It’s been a good month since Capcom dropped the latest balance patch for Street Fighter 6. Many are saying that Ed and Cammy were the biggest losers of the update while Ryu and Kimberly were among the major winners.
The FGC Place recently uploaded some footage featuring BST|Daigo Umehara’s ranked sessions. Just like before, Daigo is still playing as Akuma even though the character also received his fair share of nerfs.
With Kimberly looking especially dangerous after her buffs, Daigo ended up running into the fourth best Kimberly of the leaderboards, Ranndo. While Daigo is known for having immaculate pressure with Akuma’s fireball game, his usage of fireballs against Kimberly becomes more reserved due to her numerous anti-zoning tools.
In a recent video, Daigo appeared to be ecstatic about Cammy getting nerfed. “At long last… She’s finally obeying the law,” hilariously said Daigo about Cammy upon reading her patch notes.
Funnily enough, Daigo ended up running into Mizuha, the top ranked Cammy user online, during his recent ranked session. Though Cammy has been nerfed, her explosive damage output still forces Daigo to play very carefully around her options.
Finally, we also threw in a match featuring Daigo going up against Hibiki, the highest ranked Lily player online. Even though Lily did receive some buffs herself, they don’t really impact her gameplay that much, but this is still a player that requires Daigo to really lock in to defeat.
