Capcom announced a new update for the popular fighting game Street Fighter 6. The update, which will be released in early December, will include changes to all characters in the game.
Street Fighter 6has managed to win the appreciation of fighting game lovers since its release in 2023. The game’s rich cast of characters, impressive graphics and immersive gameplay keep players glued to the screen for hours. However, as in every game, it is observed that some characters are more dominant than others in Street Fighter 6. This is what Capcom will do balance updatecomes into play at this point.
Street Fighter December 6 Update Will Be Comprehensive
According to the official statement made by Capcom, every character in Street Fighter 6 will be affected by this balance patch. All fighters, including M. Bison and Terry Bogard, added to the game in Season 2, are updated with various adjustments. This means that players may encounter some changes when fighting with their favorite characters.
But there is no need to worry. Capcom stated that this update will not be as comprehensive as the balance patch previously released with Akuma. In other words, we should not expect radical changes in the basic mechanics and play styles of the characters. However, some characters may be strengthened or weakened, albeit with slight touches.
There are some characters that have attracted attention recently with their strong performances, especially in the Capcom Pro Tour and Capcom Cup qualifiers. Chief among these are M. Bison, Ken, Cammy and Ed. These fighters are considered “nerf” candidates because they have such dominant play in tournaments. So there’s a good chance their power will be reduced a bit.
In addition, it is thought that other characters such as Zangief, Rashid and even Akuma may have entered Capcom’s radar. On the other hand, fighters such as Jamie, Marisa, Kimberly, Lily and E. Honda are thought to need improvements. It is observed that Capcom is having some difficulty in maintaining balance, especially regarding the newly added characters to the game.
Street Fighter 6 players will encounter an exciting update in early December. This balance patch will revitalize the competitive environment of the game and allow every character to fight on equal terms. While Capcom’s decisions are eagerly awaited, players can’t wait to experience the changes in their favorite fighters. Street Fighter 6 will continue to strengthen its place among fighting games with these updates.
