Broski recently released a new video that has him creating a “tier list” of sorts that rates characters based on how easy or difficult they are to play. Fighters at the top of the list are said to be easy to play while those at the bottom are the most difficult to use.
Funnily enough, E. Honda is alone in the highest tier category where it’s said that “Elmer’s glue tastes nice.” This likely has to do with E. Honda’s emphasis on repeatedly using Sumo Headbutt and Sumo Slam specials, which are both safe on block.
Combatants like Lily, Luke, Ryu, Ken, Juri, and Dee Jay are said to be easy to play. Of course, this certainly makes sense for characters like Ryu, Ken, and Luke as they are essentially the Shoto characters of Street Fighter 6. In other words, they’re easy to play is by design.
Cammy, Jamie, Rashid, Blanka, and A.K.I. are said to be difficult characters to use in Street Fighter 6. However, Dhalsim is said to be the most challenging fighter of all to use in this game.
Do keep in mind that a character’s position on this tier list isn’t meant to reflect overall strength. Near the end of the video, Broski notes that a character like Lily is easy to play, but weak. Meanwhile, Rashid is said to be strong overall despite being in the “slightly hard” tier category.
