Street Fighter 6 – Why You Aren’t ‘Levelling Up’ In Ranked

gameranx.com:

We’ve all been there. We’ve all been living our merry lives, climbing Street Fighter 6’s Ranked ladder and crumping every Rookie and Iron player we’ve come across. You became the ‘Noob-Killer’, the ‘Ender Of Streaks’, the ‘King Of Bronze’. Suddenly, as if from nowhere, you approached – and subsequently collided with – the dread ‘Wall’.

Walls (huh, yeah), what are they good for? Keeping you from ranking up, that’s what. These dastardly metaphorical constructs formed of cognitive brick and mortar are there to be the bane of newcomers. Getting through them can be difficult – even time-consuming – but we have the sledgehammer to break that wall down, and we are gifting it to you.

That’s not to say jumping isn’t powerful – because it is. It covers a large distance, it can be used to ‘cross up’, many techniques incorporate jumping in some way
