SF6 New Battle Balance Update [Side by Side comparison]

[@deskcombo]

Check out my band, Project Dolphin. We're making a lot of new videos and here is the latest one. Pao Pao Cafe Guitar Jam! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXWxZ4SZZc53j9U

[@erikiri]

I wish devs would make videos like this alongside patch notes, it really helps to see the difference yourself. Awesome vid!

[@scottshaw-ip9tp]

Would put desk out of a job plus I'm sure he enjoys making these

[@cageman301]

It's odd because they used to make these for USF4 (granted they didn't always cover everything)

[@gavinpowell4607]

@@cageman301 Not odd at all. just use your brain. "ok we spent time and money to put this video out" ** Capcom sees KZbinrs doing same thing with no cost to Capcom "ok we don't need to do these"

[@cageman301]

@@gavinpowell4607 Think of it this way. Why have KZbinrs potentially frame changes in a negative light when they can do it themselves and look better for it? It doesn't matter if KZbinrs will scratch their heads at Capcom's changes, the important part is that they make their stance clear through their own videos so that they can at least say they tried. Which is what I assume they're trying to do with patch notes.

[@BekTrain]

Great idea on using different costumes on the dummy to help visualize the old and new changes. The detail and care you put into your videos is why we love you Desk.

[@HelveticaStandard]

Great stuff as usual from Mr. Biffotasty

[@mariotaz]

Wow. That name haha

Actual dhalsim buffs? Color me happily surprised!

[@DragonflySwamp]

Luke and JP: Capcom, we are UNPLAYABLE mid tiers since the nerfs. Buff us! Capcom: Okay. Please forgive me. Lily, Honda, Manon, Jamie: Hey, can we get some of that? Capcom: LOL no.

[@Cyno7]

Really like this patch comparison series. Been consistent in the game for over a decade.

[@JohnD131]

Glad to see Dhalsim getting some help.

[@Rolfhn]

This is nice, but Dlashim was already very OP!! (Zangief main here

[@Tojifgc]

[@user-tzzglsstle585e38]

@@Rolfhn Because very few players play Dhalsim and those very few players are specialist as well, no wonder he would have the "best winning percentage" when there's like 6 people that plays him lol

[@krazybobby9633]

It would have been nice to have the scissors hitbox size and headbutt damage nerfs mentioned, but otherwise incredible video! It's hard to understand the impact of some of the changes (especially the super meter gain) and new combo routes without seeing them in practice, so these videos are always super helpful.

with the riff finally came in at 3:50, it was so satisfying. great build up and great comparison vid

[@carwhizkid]

Will never get tired of the music

[@SMD_N_LMB]

Or the content.

[@awesomereviews1561]

Zangief’s combo damage has been nerfed if you start a combo with the headbutt

[@LakeEarth]

And not a little either, combos are doing 600-800 less damage now

[@classyspirit]

Nice showcase! It's missing the change to Ed's jHK though! (Unless of course that's a combo video for later, hahaha)

[@baconbuster9651]

seeing the effects of the changes side-by-side was really nice, both in the small interactions and the long combos used as “here’s what you can do now!” showcases, very well put together

[@MrSwerdna]

Capcom should be paying Desk to make these videos, so much clearer than a wall of text.

[@Kasai_AU]

Thanks for covering the psycho mine change. Sad to see the combos go though :( 2:33

[@gavinpowell4607]

Fuck that stupid combo.

[@peepeeduck]

Great video as usual and the comparison rlly helps!

[@JohnDoe42069]

Thanks for the breakdown

[@RanserSSF4]

The dhalsim buffs are interesting, but can we talk about how his SA1 did the same drive gauge damage like it does on hit because they changed it to deal white damage when blocked? That seems kind of crazy in pressure scenarios combined with it being safer

[@gulg5068]

your ability to cover so much in so little time is amazing

[@dsnake10]

That Dan Infinite song never gets old.

[@shinime8885]

0:58 another (and frankly more important) change that wasn't highlighted with sim's lvl 1, it now deals SIGNIFICANTLY more drive damage on block, twice as much I'm pretty sure. Now ofc even with that and the grey health, getting a super blocked has a very solid chance of loosing you the round, but both those things at least make a comeback slightly more plausible

[@thisismybassgun]

This is the best compromise we'll get, without them making it an invincible LVL 1, so I'll take it!

