s overall gameplan so that he’ll be able to zone his opponents easier with his projectiles and get a better return from his anti-airs and combos.

While he won’t be receiving any large, significant changes, reducing his disadvantage when his attacks are blocked and the new Recovery Drive Reversal will give him better ways to fight back than before.

Merciless Yoga’s start-up is now faster when performed out of Yoga Flame, which should make it easier to put together combos.

His Standing Medium Kick adjustment means that after it is blocked, it’ll be harder for light attacks to counter attack. Depending on the opponent it proved to be an extremely difficult to use the move, so we’ve made adjustments so that counterattacks will not reach him unless they’re performed up close.

His Drive Reversal will now knock down on the first hit, and we’ve also made it so Dhalsim is no longer at a one-sided disadvantage when projectiles clash.

Assisted Combo 2 – Adjustment
Combo changed to the following during Burnout.
Divine Kick > Medium Yoga Flame

Assisted Combo 3 – Adjustment
Combo changed to the following during Burnout.
Standing Heavy Kick > Heavy Yoga Fire > Merciless Yoga

Ed

As Ed was the last character released before the balance adjustments, most of his changes this time focused on control revisions, alleviating some of the difficulty with his combos, bug fixes, and the universal changes that other characters received.

For individual changes, the recovery on Ed’s Crouching Light Punch has been improved. Initially, we took into account Ed’s abilities and his Crouching Light Punch’s properties, and set things up so that he wouldn’t be too strong when factoring in Drive Rush. However at a -5 frame disadvantage he had no way of following up, and we anticipated that using his light attack would become a veritable weak point, so we have made adjustments to improve on his recovery.

Assisted Combo 1 – Adjustment
Combo has changed to the following.
Standing Light Punch > Standing Light Punch > Medium Psycho Blitz

Assisted Combo 2 – Adjustment
Combo has changed to the following.
– Super Art gauge has 1 stock

SA3/CA Psycho Chamber – Bug Fix
Fixed an issue where when performed in certain situations, the range of the attack would stretch out forward more than usual.

E. Honda

With Sumo Headbutt and Sumo Smash at his disposal, E. Honda has been a powerhouse when it comes to taking control of the neutral game. Not only were the two attacks difficult to deal with, since Honda remained in a position to pressure opponents into making hasty decisions even after the moves were blocked, those without the right tools to handle them would often find themselves overwhelmed in dull, one-sided scenarios.

The usual go-to strategy for dealing with these two moves had been the Perfect Parry, but with the decreased returns on successful Perfect Parries as of this update we decided that the risk and return had been tipped in a direction that would be difficult to match with how it was previously. So, instead of making further tweaks to Perfect Parries we’ve opted to make changes to the situations that occur after blocking the moves and for when they miss, lowering the difficulty for opponents to form a response after. We’ve not simply just lowered the properties of the moves though. Despite the changes mentioned above we’ve also made some positive changes to the parameters for the moves, as well as making them create better conditions on hit, so that they’ll prove to be even more powerful tools in creating more favorable scenarios if used at the right time.

We’ve also made changes to other moves that were overshadowed by the two staples, opening up the potential options on hand. As well as adding another path to bank some Sumo Spirit, you can also now cancel into the Sumo Spirit version of Hundred Hand Slap from certain kick normals. With this, the overhead Crouching Medium Kick gains even more potential to open up opponents to damaging combos and should prove as a great new choice for dealing with opponents on the retreat.

Overdrive Teppo Triple Slap’s second hit on opponents not in the air now produces a simple knockback, so its +5 advantage on counter hit it should be easier to use to kick off combos now. Whether you’re using it as part of an attack sequence or as an option for interrupting your opponent’s assault, you should find the move more useful than it’s ever been.

Assisted Combo 2 – Adjustment / Bug Fix
1. Fixed an issue where the second attack of Overdrive Teppo Triple Slap would cancel into Super Art 2 Ultimate Killer Head Ram.
2. Combo has now changed to the following during Burnout.

