After the recent Capcom Cup X and with Akuma on the way, Street Fighter 6 fans are waiting for the big season 2 balance patch. Some players and content creators are sharing their wish lists for season 2 changes, while others are making final tier lists for the current version of the game.
801 Strider, a content creator, recently made a “Season 1.5” tier list for Street Fighter 6 in one of his videos.
Strider’s tier list has six categories: S rank, A+ rank, and then S, A, B, and C ranks. He also added a special “Luke” rank above the S tier, which shows how highly he rates the new character, Luke.
Initially, Strider put Luke in the S tier alongside Dee Jay, but later he decided Luke deserves his tier above everyone else. He believes Luke is the strongest character in the game right now, which is a widely accepted opinion.
One interesting pick on Strider’s list is JP. JP was very strong at the game’s launch but received nerfs in a small update with the release of DLC character Ed. Strider places JP in the A rank, around 11th overall in the game.
He mentions that while JP still has some strengths, the nerfs to certain moves have significantly affected the character’s effectiveness.
You can check out Strider’s final Street Fighter 6 tier list before season 2 arrives by watching his video. He explains why he placed each character where they are, but there’s a bit of strong language used in the video, so be aware of that.
