FAQ

Common questions

SCHEMA.ORG · FAQPAGE

Who is the best character in Street Fighter 6 right now? +

Juri is the dominant S-tier pick in patch v1.30, with the strongest neutral toolset and best reactive defense in the cast. Luke remains the safest pick if you want to learn fundamentals — their normals are still the gold standard.

Did the v1.30 patch change the tier list? +

Yes — Marisa lost a key combo route and dropped from A to B, while A.K.I. gained startup on Snake Step (-1f) and jumped from B to A. Full breakdown in the methodology section above.

Is Dhalsim really C tier? My main is good. +

Dhalsim is C tier because of how the meta has shifted, not because the character is bad. In the right hands they can still win sets at any level. Tier lists describe difficulty of the path, not the ceiling.

How often is this tier list updated? +

Within 48 hours of every patch, and at the start of every season. The "Updated" date at the top of every Renegame tier list is the source of truth.

Where can I see matchup numbers? +