Overdrive Teppo Triple Slap (↓↘→ + Two Kicks > Punch) – Adjustment
1. Hit effect for the second attack when it hits a standing opponent changed from a blowback knockdown to knockback.

Guile

Guile’s ability to keep firing off Sonic Booms without tapping into the Drive Gauge gave him incredible command over the neutral game. While Drive Parry was a good means of dealing with this previously, the universal changes made to the mechanic for this update have diminished their effectiveness in dealing with Guile here. As such, the hurtboxes for Sonic Boom have been adjusted so that it’s easier to deal with the move using jump attacks or space-controlling moves.

On the other hand, Sonic Booms of different strengths will now reduce the opponent’s Drive Gauge by different amounts, giving players an incentive to use the previously underutilized Medium version and the fast-moving Heavy version much more. Forcing your opponent to block these should see Guile eat away at the opponent’s resources at a greater rate.

Considering the speed at which it came out, Sonic Hurricane (Side) had enormous reach, which put heavy restrictions on the actions available to certain characters once that threat was on the table. As a result, the frontmost part of the move during active frames 1 to 3 will now only hit opponents already tagged in a combo.

The blowback on hit from Overdrive Sonic Blade has also been adjusted so that it’s easier to hit opponents with a follow-up Sonic Cross. In addition, the additional input version of Overdrive Sonic Cross will now only use one block of the Drive Gauge instead of two. This combined with the increased wall splat time on hit should see it being used more often to cook up combos.

Combo has changed to the following when the Super Arts gauge has less than 1 bar full.
Double Shot > Heavy Somersault Kick

Assisted Combo 3 – Adjustment

Jamie

Jamie had a unique characteristic of being able to have both close-range oppressive power coupled with the ability to break down opponents when his drink level was raised, but there were times when it was difficult for him to raise his drink level to unlock that damage potential with the limited tools available at the start of a match. For this update, we’ve looked at giving him more ways to raise his drink level and to increase its benefits, so he can show more of his characteristics.

For normal attacks, the advantage on hit for Crouching Medium Punch now allows him to cancel into Overdrive Swagger Step for a combo, etc. This change compensates the short range on the normal attack with a good return, with the added benefit of giving him a chance to raise his drink level.

For special moves, Heavy Swagger Step can no longer be punished even when blocked up close, making it a strong attack with lower risk when canceled into.

The final attack of Bitter Strikes, which is unlocked with drink level, can be canceled into Cancel Drive Rush even if the last attack is blocked, so you can perform that move and cancel into Crouching Light Punch to force the opponent to block it, creating a frame advantage situation to continue your offense.

Finally, Jamie has received a lot of adjustments to make him easier to play, such as Super Art level l’s better start-up, but also received some downward adjustments, such as to his Crouching Heavy Kick, which was difficult for some characters to deal with when they blocked it.

JP

JP was designed to be a character that was slow and had trouble chasing down opponents, but would be excellent at keeping them away with his useful normals and unique attacks.

However, his long reach and excellent hitboxes made it hard for his opponents to take the risk to get in, and JP was able to throw out attacks without much care if they missed. To combat this, we have adjusted him so that his pokes will lose out more to low attacks, but his standing medium kick will be able to overcome those low attacks. By doing this we’re looking to mitigate JP players from using the same techniques repeatedly and instead consider appropriate attacks for a given situation.

The concept behind Super Art Lovushka was to aim to break an opponent’s defenses after activation with an oppressive offense, but its overall recovery was short, meaning it was very unexpectedly useful even as a defensive tool. Therefore we reviewed its overall recovery to reduce the number of situations it can be effectively used. A new approach for Lovushka is to activate it after an Overdrive art like OD Torbalan or OD Stribog. This adjustment was made with the thinking that it will give players new avenues if they’re willing to pay the cost for it.

Finally, Interdiction was able to induce stun in too many situations after the opponent was put into Burnout, making it too much of a deciding factor in matches. With this in mind, we’ve made adjustments so that JP’s situation after hit is slightly worse.

