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

[@HelveticaStandard]

Great stuff as usual from Mr. Biffotasty

[@mariotaz]

Wow. That name haha

[@KejutoJetomo]

What a blast back to the past.

[@HeavyGee84]

Seriously. Fucking awesome

[@SuperBiggyboy]

I can't believe you said his government name like that

[@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.

[@JohnD131]

Glad to see Dhalsim getting some help.

[@Rolfhn]

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

[@Tojifgc]

Not to hurt your feelings or anything but not one person care about dhalsim

[@Rolfhn]

@@Tojifgc Dhalsim has the best winning percentage in Master Rank.

[@bruhm0ment6000]

​@@Tojifgc Dhalsim is like diamond buried in dirt. Him and Chun Li requires crazy commitment for them to be top 8

[@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

[@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)

[@NinF37]

Actual dhalsim buffs? Color me happily surprised!

[@classyspirit]

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

[@QuietStyleGaming]

Filipino champ finna be in heaven with the new dalshim

[@MPdub]

Beast track! 🎵

[@adamhart2020]

What track are these from?

[@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.

[@Cyno7]

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

[@Kasai_AU]

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

[@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

[@xave_yt]

No Manon changes?

[@shapular]

They changed one assisted combo on Modern.

[@OhNoTheFace]

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

[@Nebulas_World]

​@@OhNoTheFace"nerfing gief" with one nerf and one buff. Aha

[@goldsage4722]

​@OhNoTheFace literally only grappler players want grapplers to be strong

[@xave_yt]

@@goldsage4722 ? Just asking for Manon buffs because she is dead ass the worst character in the entire game with no one even coming close, just look at frame data along

[@JohnDoe42069]

Thanks for the breakdown

Might just as well delete that wasted character slot.

[@DontKnowDontCare6.9]

Boring as hell character. Made so Capcom can cash in the DEI credits.

[@goldsage4722]

​@DontKnowDontCare6.9 ah yes one of the only game series that has literally always included characters of all sorts of variety and aren't just now doing it out of fear are totally getting them dei credits. Get off social media bro you clearly need a break

[@jilalcocaine]

@@DontKnowDontCare6.9lol. It’s like you’ve never played a SF game saying something like that.

[@MrSwerdna]

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

[@davidacostado3329]

What's the song playing in the background?

[@Bloo_Frost]

Same boat here! I’m loving the jam but I need the name!

[@Fryman217]

Dan infinite music

[@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!

[@gregorymirabella1423]

i doubt i'm gonna notice any of this in game since i can barely comprehend how to do special moves, let alone use all of this crazy frame stuff.

[@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

[@0utrunner237]

Hearing his theme just makes me want him on this roster even more. We await your return, warrior.

[@Saikyokugen]

Saikyo. 👺

[@peepeeduck]

Great video as usual and the comparison rlly helps!

[@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

[@Zel-Veraan]

@@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.

[@adamdagrape544]

Just some Clips for myself :) Dhalsim Combo 1 0:00 Dhalsim Combo 2 0:27 Dee Jay Combo 1 1:27

[@shiryu22]

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

[@-ninjanOodlez]

How you're still not hired by capcom after all these years and everything that you do for them, I'll never understand.

[@DontKnowDontCare6.9]

Desk doesn't like to hang around with Crapcom America's wokie staff.

[@Jomijan]

The new damage scaling on Gief headbutt is heinous.

[@Eternal_Champion]

Just downright criminal, especially after also killing his knee hammer. Like the man didn't have certain hard MU's already ffs.

[@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

[@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.

[@Poltergus]

Nerfing Zangief's knee is definitely a choice

[@Sharky_0456]

i mean its the same on hit so its not that bad if your opponent blocks now go into his hands target combo or wait for your opponent to jump and borscht dynamite

[@Zel-Veraan]

​@@Sharky_0456 It's -4 on block now, which, if memory serves, is punishable.

[@user-tzzglsstle585e38]

Desk prefers to keep his integrity, rather than hang out with Crapcom's western woketard staff.

[@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

[@SukiminYakumo]

Huh, if dhalsim SA1 does grey damage, it can chip out, right?

[@thisismybassgun]

Half of desk comments are commenting on what a god he is, or how cool the changes are; the other half are people showing their complete ass 😂

[@somethindarker]

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

[@CaioSantos_p15]

Luke's 4x c.lp doesnt work on all chars (if I'm not mistaken)

[@theeverydayalpha]

This game has come a long way since Vanilla. Enjoying the progression

[@Mika-sm7or]

buffing dj, luke and jp, but not buffing jamie is criminal asf

[@WhentheBehelitScreams]

This might end up being the most balanced SF.

[@goldsage4722]

Thanks desk i really didnt wanna listen to that one guy speak

[@duxnihilo]

Love the Danfinite soundtrack.

[@Aware_Wolf_X4]

Hot damn, thank you for this.

[@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.

One buff to bomb I think

[@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.

[@OhNoTheFace]

Nerfing Gief, how expected and sad of japan. Especially while rebuffing JP and Deejay and ignoring all low tiers like Manon and Lily. They are pretty daft huh?

[@thisismybassgun]

What's your experience with balance scaling for a twenty plus character fighting game, that includes universal defense and offense mechanics for each character?

[@LakeEarth]

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

[@CrimzonWolf777]

JP got more combo potential but still gets no proper AA

[@ChernDown4Wut]

His crHP has been restored to a totally usable state

[@ImJohnnyMajor]

All this while Kimberly get a bit more damage on her spray can setup. But I guess something is better than nothing 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@IISADHD]

I think gief lost some hitbox on his lv1 super :( Or it's not active as soon. Missed 2 that I thought would land yesterday

[@bobbob-vw4cc]

that Gief nerf on the knee hop is bs.. he's already in Tier "Why Am I here" and now in "Remove only" Tier.

@@cosmic5665 he's still bottom tier. And a mobility move that cashes in on safe light attack damage would be a massive help. And it's not like SF or a bunch of fighting games haven't added moves in patches before
