Street Fighter 6 closed beta 2 patch notes

1) Bug Fixes

• Some bugs have been fixed.
• Fixed an issue that would cause the game to freeze if you tried to sign out of your profile while in the Battle Hub.

---

2) New Feature

• Added an option to reduce input delay in the Graphics menu. Turning this option on will shorten the gap between your inputs and the action happening on-screen.
• This is particularly added for those who are using a monitor capable of displaying at 120Hz on PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S.
• For the Steam version the same effect can be achieved by turning this option on, setting Vsync to off, and setting the refresh rate to 120 Hz or higher.

---

3) Online Battle

Behavior Adjustments

• Adjusted how input delay works when the connection status causes frequent changes to the delay (represented by the D value at the top of screen), so that it will no longer decrease in a round where there has been an increase.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where spectating one battle cabinet while queued up at another cabinet caused a communication error and a black screen when the match you're spectating is about to end.
• Fixed an issue in Extreme Battle where if a projectile was on the screen, and Juri attacked an explosive with Fuhajin, she would be stuck in the Fuhajin animation until the projectile disappeared.

---

4) Training Mode

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the Frame Meter would not work correctly if you chose to restore default settings.

Battle Adjustments

• Fixed some bugs, as well as tweaked some aspects of the game related to controls and overall strategy.
• There are no individual character adjustments since the last Closed Beta Test.

---

5) Behavior Adjustments

• Adjusted Modern Controls so that a crouching heavy kick will be performed when pressing down-forward+Heavy Attack.

Jamie (Phantom Sway)

• Appears in the command list as Down+Heavy, Heavy, Heavy, but in battle is performed with Down-forward+Heavy, Heavy, Heavy

Guile (Phantom Dagger)

• Appears in the command list as Down+Heavy, Heavy, Heavy, but in battle is performed with Down-forward+Heavy, Heavy, Heavy.

Chun-Li (Water Lotus Fist)

This move is in the command list, but if players perform Down-forward+Heavy while using Modern control type, they will get Chun-Li's crouching heavy kick instead, and not Water Lotus Fist.

• When performing a Super Art command such as Quarter-Circle Forward x 2 or Quarter-Circle Back x 2, the input delay going from down to forward or back is now 12 frames instead of 10 frames.
• Crouching medium kicks that can be canceled into special attacks now have a hitstop of 9 frames instead of 10 frames.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where if players performed a Half-Circle Forward command to perform a Quarter-Circle Forward special move, they would instead get an attack attached to the "Shoryuken" command input.

Balance Adjustments

• Perfect Parrying a projectile now has the same damage scaling when attacking an opponent during their recovery as Perfect Parrying a strike.
• If you continue your parry stance after Perfect Parrying a projectile, if you release the parry within a certain period of time, no recovery time for releasing the parry will occur.
• Level 1 Super Arts for all characters no longer have projectile invincibility.

6) Ryu Adjustments

Balance Adjustments

• To go along with the invincibility change made to all Level 1 Super Arts, Ryu's Hashogeki and Shin Hashogeki are now considered strikes and not projectiles.