Juri

For Juri we wanted to focus on revising attacks that didn’t see much action in a match, and also make adjustments to her combo routes, etc.

We changed the transition timing for the Standing Medium Punch when used in the Death Crest target combo, and on hit you can now cancel into a Super Art, allowing you to score big damage. If Standing Medium Punch is blocked and you anticipate your opponent making a move, hitting with the very tip of a follow-up Standing Medium Punch can link into a Super Art.

The normal version of Ankensatsu now links to Standing Light Kick on hit, which provides Juri with some new combo routes whenever she doesn’t have Fuha stocked. Light attacks now link into Overdrive Fuhajin, giving Juri way better compatibility with her attacks, and providing her with new combo routes that she hasn’t had previously.

Other changes made to the chain combo version of her Renko Kicks, and Shiren-sen, making it so it’s harder for the second attack to miss if the first attack connects. We made this adjustment so that players can get the damage when using them in combos.

2. Hurtbox around the feet remains until the end of recovery only when the attack misses.

Note: Chain combo damage changed from 500 to 300.

Chain Combo Renko Kicks (→ + Heavy Punch) – Adjustment

2. Added a new attack hitbox to the second attack that is only applied when an opponent is in a combo, making it easier to hit opponents after the first attack.

Normal/Chain Combo Korenzan (← + Heavy Kick) – Adjustment
Changed the hit effect on the second attack when it lands on a mid-air opponent from a knockdown slam to a ground bound.

Death Crest (Medium Punch > ← + Heavy Punch > Heavy Punch) – Adjustment

When canceling from a normal attack or special move into this attack, the transition timing from the third attack into Overdrive Saihasho/Ankensatsu is now 1 frame earlier.
Note: This change is made to give this technique the same properties as using a Fuha stock to transition from Overdrive Saihasho/Ankensatsu to Overdrive Go Ohsatsu.

1. Juri now follows the opponent after the blowback.

Ken

While Ken received adjustments to his forward throw in the last update, he still had strong pressure in the corner of the stage, so we’ve made more adjustments to suppress his strong striking options. On the other hand, we’ve given him more options for the neutral and combos to compensate.

Chin Buster’s return on hit and his ability to follow-up with strong options on block were difficult for opponents to deal with, and even Drive Reversal couldn’t solve some situations, so the attack has been weakened.

Heavy Jinrai Kick’s forward hurtbox was reduced, so that it’s easier for Ken to tap opponents from a slightly further distance, which will increase his options at that range. His Hadoken didn’t receive the same treatment as Ryu’s, but we did reduce its hurtbox by a little bit.

The Quick Dash version of his Shoryuken now hits multiple times more often, and he’s been given a better situation after it hits. This will make it easier to select routes that focus on damage while in the center of the stage.

Quick Dash had an issue where the Overdrive version of an attack would accidentally come out too often, so we’ve made adjustments so that the Overdrive version will only have priority when a neutral input is detected.

Assisted Combo 2 – Adjustment
Combo has changed to the following when the Super Art gauge is less than 2 bars.
Chin Buster > Quick Dash > Quick Dash Dragonlash Kick > Heavy Shoryuken

Assisted Combo 3 – Adjustment
Combo has changed to the following during Burnout.
Standing Heavy Punch > Medium Jinrai Kick > Kazekama Shin Kick > Shinryu Reppa

2. Attack hitbox expanded forward.
3. Horizontal blowback reduced on hit.

5. Proximity block trigger startup changed from frame 18 to frame 13.

Normal Gorai Axe Kick (↓↘→ + Kick > → + Medium Kick) – Adjustment

SA2 Shippu Jinrai-kyaku – Adjustment / Bug Fix
1. Damage on final hit changed from 500 to 600.
2. Complete invincibility on frame 1 has been removed.

Kimberly

Kimberly already has a lot of offensive potential going for her, so this time we’ve made changes to expand some of her neutral game options and increase the utility of some moves.