[@gavinpowell4607]

Just make his limbs not punishable from across the screen. Half the time it looks like the opponent just punches the air on their side of screen and Dhalsim falls down.

[@thisismybassgun]

@@gavinpowell4607 that's on the dhalsim player. He'd be too strong if you couldn't punish his normals.

[@shinime8885]

@@gavinpowell4607 that would just be too much, whiff punishing sim's limbs is exactly how you're supposed to play the matchup if you're not playing a zoner yourself, sim's limbs are not disjointed on purpose, it's up to the sim player not to flail around aimlessly

[@Jairstronaut]

Make this a series it's so helpful!! I subbed

He also got a buff on taller characters. I do forget the combo but FChamp found it day of patch

Nice Breakdown

[@NekoValtz]

Ah so cammy was untouched? I'm still championing for her H spin knuckle to go back to how it was.

[@littoy]

Of course they buffed Luke.

[@Zel-Veraan]

He needed it.

[@DontKnowDontCare6.9]

Luke is the type of character that needs Ryu to carry him on the latter's shoulders. Cause he cant stand up as the main protag.

[@Zel-Veraan]

@@DontKnowDontCare6.9 I STRONGLY disagree. Luke is the most relatable character this series has ever seen.

[@goldsage4722]

​@Zel-Veraan people that hate luke aren't gonna stop hating luke because every single one of them is either a toddler who can't accept change without whining about it nonstop for at least 2 years or they still have a bad taste in their mouth from how luke was in sf5

@@goldsage4722 you're right about that. I like his character and what Aleks Le has done with him. And for a new generation of Street Fighter players, he's a great mascot.

[@simadamlynnto22]

They want dhalsim to get top tier cuz he's the last top this season

[@goldsage4722]

If they wanted him to be top tier they would've buffed him way more then they did. They definitely don't want him at the top of the game because of how many people complained about dhalsim in sf5

[@FighterzTv]

Sounds very streets of rage 2 . Love it.

[@Yajeeb]

So basically they added more juggling possibilities

[@xave_yt]

No Manon changes?

[@shapular]

They changed one assisted combo on Modern.

Actually helping low tiers? Ha no. They are busy nerfing Gief and buffing mid and high tiers

No Jamie?!?!?!

[@somethindarker]

Is Sim really that starved for damage to waste all that metere and do all that just for 1/3 damage?

[@acglass]

Extending the reach of the OD Yoga Flame does nothing for my game play. How about extending the reach of the Level 3 after the OD Yoga Flame so I can connect in more scenarios. And honestly, who cares about SA1 causing grey damage? Who out there isn’t comboing into it in the first place? Db+HP on air opponents is nice though.

[@joji_tek]

He can connect sa3 with od yoga flame now thanks to the previous patch to level 3 and the new od yoga flame. Gray health on level 1 is also good on keeping up pressure and making checkmate scenarios.

[@ksfallenangel5770]

was anybody calling for Zangiefs forward medium kick(knee move) to be nerfed? and on that note was anybody saying giefs forward Heavy punch(head butt) to be buffed? seems like an unnecessary character change

[@ExtremeZero]

Gief's headbutt was more nerfed then buffed due to the damage scaling being a lot more worse for gief to use in succession.

[@rafdes]

Knee was practically safe every time so it was easy to spam it. Now you need to space it better to make it safe. Headbutt is actually nerfed. Damage scaling in combos is 25%. They made the change so down medium punch connected because Hell Stab was easy to miss when converting to level 2.

[@OhNoTheFace]

@@rafdes Yeah, there are totally not a bunch of high tiers with safe moves. But sure, that knee was so bad D:

[@Zel-Veraan]

​@@OhNoTheFace considering it gave Gief a true 50/50 mix situation for free, from which you can instantly lose half your health, I'd yes, this change is valid.

[@DANCERcow]

Oh no a fifty fifty mix up that many characters have in this game! Oh the horror

Dhalsim - Elaborate new combo Deejay - Elaborate new combo JP - Elaborate new combo Zangief - uhhh... you can do all the same combos but with crMP instead of hellstab (for 100 less damage)

[@goldsage4722]

Crmp goes significantly farther than the stab it'll definitely create at least 1 new route
