History YMMV / StreetFighter6

* FanartAtFirstSight: An unusual example. Because of a ContentLeak that occurred mere hours after the game's announcement trailer at the June 2022 State of Play event, concept art of the entire roster was revealed. This lead to a majority of the game's cast receiving fan art months before they were officially revealed. Cammy in particular was a huge recipient of fan art thanks to her drastic redesign and once she was finally officially unveiled at the February 2023 State of Play event, the amount of fan art she was getting increased tremendously.

** The major roster members as Masters suffer a bit of this. A few characters such as Luke or Chun-Li help set the player on their way, and [[spoiler:Juri]] acts as an early antagonist before rounding about, but the vast majority of the Masters mostly exist as an excuse to give players abilities to learn and the chance to interact with their favorite characters. A majority of them are also stuck to their fighting stages, effectively leaving these characters entirely out of the plot and instead standing around on the equivalent of small dioramas for players to come to them. For contrast, World Tour's main free-roaming environment of Metro City hosts 6 Masters[[note]]Luke, Chun-Li, Ken and Honda in the morning, Jamie and Kimberly in the evening[[/note]] whereas the endgame location of Nayshall has 2[[note]]Juri and JP, with the latter only unlocking after World Tour's end[[/note]]; the rest of the characters must be visited in the aforementioned static home stages.

** Luke is still considered as divisive as he was in ''V''. His new design and more fleshed out personality are either seen as improvements, or just as uninteresting as his debut depiction, and people remain split on whether he's good enough to be the new face of ''Street Fighter'', or find him too generic and lacking charisma to be worthy of that role.

** Luke is widely considered to be one of the best characters in season 1. He has it all; a solid projectile, great anti-airs, a strong throw loop, solid damage (meterless or otherwise), and the ease of use to go with it. He also synergizes well with the Drive System, and can spend his Drive Gauge however he sees fit. Luke doesn't have many exploitable weaknesses, so it's just a matter of skill when fighting against a Luke player. The February 27, 2024 balance patch toned down some of his more egregious tools, mainly making [[ThatOneAttack crouching medium punch]] more whiff punishable and making air Flash Knuckle most punishable on whiff.

** Manon had a large player base in the early part of ''6's'' competitive life, but as the months rolled on, her player base dwindled and found herself near the bottom of most pro player's tier lists. Her strengths are clear, (long reaching normals, and the threat of huge damage with the [[GatheringSteam medal system]]) but her weaknesses far outweigh them. Her neutral game is lacking, with her main approach option of Dégagé being highly committal and ''very'' unsafe on block. She lacks pokes with meaningful conversions and, even worse, ANY normal move that's safe on block, meaning that whenever her opponent blocks an attack, they can always challenge her. This also has the side effect of making her meter hungry to get any momentum, let alone normals that are plus on block. Much like fellow grapplers Zangief and Lily, Manon folds under pressure due to having no reversal outside of her Super Arts. But unlike the other grapplers, Manon doesn't have any major punishes for opponents that jump back when she starts her offense. The end result is Manon having one really solid gimmick with her medal mechanic, but doesn't give her much to work with. Though unlike other low-tier characters in previous ''Street Fighter'' titles, Manon isn't so much bad as much as just outclassed by other characters. She got buffed in the February 27, 2024 balance patch.

* CompleteMonster: [[TheChessmaster JP]] is the leader of the cyberterrorist organization Amnesia who wishes to restore Shadaloo back to its former glory. Previously [[Characters/StreetFighterMBison M. Bison]]'s [[CorruptCorporateExecutive financial advisor]] who was chosen to be his [[MeetTheNewBoss successor]] after mastering his Psycho Power, JP frequently [[VillainWithGoodPublicity poses as a wealthy philanthropist]] who establishes many companies in Third-World countries, creating destructive conflicts such as civil wars just so he can set up charity organizations from which to launder money. Setting up shop in Nayshall, JP frames [[Characters/StreetFighterI Ken Masters]] as a collaborator of Amnesia to ruin his life, then holds his son Mel hostage while forcing him to activate a series of drone bombs that would kill hundreds of people in order to save him. Sensing a resistance trying to stop him, JP tries to trick the PlayerCharacter and their friend Bosch's little sister Yua into getting killed by a hidden bomb.
