Discussion I LOVE using E Honda !!
- Ryu Main
- Slowly getting the entire cast to Master Rank
- I reluctantly thought to myself "I should just get it over with and get E Honda out of the way......"
* Now E Honda might be my favorite character to use. He's a good balance between skill, degeneracy, and playful gimmicks.
* I never feel like I'm at a disadvantage against 90% of the cast when using E Honda aside from playing against Guile and Zangeif
* For some reason my skill set translates the best to E Honda and I have gotten my highest MR using him ( 1790 MR )

Help / Question Does anyone have any diamond Marisa tips? SF6
I am just back from a break after going on a losing streak a win away from master and man I can’t keep up. These grabs after every third input is cooking me and it feels like Marisa has AWFUL neutrals and don’t get me started on her “anti airs” I know her counter damage is insane but It feels like an uphill battle still. although I’m probably just a scrub, any tips? (P.S anyone who trains IRL is she a good fighter? I feel like a woman with this much of a size advantage should be better at reaching opponents)

Discussion An update from the 44-year-old SF6 beginner —135 tracked matches later, I'm still here!
Hey everyone!
A while ago, I posted here as a 44-year-old beginner wondering whether I should really give Street Fighter 6 a serious try.
A lot of you encouraged me to go for it, shared advice, and reminded me that age doesn't have to stop anyone from learning a fighting game.
Well... I listened. 😄
And I thought it was time for a little update.
I'm still playing Ryu, Classic Controls, and I've made it from Rookie to Bronze.
I've also started keeping proper records of my Ranked matches. Here are my current numbers:
135 tracked matches
- 67 wins
- 67 losses
- 1 draw
- 175 rounds won / 167 lost
Just to be clear, these are the matches I've tracked since I started recording my progress, not every match I've ever played.
And the funny thing is, my latest session perfectly describes my experience so far.
I started with two wins, then lost four matches in a row. For a moment, it felt like I'd forgotten everything I'd learned.
Then somehow I managed to finish with four consecutive wins.
Two wins. Four losses. Four wins.
Welcome to Street Fighter, I guess. 😂
I'm still making plenty of mistakes. My reactions aren't always great, I sometimes panic under pressure, and I definitely have a lot to learn about defending against certain characters.
But I'm beginning to recognize situations that would have completely confused me a few weeks ago. And every now and then, something I've been practicing actually works in a real match.
That feeling is pretty addictive.
My long-term dream is still to reach Master with Ryu. I know I'm nowhere near that level yet, and I have no idea how long it will take.
But I'm not in a hurry.
I'm enjoying the process, including the losses.
So I mainly wanted to say thank you to everyone who encouraged me in my original post. You helped convince me to give this game a real chance, and I'm glad I did.
And to anyone else starting fighting games in their 30s, 40s, 50s or beyond: don't let your age be the reason you never try.
See you in Ranked! 👊

Highlight (in-game) 1 year of Terry only: Gold 3 → Platinum 1. Platinum is humbling me
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Title says it all. A year ago I posted here when I first picked up Terry: Me as terry a year ago Back then I was Gold 3. Since then I’ve stuck with him exclusively, learned a lot of the game’s fundamentals, and made it to Platinum 1. I’m at around 100 hours now, playing on and off over the past year.
Since it’s a mirror match: I’m the Terry in the DriveTech Wear outfit (player name Xernoba, on the left side).
Loving the game so far, but I’m not gonna lie, Platinum has been a real wall. Getting here took a while, and it’s getting tough to keep improving.

Highlight (in-game) When you're too stubborn to quit in the battlehub...
This is the result of me playing 9 games with a 1843 MR player as a 1450 MR. Unsurprisingly, I lost all them (except 1)
Ngl it is kinda crazy the gap in skill between each MR rank, some games it felt like I couldnt do anything, Ive won sets again 1600s and it felt pretty even for the most part, but 1800 and above is just crazy with how amazing the playera are

Help / Question Street Fighter 6 outfit changes
Just started playing street fighter 6, I’ve been playing a lot of fighting ground and I’ve unlocked some outfit 2 for some of the masters. Is there a way to set their second outfit as the main one for the masters? I like the second look for M. Bison better than his homeless look. It would be nice to always fight against the cpu in this outfit.

Rank UP! Finally Made it to Platinum After placement matches [FULL STORY]
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
This is a repost of my earlier post to where I had a screenshot but I didn’t fully explain what happened, or in my case, it was a low-effort post, so I brought proof
So, as stated, I’ve been playing SF6 for three years, right? Beforehand, my old main character used to be Ryu for a long time since the SFIV days, on the 360.
Fast forward to 2023, when the game came up, I used to pick so many characters, but I was never deep into ranked until about a year later, which was when I decided to sink some hours in. And so, for what felt like an eternity, I was a Bronze-Level player at best, with Ken being the closest choice since he’s similar to Ryu in a way, and I’ve been hardstuck for about a year now with the dude. However, I managed to get to Silver which was my highest rank at one point with Alex and Yasmine when they first came out, through placement matches.
Okay, getting a bit off track here, sorry…long story short, my main account carries that yellow card for a while, to where I could barely get matches, and even if I did, they were against Modern players from overseas, due to the lag on my end. But thankfully I moved so the connection isn’t terrible this time. However, this forced me to pivot to my alt account, to where I switched the button layout, picked Ryu last night and got to work at the lab.
In short, all I managed to do was to pick up on timing, where the opponent tries to go for an air attack, and I’d hit ‘em with a HADOUKEN (though I’m still learning the Shoryuken anti-air, and that alone is tricky considering my inputs), then I’ve began to do more throw escapes frequently, guessing high-low frame mixups, while adding in some High Blade Kick counters without relying too much on accidentally spamming the Shin Shoryukens to finish them off.
And so, after 9 quick yet close placement sets, I came across this Viper player who was at a Gold rank, and we went toe-to-toe, hitting anti-airs, throw escapes, Drive Impacts, you name it. At one point, I slowly figured out her pattern, which is why I’ve been learning on the fly (yes, I’m that kind of player these days) on how to counter some of her stuff. So, after some extra patience, timing and damage, there it was, that Platinum rank badge popping up at my screen, despite losing the set (I believe it was 1-2), and mind you, the rank up was during my first loss against her in the second match, and that player managed to win the set soon after, I was feeling that hyper rush of adrenaline or whatever, even though I tried not to let it get to me, but it did, and I dropped back to Gold-5. Still a nice feat though, since I’ve never made it to Gold either.
And there you go, my entire story of how it all happened.

Discussion Did Arjun usage fall off hard?
I was trying to get Yasmine to Master (really wanted the gold costume!) when Arjun was introduced, which brought my rank down bit by bit. I fared a little better after watching Chris_F’s excellent guide to beating Arjun, but was waffling between diamond 4 and 5 and getting a bit of Arjun fatigue, including reading a handful of posts here on this subreddit about taking a break because they hate fighting Arjun.
I stepped away for a week for a family holiday, and when I returned, I haven’t fought a single Arjun. I was able to get Yasmine to Master, thankfully, but I was shocked that I went from fighting literally 100% Arjuns to zero. Did the bloom fall off that rose extremely quickly or what?? Even Yasmine is well-represented in Capcom’s usage charts for 9/2026.
