A recent balance update for Street Fighter 6 has stirred excitement among players, focusing on key adjustments for Mai, Sagat, and Elena. Notably, Mai received significant nerfs, while Sagat and Elena received valuable buffs, altering their gameplay dynamics.

Chico, a renowned Egyptian-German competitor and prominent Sagat user, has responded with an updated tier list, highlighting the current landscape of character rankings. Ryu, JP, and Mai now occupy the top three spots, with Ryu advancing to the number one position.

Sagat’s upgrades have significantly improved his standing, elevating him from B tier to A tier, while Elena has followed suit with a similar ascent. In stark contrast, E. Honda and Lily remain at the bottom of the rankings, as they did not benefit from the patch.

This update not only reshapes the competitive environment but also reinforces the ongoing evolution of Street Fighter 6 as players adapt to new strategies and character strengths.
