The complete visual guide to Street Fighter 6’s balance patch

[@QueyBan]

this is the best patch vid ive seen. No crazy THIS BUFF or NERFED!!!. just clinical and visual here it is with such practical examples, thank you!

[@jpVari]

I mean... He said buff and nerf. Because some things are buffed and nerfed. This video is fantastic but there are others like it.

[@N1ghtslash_]

Showing off the entire patch in under 30 mins is a big W. Good stuff brian

[@Hersi310]

Dropping something this detailed less than a week after the patch with video examples of changes in context, fully narrated and with a document of more clips in description is genuinely really fucking impressive.

[@PhiDX]

Amazing guide, this seems like an incredible amount of work and it came out beautifully What do I do without Cammy crMP 😭😭😭

[@masterofdoom5000]

Precise and WITH explanation of their effect on the characters abilities? This is some excellent work Brine and community

[@BasicallyGoblin]

One of the biggest implications of the Jamie drink buff is that OD Kick rekka is now a meter efficient ombo ender that gives a drink, refunds some of its own cost, and still leaves you plus. OD palm > sweep is even better now, since even tho sweep's drink only restores 0.25 drive bar, the sweep and TC still build back meter.

[@Okayzeme]

Good video as always Brian! Tho did want to mention its forward taunt, not back taunt at 14:40 to activate Sirn Bison.

[@Hiswf_]

I love these hidden "characters". I will now always try to make a Shin akuma or Bison ditto

[@shibabble8]

Glad you took the time for this, not every player (I'm definetly not in this category) can really discern how patch notes can affect every character and you've done a great job showcasing how this impacted the game. Great job!

Bonjour, thank you for putting my Manon combo in this video, it was a great watch from beginning to end !

[@bustinmayo6595]

I gotta say this might be one of your best videos! Super thorough and it really helped me grasp the full scale of some of these changes, I also really appreciated you using the community's tweets and crediting them accordingly. Overall fantastic video, also when you're scripted like this you kinda sound like Core-A gaming in some bits lol, not that im complaining.

[@frangeek90]

Hands down the best video showcasing the changes for this patch. Pretty short (considering the amount of changes) and pretty easy to understand and follow.

[@ptiger15]

for 25:55 I mainly used killrush back to bait wakeup DI's. For example, I would score a knockdown with heavy blitz then charge medium tendril into a three way scenario: 1. kill rush back to avoid DI leading to PC. 2. kill rush forward to PC grab those attempting to parry it. 3. let tendril fly to those who respect it. That is the best thing I found so far after the patch.

[@hildaibuyan4161]

For Jamie, if you press all buttons simultaneously, he'll throw his gourd and will do meterless Raging Demon when it connects which makes him S+++++ tier

Love this approach, trying something new (or that I haven't seen from you before) and it works really well.

[@Plasmafenix]

Correction for the Marisa portion only Charge Stand Heavy Punch, Stand Heavy Kick, Down Forward Heavy Punch and Crouching Heavy Kick are 3 frames faster. The rest of her charge heavies frame data are unchanged.

[@dekuskrub2154]

Charge back fierce (20f startup) is still 1 FUCKING FRAME away from being able to connect with a deep-as-possible PC jump HK (+19).

[@Anakele20]

This is a very enjoyable video. Props for giving credit where it is due.

[@tilianOP]

Note on Marisa Style changes, its not all charge heavies. Just the no directional ones and overhead so stHP, stHK, and dfHP charge faster. dHP, fHK, and bHP all charge at the same speed

[@Jazztral]

YES! I always kinda wanted DeeJay's Sway Medium to have more combos!

Great guide, Brian. Thank you for the breakdown.

[@itsmesteve1081]

I don't play anybody else except ryu, but I am glad to see some low tier characters get buffed. Now hopefully there is a little more variety when I hop online. Plus, it will feel like im actually an actual game instead of just waiting for Kimberly to Teleport or Ed or end his pressure. Some characters just felt so gimmicky, like Kimberly. While others felt like they completely dictated the whole flow of the match, like Ed.

[@Matt-nn1ni]

Great video Brian. I'm sad about the Ed changes, but I got a buffed Terry now and I think even before the patch my Terry was better anyways.

[@foberdud7576]

@15:20 it’s a shame Cammy has to give up such a cool looking move for balance but I understand why they did it.

[@YetAnotherSpyMain]

This is why Brian is the GOAT

Thank you so much for this video, Brian. I only understood it ALL when you put out this video. 😊

[@hamptonwooster]

Okay but it’s kinda wild that your video is like 1/4 the length of roofle’s and somehow includes way more. Roofle completely omitted some changes that should’ve been included. I think he just wanted to get it out first

[@user-et3xn2jm1u]

Great video, and even a "tier list" included (fwiw I think you're underselling the Ken nerfs and Chun buffs, and overselling the Manon and Juri buffs) Hard to argue they made Ryu cracked out now. H Donkey Kick to Master rank

[@Tassadar4Ever]

This is an incredible video!!

[@evilded2]

Very well put together.

