Who is on the Street Fighter 6 tier list?\u00a0<\/strong>If you want to win, you need to pick a top-tier fighter. Character loyalty is cute, but it won\u2019t get you anywhere. The fact of the matter is that if your goal is to win games of Street Fighter 6, you\u00a0should pick and learn an S-tier character.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve spent dozens of hours with Street Fighter 6\u00a0 \u2013 something you can read more about in our\u00a0review\u00a0\u2013 putting all 18 members of the\u00a0Street Fighter 6\u00a0roster\u00a0to the test to bring you the definitive list of the best SF6 characters<\/strong> to grace Capcom\u2019s\u00a0fighting game. Naturally, this will be an ever-evolving\u00a0SF6 tier list<\/strong>\u00a0as any potential updates arrive.<\/p>\n

Street Fighter 6 tier list<\/h2>\n

Here is the latest Street Fighter 6 tier list for June:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tier<\/strong><\/td>\n	Characters<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
S<\/td>\n	Ken, Guile<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

C<\/td>\n	Chun-Li. Juri<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n We\u2019re still testing the game after many hours of play to collect more data and refine our SF6 tier list even further.<\/p>\n S-tier<\/h3>\n Based on our hours of experience with the game, we can confidently say that these are the best Street Fighter characters right now.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Ken<\/h4>\n Ken is going to be one of the most popular characters in-game because\u00a0of his\u00a0aggressive move-set. This latest version of Ken retains his run mechanic from Street Fighter 5 while providing more options to his close-range toolset to make him unpredictable up close. Ken is at his most powerful when he gets his opponent into the corner, and that comes naturally to him as his special moves travel surprisingly far. Give our Street Fighter 6 Ken guide a read to learn more about his powerful rush-down abilities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Guile<\/h4>\n It\u2019s very difficult to know what to do against an experienced Guile player as it can feel like he has an answer to every move you make. Guile\u2019s Sonic Booms have never been better thanks to the introduction of the \u2018Perfect\u2019 mechanic, making his charge moves stronger when timed correctly. While every character has the ability to parry moves, Guile can simply control the speed of his projectiles to throw off your opponent\u2019s timing. His basic combos can deal devastating damage in an instant, and his advanced combos can last ages before ending in a super art. The perfect character for both beginners and experts, read our Street Fighter 6 Guile guide to learn about his deadly moves.<\/p>\n A-tier<\/h3>\n The characters you see in A-tier have the potential to compete against the world\u2019s best fighters, but they may be lacking that special X-factor to take them to the next level.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Luke<\/h4>\n He may not be the most complex character on the roster, but Luke has everything he needs to become a dominant force in the meta. Luke can apply a lot of pressure using his strong normal attacks from a distance, then you can follow up with special attacks or a super art to deal lots of damage. His position on this list could be in danger as time goes on, but \u2013 for now \u2013 he\u2019s an early favorite Luke players will be very powerful at launch, but we expect this to taper off as more people get their hands on the game. Give our Street Fighter 6 Luke guide a read to learn some basic combos.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kimberly<\/h4>\n Kimberly is a difficult character to evaluate as she can be annoying to predict, though this might change when the full game releases as her gimmicky setups can be countered in training mode. Similarly to Ken, once she gets her opponent into the corner, she can control the game using her spray can bomb setups to apply pressure. What makes us hesitant about putting Kimberly in the top tier is that her tactics may not work at launch once players learn exactly how her moves work. That said, if you can vary up her attacks, you can utilize our Street Fighter 6 Kimberly guide to crush your enemies.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n JP<\/h4>\n As one of the few true zoners in Street Fighter 6, JP has a distinct advantage when fighting from afar. He\u2019s able to fling out psycho power with simple inputs and knock away those who get a bit too close for comfort, so it can be very difficult for the bulk of the roster to get in close. From our time with the character, we reckon he could reach the upper echelons, as his play style is unique and harder to deal with for the rest of the roster.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Marisa<\/h4>\n Of all the\u00a0newcomers in Street Fighter 6 that impressed us, Marisa has\u00a0the most fun game plan. Many of her moves come with a stack of armor, which means it\u2019s harder to interrupt with counter moves. She may not be the fastest fighter on the roster, but her armored punches cause hard knockdowns in the corner more often than not. This means Marisa can pile on the pressure with long-reaching normals and decent combo potential.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cammy<\/h4>\n It\u2019ll please those who like Cammy\u2019s rush-down strategy\u00a0to know she has the same game plan. She\u2019s combo-heavy and relies on juggles more than many of the roster, so practicing her combos is a must to get all the potential damage. As one of the fastest fighters, she can easily close in the distance, making her a handful if she ever gets the momentum. Her only slight weakness we\u2019ve seen is that her normals don\u2019t reach quite as far as some on the roster so she may get clipped with random pokes more often than not.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Manon<\/h4>\n Manon has the potential to be one of the best grapplers in the game, as her throws can easily wipe out a quarter of your opponent\u2019s health bar. This depends on the medal level, which increases every time she hits a grapple special move. If you can frequently bamboozle your opponent into getting thrown, she can be great. She also has great range with her kicks for pokes, but the only thing really keeping her from higher tiers is that her super arts\u00a0are a bit weak and many moves have long cooldowns, making her vulnerable to counter hits.<\/p>\n B-tier<\/h3>\n There\u2019s nothing like a strong B-tier character to lull your opponent into a false sense of security before you bring the hammer down. The characters in this category have their flaws, but a strong player can make up for them with tactical brilliance.