Paramount’s new Street Fighter trailer doubles down on campy nostalgia, highlighting Ryu and Ken in a ’90s-inspired live-action tournament with Chun-Li as a conspiracy around M. Bison drives the action, joined by Akuma, Dhalsim, and Vega, ahead of the October 16, 2026 release.
Snake Eyez released a new Street Fighter 6 tier list, placing Ed, Mai, JP, and Blanka on top while describing Ryu as 'amazing' but somewhat overrated; Bison, Terry, and Akuma sit in A+ alongside him, Sagat and C. Viper in A, with Jamie and Manon in C as the weakest. The December patch reshuffled Sagat, Elena, and Mai, fueling ongoing debate about the game's meta as Alex and Ingrid await release.

A glitch in Street Fighter 6's Drive Rush mechanic has been discovered, where if two players input the action at the same time, one player will receive a screen freeze effect before the other, giving them an advantage in exchanges. This is due to the game adding an extra frame to the startup during the screen freeze for the first character. The glitch has been highlighted along with another bug that allows for infinite Drive Gauge usage, and it is hoped that these issues will be addressed in future updates.
Daigo Umehara, a renowned Street Fighter player, has expressed his belief that Ryu is not strong enough to compete in Street Fighter 6. He acknowledges that while Ryu is not weak, other characters in the game are overpowered, making Ryu's abilities insufficient.

He also discusses the importance of Okizeme in the game and how it poses a challenge for Ryu.
Daigo Umehara has been winning a lot in the Street Fighter 6 Demo and believes the game rewards offense better than Street Fighter 5. He also likes the game's design and believes it caters more towards his playstyle. Although he has been playing Guile in Street Fighter 5, he plans to main Ryu in Street Fighter 6 when it's officially released on June 2, 2023.
Professional Street Fighter player Daigo Umehara is unsure about maining Ryu or Guile in Street Fighter 6, stating that while Ryu feels good to play, he doesn't want to pick him just because he's Ryu. He also expressed doubts about Guile's prominence in the game, saying that if he stands out too much, it could mean he's not fun to play and could overshadow other characters. Umehara is most curious about JP, Marisa, Jamie, Lily, and even Zangief, with Jamie being the frontrunner among the newcomers. Ultimately, his main has to be both strong and fun to play.