[@WistfulVee]

BANGER VIDEO! THANK YOU

[@sup3760]

awesome video brian

[@ryo-kai8587]

Happy about no nerfs for Juri again, and the new 2HP juggles seem cool, but I wonder how it will stack up to some of the other characters' buffs that are more significant?

[@luluehayes]

Brian the GOAT

[@OG_Fireflare]

Amazing video!

[@geoffreytasker2097]

Couple things: one, the non important thing. Vagabond edge is a chop, not an elbow. The end animation just makes it look like an elbow. Two. No one is talking about this but you can manually time Stand fierce> stand roundhouse> stand fierce on Punish Counter meaning kimberly can punish ex DPs WAY harder than she used to.

[@Egzvorg]

that combo requires 2 (or 3)fr window microwalk

[@geoffreytasker2097]

@Egzvorg it doesn't. If you time the hk to land at the end of the spin state the second hp hits without a micro walk

[@dectilon]

When the dust settles I wouldn't be surprised if they revert the backstep change to kill rush.

[@casbalt7763]

25:02 man ryu is improving faster than i am. My main is gonna leave me in the dust lol

[@dommafia]

godlike video Bry!

[@illiciousD]

Commenting for the algorithm Great video, very well made

[@Asterra2]

Those Cammy nerfs... haha. It's really rare to see a character drop a whole tier just from one patch, let alone something that the dev has labeled a "small" patch. But yeah, all Cammy has is her speed and they made sure to take that away from her best button and turn that button into something too hazardous to use for neutral anymore. They can't change the character's moveset so the only thing they can do to balance things is give her more damage, to bring her slightly more in line with other characters who ONLY have neutral and no projectiles. Which they haven't done yet. Surprisingly, Punk seems primed to do what needs to be done and investigate other characters, starting with Kimberly.

[@manuelito1233]

Adapt or die. Punk, a professional, chose to adapt.

[@OddSauce]

[@lukeblaker8009]

Me when I'm in a being carried competition and my opponent is a cammy player 💀

[@akaanoone6939]

During Jamie's portion I'm confused and am not sure if it's an error but he says the jHk needed drive rush enhancement before the patch to juggle

[@LordXathras]

Drive rush tends to allow extra juggling, and Jamie's drive rush launcher kick (down+2 kicks) allowed for jHk to juggle. Normal launcher kick on a grounded opponent doesn't allow for juggling with jHk (only jMp). Launcher kick as an anti air sometimes allows for jHk to juggle, but not consistently.

[@anonymous-sf3ul]

as a ryu many im happy with this

[@apocalypticsquirrel]

Fantastic resource - thank you!

[@astjuly8239]

I guess that jump cancel nerf was kinda sad for the game state. But, let's see the result afterw

[@itsTronBonne]

Finally it pays off to be a loyal boomer Ryu player.

[@HeDronHeDronHedron]

And yet again, gief is completely murdered. No anti air combo into level 3. No crossup hitting antiair. SPD is not invincible like DP. Basically required to rely on grabs.

[@ArafiRD]

the nerfs on ed were to hard compared to the others. almost feels like unfair.

[@Carbinatedfartt]

Yeah I agree and I hate fighting ed

[@itsZandr]

The buttons nerfs were fair especially 'cause cr.lk was ridiculous. But the back kill rush nerf is whack. There is no interaction anymore.

[@evilded2]

The character is very highly rated especially in Japan.

[@sarahvgc4513]

Wonderful work! ty for this video~!

[@1000Tomatoes]

I honestly think the Ed changes where more for lower levels where Ed can zone almost as effectively as JP and Sim but still has a lot of the tools usually kept from zoners that makes him good even when you get close making him more frustrating than zoners normally are. Though there was probably a better way of balancing for different levels of play. DI always being the answer is kinda boring even if before di being too risky to go for made Ed feel like he could get away with a bunch others would have had to risk di for.

[@MB-ui4ec]

good work has to be appreciated ☯

[@mgc9965]

Thank you Sajam

[@Akkbar21]

Good info. Ty! 🔥

[@Neverfate]

Thanks for the breakdown, Brian. Ed got hit hard. Poor boy. I'll still stick with him since I still think he's really fun to play, but I'm also pretty casual player.

[@Piespys]

i like these changes apart from zangif nerfs

[@evilded2]

8:10 why does it go down initially?

[@BrainGeniusEditor]

It looks like it because of the diagonal line, but it's actually the same! I thought the saame thing, but levels 1 and 2 are the same, 3 and 4 are the same, and 5 is alone.

[@Kuroppey]

What do you mean have the patch sooner? There was a crapton of tourneys offline and online these past 2 months

"With the recent patch notes, Ryu has escalated from C tier to C+ "

[@SpiteHook09]

Stop capping. Dude gets buffed every patch.

[@itsmesteve1081]

​@@SpiteHook09 that's what everybody says every time he gets one of those buffs. Yet he's still mid tier after the dust settles. It's not gonna be that much different this time around either. In a vacuum, his buffs may seem cool. But in reality it's just a slight damage buff.

Yes I'm aware, we worked non stop every day from the patch release to get this as condensed, clear, and information dense as possible, so that all the changes are presented in a digestible fashion. Takes much longer than doing it live on stream, and results in a much more streamlined video.