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jamie<\/h4>\n Street Fighter\u2019s first drunken fist fighter and self-proclaimed protector of Chinatown, Jamie has been inspired by his cousins of Street Fighter 3 fame, Yun and Yang. As you can see in our Street Fighter 6 Jamie guide, his full potential is unlocked when you reach drink level four. This can be difficult to achieve against some characters as you either need a spare second to drink from your gourd or you need to land a clean combo. To make matters more difficult, Jamie loses his drink level after every round, forcing you to go through the motions once again. If you can consistently get Jamie drunk, he can be destructive in the right hands.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ryu<\/h4>\n Ryu\u2019s moves are mostly the same as they\u2019ve been for decades, but his moves in Street Fighter 6 are similar to Street Fighter III: Third Strike as he can use the High Blade Kick to knock foes away. He has also mastered the Denjin charge, giving both the Hadoken and Hashogeki electrical properties, making him surprisingly versatile. We think Ryu is the best he\u2019s ever been,\u00a0even Daigo, one of the top Street Fighter players of all time, agrees with us on this, but his game plan is a tad predictable.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dee Jay<\/h4>\n Dee Jay excels the most at mid-range, with access to projectiles and moves for close-quarter\u00a0fighting. He is primarily a charge character, so tougher for some players to learn, but he now has access to some decent moves that use more traditional inputs. If you can get close, his Overdrive Machine Gun Uppercut can deal tons of damage.\u00a0He\u2019s also one of the few characters with access to a taunt-like move that charges his super art bar, and these moves really pack a punch.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lily<\/h4>\n It\u2019s unclear if T. Hawk is her father or another immediate family member, but her fighting style incorporates similar dives and throws. She has the advantage of being a little faster and uses her war clubs as extensions of her arms to grab opponents from afar. She is more in tune with her wind spirit. As such, she can charge up\u00a0to three wind power stocks to buff certain moves, such as the Condor Dive and Tomahawk buster, which extends range, deals more hits, and, therefore, more overall damage.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Zangief<\/h4>\n As one of the slower fighters, Zangief historically has a tougher time getting in close to do what he does best: throw people. However, should he connect with any of his unique special throws, such as the iconic Spinning Piledriver, they will hurt your opponent\u00a0a lot<\/em>. Some of his moves have armor to help him get closer to the opponent, while others have great range. Landing his super arts could be tricky, especially as they are all either conditional or require some of the hardest inputs in the game, but if they land, your opponent will be reeling.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n E. Honda<\/h4>\n E. Honda\u2019s sumo wrestling style has always been a bit hit-and-miss, depending on the meta of each Street Fighter game he\u2019s appeared in.\u00a0He has beefy normals and a variety of special moves to push the opponent into the corner.\u00a0He also has access to a move to charge his Sumo Spirit, which enables him to do more damage with techniques such as the Hundred Hand Slap and cancel into moves that he otherwise wouldn\u2019t be able to.\u00a0You only need to worry about being predictable, as his moves have long cooldowns if he whiffs them. This can lead to unfavorable counter hits that could put him in a vulnerable position.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Blanka<\/h4>\n Blanka\u2019s\u00a0special moves revolve around spinning into opponents and electrocuting, just like he did in Street Fighter 2. He has good normals and the potential to execute juggle combos, but it\u2019s nothing we haven\u2019t seen before. In a way,\u00a0he\u2019s got enough techniques to be formidable at mid-range. However, his new moves aren\u2019t very good as they take too long to set up. His Blanka-Chan dolls require you to perform an input to throw them to the ground and<\/em> to be hit by an Electric Thunder or similar move to activate. This takes more time than it\u2019s worth unless you manage to get a hard knockdown on your opponent while at a full-screen distance, which is very difficult to do.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dhalsim<\/h4>\n Effectively using Dhalsim at long range is going to be tricky. While his normals are amazing regarding range and damage output, they are rather slow, so easily avoided. With the Drive Rush mechanic, he could get follow-ups that are just not possible in other Street Fighter games. On top of this, his fireballs can launch into the air or straight at the opponent, with Overdrive versions bouncing around. He can also hover and teleport to keep the opponent on their toes, but we get the feeling that his long-range game isn\u2019t quite as good as JPs.<\/p>\n C-tier<\/h3>\n Our C-tier list of Street Fighter 6 characters features those who either haven\u2019t come into their own yet or will take longer to learn before reaching their full potential. Certain characters like Chun-Li and Juri are complicated for even experienced players to get to grips with, let alone\u00a0straight away at launch.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chun-Li<\/h4>\n It\u2019s clear that even experienced Chun-Li players may struggle to get to grips with her. Chun-Li in Street Fighter 6 is one of the fastest characters in the game, and she has enough tools to approach fights both aggressively and defensively. The only problem is that her best combos can take a while to learn, so\u00a0it\u2019ll take a while to unlock her full potential.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Juri<\/h4>\n Good Juri players are hard to come by in Street Fighter 6, as her tricky tool set can be difficult to master, especially for new players. If you\u2019re an experienced player who can reliably create mix-ups to characters on wake up, we highly recommend checking her out, as Juri\u2019s lightning-fast moves can bamboozle other players. You aren\u2019t going to be able to deal heavy damage with these combos, but if you plan your attacks carefully, you should be able to land a second combo shortly afterward.<\/p>\n Who is the best Street Fighter 6 character?<\/h2>\n The best Street Fighter 6 character is Ken due to his aggressive move-set and mastery of up-close combat. The variety of his attacks and the range of his special moves make him a powerhouse SF6 fighter.<\/strong><\/p>\n That is the Street Fighter 6 tier list as it currently stands. When the Street Fighter 6 launch\u00a0finally rolls around, we\u2019ll round off the SF6 tier list with the rest of the roster. In the meantime,\u00a0why not learn more about Street Fighter 6 on Steam Deck and\u00a0if Street Fighter 6 Game Pass is a reality or not.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Who is on the Street Fighter 6 tier list?\u00a0If you want to win, you need to pick a top-tier fighter.
