  • Street Fighter 6 has been out for six months - and NOTHING has changed!! Or has it? Let's examine Capcom's new character usage records, and reminisce on the days of Manon, Honda, and so few JPs.

      I feel like Capcom has been on a 10 year quest to see how bad they can make Gief before his fans finally lose loyalty.
      Remove greenhand, nerf spd startup, nerf spd recovery, nerf spd invincibility, nerf all oki, nerf bear grab, nerf air grab, remove combo into super, nerf air headbutt stun, nerf lariat cross up hitbox, remove quick lariat, increase hp hurtbox, add useless tundra storm, add vshift. Its absurd for one character to be nerfed so hard, but we still loyal.

    The reason Luke was so low in the beginning is because alot of people had already played enough luke from the betas/demo and everyone wanted to try the newer options.
    As the game life continued and people got to explore the other characters, they ended up gravitating back to luke like "Wait a minute, Luke was just better!"

    I think something big that happened is batch of players being influenced by big streamers on the up and up. I know there were a lot of people who learned how to play characters at high levels to support their favorite Vtubers. A lot of the content creators also chose characters that were great in Modern, and Luke is at the top of that tier list, meanwhile, for content creator picks, JP is close to the bottom because of how unusual he is. The one popular content creator that had a powerful JP, Sasatikk, dropped him for Jaime, lol
    Also, for sure people choose Ken because he has a dope ass design and it just so happens that he's also very strong.

    @xxfloppypillowxx Před 8 měsíci +5

    I 100% think it's the latter situation where it's people are getting stuck on certain characters. I have something like 1400-1500 games as Jamie and have been stuck in gold the closest I ever got to plat was being 1 game off but then I dropped a bunch of games. Meanwhile I have Guile, Rashid, Dhalsim, Lily, Zangief and maybe a few others at Platinum and I probably don't have 1000 games with all of those characters combined. Some characters are able to get higher ranks just because lower ranks struggle against that character. If you play Modern Gief you can get to platinum extremely easily just by using SPD and Level 3. Once you get there then people actually know how to play against that and you'll have to incorporate other moves. Guile all you need to do to get to plat is be willing to spam sonic booms and flash kicks because before plat struggle to walk down projectile spam and will jump to try to get over projectiles which you then flash kick and they're back at full screen. Dhalsim is much of the same where once you learn to fill up the screen with projectiles and limbs a high amount of players before plat just completely crumble under. Modern Lily is easy as long as your opponent doesn't realize they can drive impact your heavy assist combo which gets you a stock then either combo into or throw out raw EX or non condor spire and if it's blocked follow it up with EX Command Grab which will leave you at a distance that allows you to get another stock and rinse and repeat, if they get wise and start jumping the grab then you can DP them which again gives you time to get another stock. Characters that don't really have a way to "cheese" their way to plat art going to end up getting stuck in that lower category. While there are a few gimmicks you can pull off with characters like Jamie most of it is extremely unsafe so you need to actually fundamentally play well to break into those "higher" ranks. I also feel like there will be the opposite that holds true too though, like bad players who are bad and they think that playing top tier characters will be able to get them to a higher rank, that's gotta be why Luke is such a popular character, I cannot imagine that it's because of his design he is such a bland character. Anyways I should stop rambling now, love you, goodbye! xoxo

For as much as people say the meta is constantly changing and new tech is always being found it hasnt changed the fact that with so many people playing we can reach the meta consensus so much quicker.

    Ngl kinda glad that my boi Luke has risen in the usage rankings, I remember specifically that he was consider low tier before the game was released but after a while players are slowly gradually gotten better with him overtime. Granted is not the same numbers as how Ken is doing but is still high up next to Ryu overall. I'm sure that when ever time has pass and other dlc characters like Akuma comes out he will slowly decline for how popular and brain dead broken he will be.

Once I learned the JP match up and realized he’s -2 on pierce and my fwd dash is faster than he can recover I can bum rush him with back fist and get in on offense. For any guile mains out here take note. JP IS -2 ON BLOCKED PIERCE EXEPT OD PIERCE. Use your superior mid range boom pokes and bum rush him to the corner. You’ll win 90% of the time.

Like, what's the point here, they're not even saying it's because he's too strong just that he's so popular that you run into him constantly. He just has a lot of good tools that are more accessible where other characters similar in strength usually need better fundamentals to access theirs. If Ken as a character exposes "how many scrubs infest the game", maybe that's because Ken on an entry-level has stronger pressure tools which means you have more stuff to look out for on defense against him, giving you a higher mental stack than the Ken has to deal with. Jinrai, dragonlash, j-HP, st-hp, cr-mk. If the Ken player then goes "damn, I'm just better, these players are all scrubs", that's like Dhalsim players going "but my neuch is sick tho".

But at that point, we had so many fast rushdown-y characters that trying to re-learn charge in an environment like that is just a recipe for disaster. Even more so with SF6 where when I last played was before they added the shortcut for drive rush cancels so it just felt so infuriatingly awkward trying to hold a charge but also want to double-tap forward to DR cancel.

    i picked up a side JP once I had a more solid foundation and understanding of the game and spent some hours practicing setups and frame data because when I first picked up the character I was overwhelmed by how much stuff you have to learn.

      I just think it's more that she's simple without being straightforward, and she also lacks the immediate neuron activation that other newcomers like Marisa and Manon provides. Like, she's a 2-step character that uses plus frames to start her strike/throw offense. For complete beginners that's absolutely gibberish, and more experienced players will notice her slower movement speed, stubby lights, slow buttons, and less layered gameplan. All these combined effectively make her a niche character regardless of where her strength is I think.
