Now that players have spent a good amount of time here with Street Fighter 6 Season 2, several pro competitors are sharing their latest thoughts on the meta and the tier list. In light of the newest update, which added Terry Bogard as a guest DLC character and an assortment of balance changes, we’re seeing tier lists and match up charts being posted on social media that further paint a potential picture of where things currently stand.
The latest of the bunch comes from top contender NASR|BigBird, who is known most for his success with Rashid here in Street Fighter 6. BigBird has dropped his tier match up chart for the master of the turbulent wind to inform the community where he believes the top tier fighter stands when it comes to facing the rest of the roster.
BigBird organizes this Rashid match up chart into the following four categories: Advantaged (Rashid wins), Even (even fight), Disadvantaged (Rashid loses), and Not Sure.
Starting at the top with the matches BigBird feels Rashid wins in, we see nine of the current roster characters sitting comfortably in this category. Among the pack are some of the lower tiers like Marisa, Manon, Dhalsim, and Jamie, with Luke also being placed here likely due to the nerfs he received for Season 2.
There are eight fighters that go even with Rashid, according to the pro, and from the looks of it, he also feels that there are four characters in the game right now that actually beat Rashid. Among those, we see a very surprising pick in Zangief, and though he didn’t quite elaborate on this one, we do learn more about why he’s placed Chun-Li as a winning match up against Rashid.
“Hard to contest her buttons, Hazanshu going through fireballs, level 2 can be punished on start up with OD Hazanshu > level 2 or 3,” BigBird wrote in a response on Twitter. “Basically the neutral game feels difficult.”
As far as newcomer Terry goes, BigBird just hasn’t run that match up yet and isn’t quite sure how it plays out. Interestingly enough, the only other character on the roster that he places in the same category as Terry is E. Honda, who BigBird also feels he doesn’t have enough experience against in recent times to make a call.
