Street Fighter 6 rank guide: How does the system work

As mentioned, there are indeed a lot of features that the developers have added to the new franchise entry, and the list below will be going over each of them:

---

1) All Street Fighter 6 rank tiers

The latest franchise entry will be dropping with eight rank tiers, each of which will come with its own sub divisions and tiers. Here is the list of all the tiers in the game:

• Rookie

• Bronze

2) What is rank placement in Street Fighter 6 and how does it work?

You will not be immediately provided with a competitive rank as soon as you drop into the game. As such, you will be required to play 10 placement matches, which will then determine the rank tier that will be the best for you.

The placement system is incredibly intuitive as it will also allow you to pick a skill level that you feel you possess in fighting games. These are as follows:

• Beginner
• Novice
• Intermediate
• Advanced

Once you have selected a preferred skill level, you will need to play through all 10 placements matches. Depending on how you perform, you will then be placed in one of the various ranks and sub-tiers.

Capcom has introduced a new bonus and penalty system for each ranked tier in the game.

3) How is your rank determined in Street Fighter 6?

Your rank in the game will be determined for every single character that you play in the competitive mode. Hence, you will be required to individually rank up, and it will largely depend on the skill that you have with that particular character.

Hence, even if you have reached Master with one character, you will need to go through the 10 game placements again and be placed in a rank tier upon choosing a new one. Thereby, you will have to fight your way up the ladder once again.

4) How will League Points work in Street Fighter 6?

League Points are what you will need to earn in order to move through the various rank tiers in the game. You will earn more points if you win, and depending on the tier you are in, your points may get removed with every loss.

This system is in place to reward those who are new to fighting games and to the franchise. However, those higher up in rank will have to struggle quite a bit to keep their position on the ladder.
