  • @hunthoot
    Finally I can have an opinion on street fighter 6 season 1
  • @beanfiend1489
    They know about the crouching medium kick on Deejay... I thought I was just a Silver 3 Deejay prodigy
  • @LastLune
    I can feel my braincells dying glancing through twitch chat during this.
  • @Djindas
    Shout-out to the guy in chat genuinely thinking that LUKE STREET FIGHTER 6 is F TIER
  • It's crazy how viable so many of these characters feel for general play. I hope the S2 adjustments make the best characters need a little more risk and the worst characters a bit more fun to play.
  • @mikaela5938
    every character in this game feels terrifying to play against
  • Fully agree with the take on Honda. That character is so stupidly designed. I've peaked at 1900 MR and I still feel like he's one of the few characters where I can lose if I'm having a bad day or not 110% focused. You have to work so hard to counter him consistently meanwhile the Honda is just doing really simple stuff (yes even at higher MR his tools can be abused in smarter ways)
  • @zachwatts4690
    I like this list a lot - I appreciated that you focused a lot on the characters’ strengths throughout the list. A lot of tier list videos I’ve seen tend to really only talk about strengths with higher tier characters and really only discuss weaknesses of lower tier characters
  • The look on his face at 19:15… 🤣 bro had the “if you were right next to me I would literally choke you right now” look
  • I enjoy your tier lists because it's actually just fun to talk about the characters sometimes. Tier lists give a good excuse to go in depth
  • @katchef7085
    Give blanka chan doll a scaling buff and extend his level 2 time limit by 30 minutes he needs it
  • I think the issue with Ken is that he was almost fully fleshed out before Evo while every other character was still being figured out up until at least LCQ for the most part. This allowed other characters to run while Ken is basically jogging briskly.
  • @sirbarky
    I watched the whole discussion. This is a good, level-headed review of character strengths and weaknesses. There is always a 'hidden' strength of characters like grapplers, imo, and that is the psychological warfare aspect of this. Listening to dannypham talk about this really solidified the idea: gief is there to get in your head and win. His objective character tools may not have him at advantage, but the way he can dismantle you mentally makes up for those weaknesses imo (except for lariat not hitting behind, come on now capcom).
  • @mikaela5938
    i think Cammy has the same issue Chun does that people downplay her constantly bc of waifu bias, she's stupid good
  • @leandrecook179
    Cant wait to start playing/learning sf6 once akuma drops, ive been waiting since he was announced
  • @vmichial
    Nah don't tell anyone AKI is good, I'm gettin mad Kudos because everyone thinks I'm the underdog.