With some tweaks to its active frames, Light Vagabond Edge should now be on the receiving end of counters less. Until now Kimberly hasn’t had many tools available to her in the neutral game, with very few forward reaching moves, but with this change she now has a viable option to tag opponents from an even greater range than her go-to Standing Medium Kick.

In addition to this we’ve added new avenues for certain Super Arts that were hard to work in, and made certain Special Moves easier to use. One example is Overdrive Nue Twister. It’s now easier to weave it into some lethal combos, but we’ve also counter-balanced its boosts with some additional combo scaling to reign in its combo damage potential a bit.

Assisted Combo 2 – Adjustment
Combo has now changed to the following.
– When Super Art gauge has less than 1 bar
Standing Medium Kick > Overdrive Vagabond Edge > Jump cancel > Jumping Medium Punch > Aerial Bushin Senpukyaku

SA1 Bushin Beats/Bushin Thunderous Beats – Adjustment / Bug Fix

Modern: Hold Light Attack, SP, or Heavy Attack

SA3/CA Bushin Ninjastar Cypher – Adjustment
Added a new attack hitbox that is only applied when an opponent is in a combo, allowing Kimberly to hit opponents in front of her easier.

Lily

Lily’s Crouching Heavy Punch, her main tool in the neutral when dealing with either ground or airborne opponents, had very high proficiency compared to her other attacks, which led to situations where she became a one-note character. To combat this, we’ve increased the hurtbox on the Crouching Heavy Punch, adding more risk to it when the attack misses.

We looked at improving attacks that didn’t see much action in fights, making them easier to use as counterattacks or in combos.

For her Overdrive Condor Wind, due to the attack start-up’s change, it can now be used better in combos or as part of a counterattack combo route from a light attack punish counter or a medium attack.

Her Standing Light Kick’s overall recovery and advantage were given revisions, and on counter hit or higher, other attacks will combo, making it easier to use as your fastest response to interrupt the opponent or for a counterattack.

However, this change to recovery means that after a normal hit, if you look to use a Mexican Typhoon immediately after, it will whiff, so be careful when using them in tandem.

Assisted Combo 1 – Adjustment
Combo has now changed to the following during Burnout.
Crouching Light Kick > Crouching Light Punch > Heavy Tomahawk Buster

Assisted Combo 2 – Adjustment
Combo has now changed to the following.

3. Attack startup is faster only when canceled from Overdrive Condor Spire.

Luke

While Luke’s strong anti-air and poke moves formed a core part of his characteristics, they also had very few gaps, leading to matches losing momentum and coming to a standstill. To remedy this, we’ve weakened some of his interception techniques. To balance this out and expand Luke’s offensive options, his forward advancing normals, such as Standing Heavy Kick, have been bolstered and made easier to use.

For Luke’s other overall balance adjustments, we’ve also overhauled some combo parts. While the damage across the board has dropped, combos utilizing Standing Heavy Punch and DDT should see some hefty returns with more damage than they’ve been able to dish out in the past.

In addition, combo links such as ‘Overdrive Flash Knuckle to Heavy Rising Uppercut’ or ‘Crouching Heavy Punch to Perfect Medium Flash Knuckle’ have been adjusted so they have less chances of failing, meaning it’s now easier to create some tricky combos for those willing to take up the challenge.

Manon

Manon’s options to close in on an opponent were lacking, and her attack options after she got close were a little weak. Considering the adjustments made to Drive Reversal, we expected that she would have a harder time raising her Medal level. For that reason we’ve given her more striking pressure, and made it easier for her options to hit.

Additionally, we changed the Modern controls so that + Attack will now perform Degage. There was some input overlap with Degage and her Manege Dore command throw, so we felt it would be difficult to have both in Modern controls and decided to just go with Manege Dore, but Manon not having access to all her Degage variations for combos and the neutral game proved to be too much of a disadvantage for her, so now she can use both.

