Street Fighter 6 is about to undergo its biggest update so far on May 22. Not only is Akuma being released as a DLC fighter, but there will also be plenty of balance adjustments made to every combatant.
Earlier today, Capcom announced that there will be new combo trials packaged along with the Season 2 update due to the upcoming balance changes. Of course, this implies that characters will have access to brand new combos, while other combos may no longer work.
An image shows how Zangief’s Beginner Combo Trial 3, Beginner Combo Trial 4, Beginner Combo Trial 5, and Beginner Combo Trial 7 will be changed on May 22. There will even be a notification next to each combo trial indicating when they were last updated.
Of course, it’s likely that Zangief will have more updated combos with the Season 2 update. We should expect the Intermediate and Advanced Combo Trials to probably be a little more difficult this time around.
Capcom has also revealed that the Training Mode will have a new option that will allow players to reset combo damage. With this, players will be able to better optimize their training sessions.
