In an exciting development for the competitive scene, players have uncovered powerful option selects for Guile and Blanka in Street Fighter 6, stemming from the recent Season 3 patch. Guile’s newfound ability allows him to simultaneously counter meaty attacks, tech throws, and avoid shimmies, closely resembling functions from earlier titles like Street Fighter 4.

Meanwhile, Blanka introduces a unique maneuver, transitioning into Coward Crouch under specific conditions, although his option select is deemed less practical than Guile’s. These exploits may have arisen due to adjustments in Guile’s crouching light kick, which saw significant frame recovery changes.

Capcom is moving swiftly to address these unintended behaviors, announcing a server maintenance on June 26, 2025, at 12:00 a.m. PDT and 3:00 a.m. EDT. Expect the fixes to restore balance as the team aims to eliminate these exploits and maintain fair play in the thrilling world of Street Fighter 6.