We also made it more difficult for Manege Dore to accidentally come out when inputting Degage by changing its input success criteria. Details can be found in Manon’s specific section of the Battle Change List page, available on the official Street Fighter 6 Buckler’s Boot Camp site. Please note that this change also affects Classic controls as well.

Marisa

Marisa’s staggering damage output from her strikes is a central core of her character, but the relentless assaults possible after landing her command throw, as well as her powerful table-turning counterattacks, made for a combination that was a little too potent at turning matches completely on their head. With this in mind, we’ve made her strikes more powerful, to let those traits truly shine, and then we’ve decreased the advantage frames of her command throw, Enfold, as well as those for her SA3 on hit. We’ve also adjusted the counter-attack focused moves Scutum and Overdrive Gladius to dial down their damage potential.

In terms of the boosts to her strikes, each of her charged attacks now have greater advantage on contact, with the tweaks meaning that they’ll also no longer leave any openings to counters on block. Falx Crusher, which was previously very situational, has also been improved on, which should make it a more attractive option when the moment presents itself and you’re after a big return.

In order to ease one of Marisa’s weaknesses, where it could be hard to hit retreating opponents with her attacks, we’ve made adjustments to some moves, such as making it so that the proximity block triggers for Marisa’s Standing Heavy Kick and Crouching Heavy Kick activate from the start of the moves to stop retreating opponents in their tracks. This combined with the other buffs to strikes should put them back in the spotlight on the offensive front.

Rashid

Rashid’s adjustments have been centered on expanding on the chances to use each of his Super Arts.

Using Ysaar with an opponent backed into the corner proved to be such an optimal choice that it kicked off a trend of banking and using the SA gauge solely for that.

With this round of adjustments we’ve lowered the SA gauge gains while Ysaar is active. In exchange though it’s now possible to cancel into Super Arts from Run’s branch moves, and you can also now cancel into Altair from Light Eagle Spike, a move that was always easy to work into combos but should now really shine with this more decisive combo finishing option. Hopefully these changes will give Rashid players a more varied range of outlets for using the Super Art gauge.

One potential highlight is that with Backup now able to combo mid-air opponents more easily, Super Rashid Kick, which can deliver uneven results depending on the distance between Rashid and the opponent, can now be turned to as a follow up attack. The extra opportunity for a sure-fire hit with the Super should lead to it being put to use far more often. Also, considering that the timing at which you wind up on the other side of your opponent when using Backup can be hard to pinpoint, we’ve made it so that the command motion for the SA cancel will always be based on the side Rashid was on at the start of the attack.

Ryu

Continuing from his last adjustment, we have continued to make adjustments to Ryu in order to bring out his individuality and allow him to create unique developments in fights.

While his ability to keep on the offensive hasn’t changed greatly, with the changes to his Hadoken and Denjin Charge, he’s now a character that has different strengths compared to Ken and Luke. The last battle adjustment reduced the hurtbox around his hands during his Hadoken, with the universal adjustment to strengthen Drive Parry against projectiles, and taking into account that the hurtbox on his Hadoken still extends much further than other projectiles, we have tweaked his hit/hurtboxes overall.

With this adjustment, Ryu’s Hadoken is less likely to be stuffed by an opponent’s attack, and raises its dependability when it comes to zoning.

Zangief

In order to highlight Zangief’s heavyweight character, we’ve made adjustments to increase his pressure on individual attacks.

We’ve made adjustments to improve the usability of his attacks during the neutral game, and have also made big changes to how his moves affect the gauges for both him and his opponent, which will put him in a better position even if his attacks are blocked.

Additionally, when his attacks do strike true, we’ve increased the ways he can pile on the damage so that he can make the best of the few chances he gets in a fight.

While using Modern controls, there were issues where his normal attacks and Assisted Combos shared the same attack, and some of his Assisted Combos were difficult to use, so we’ve retweaked those areas.

Due to this Zangief won’t be able to rapid cancel his Standing Light Punches, but we believe his Standing Light Kick is now going to be an important part of his gameplan.
