A month after the release of Elena and the Season 3 patch for Street Fighter 6, the competitive scene has adapted to new strategies and meta dynamics. Recently, Pochoclo23 unveiled a comprehensive tier list categorizing characters into S+, S, A+, A, B, and “R.I.P.” tiers.

Leading the pack are Akuma, JP, M. Bison, Mai, and Ryu, identified as the game’s current top-tier “monsters” or “boss characters.” Following closely, Guile, Juri, Terry, Rashid, and Cammy are recognized as formidable contenders in the S tier.

However, the outlook appears grim for E. Honda and Manon, who occupy the “R.I.P.” tier, indicating significant struggles. Marisa, Dhalsim, and Lily also find themselves at risk in the tier just above them. While Pochoclo23 assures that all other characters remain viable, he notes that defensive tools are currently lacking, reinforcing the emphasis on neutral play in this dynamic fighting game landscape.
