SF6 Choose a Main video is finally here! Almost 2 hours long, 4k quality, and I hope you enjoy! Street Fighter 6 is a fantastic game and I hope this video helps you understand the roster better and hopefully guide you to characters you can find fun. To note, this isn't meant to be an exhaustive look at each character, but rather to give you enough info on what they are about and what they do to try to sell you on them! So like and subscribe and all that, and have fun with Street Fighter 6!
@rooflemonger..hey some of us want to get into the game...can you do a beginners guide....and a proper introduction to the game mechanic..please it would really help And also modern controls wrap
roofle my idea of a character specific mechanic will be 4 different strengths for ex moves 1 l+m= light ex 2 l+h= medium ex 3 m+h=heavy ex 4 l+m+h=the most powerful ex
I really appreciate that SF6 has several versions of zoners and grapplers. Every other fighting game recently just feels like there's one or two zoners, ONE grappler, and like 20 rushdowns.
Not only are these videos extremely helpful and informational , but your friendly and outgoing demeanor makes me feel very welcome as a casual player in the fighting game community. Thank you for being you!
I just like how every character seems to have their own 'thing', like Manon's medals, Blanka-chans, Ken's running moves... something unique to each character
They started this with 5, making all the shotos feel different to each other. They've taken it to another level with 6. The whole cast feel super unique now.
Love love *love* that Ryu is moving into the 'mentor' role and is beginning to resemble his master Gouken in both appearance and moveset. Gouken was my favorite in SF4 and was always sad that was his final canonical appearance, but Ryu assuming his master's cloak just fills me with the manly tears 😃😭.
Everyone in this game is terrifyingly good at fighting. Every character feels like they have been given the tools to not only open people up but are also able to diversify and execute on their intended gameplan. I can't wait to play this game.
Jamie is a really cool concept for a rush down character. Having a mechanic that forces the opponent to try and keep pressure on a character that already wants to be in is interesting.
Loved the mini moment 37 at the end of Kens segment, other than your boundless effort it’s small things like this that set you apart from other content creators. These videos are much appreciated Rooflemonger!
Hey Roofle, HUGE Mortal Kombat player here, bought this game to tide me over until MK1 comes out and the learning curve is kicking my ass, a video about how to adjust to this game would be insanely helpful, as was this one!!
As somebody new to the franchise that played MK myself, the combo timing is what gave me the most trouble. You can kinda dial it in when it comes to MK, but the timing for SF is different. It's going to take some messing around to get used to
TH-cam takes 50% of all these donations, so if you really wanna help your favorite channels, youtube donations might actually be the singular worst way to do it.
I'm not even new to SF but I've been playing Guilty Gear Strive and MK games at higher levels. I'm also having trouble with the combo timing but the best advice I can give so far is it all comes down to buffering specials and canceling out your normals. For example: Cammy's 5HP>214LP, I've noticed as soon as I hit HP I need to hold down and start buffering the quartercircle. Stuff where Marisa cancels from a quartercircle to a charged quartercircle is still beyond me
As a man who had to work at 6 AM today and couldn’t stay up til midnight to start playing, I greatly appreciate this Rooflecast. 2 hours of explaining everyone to me as I wrack my brain trying to figure out who to main while working was incredibly helpful
This is the result of a lot of time and effort lol, so if you wanna share this video around or hit the like button or anything I won't complain 👼 SF6 is a true triumph though. There may be some characters I like more than others, but every character can do so much, is so expressive, and are just plain fun to play. SF6 is gonna be here for years to come, so buckle up!
This is the most robust in depth guide I've seen in a long time. You really took your time with this and explained everything well and I appreciate it alot. I've been an SF player for over 20 years (still go back to the old school from time to time) and you've inspired me to branch out and try other characters. Thank you for this 🙏
WE ARE LIVE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! And to kick things off, we got the omega guide for SF6. Thanks for all your time and energy Rooflemonger!
This is such a great video, not just for trying to pick characters to play but as the a basic overview of how to play against each character. It had the perfect blend of showing the specials, normals, and unique mechanics, while proving just enough context for why those thing matter and the character's general gameplan. Thank you!
Roofle, you're my hero. I don't really play FGs these days, but I'm gonna watch this whole video and see if there's anyone in the roster who can rekindle my fighting spirit!
I got the game and I'm trying Jamie, Kimberly, and Juri. We'll see whom I end up maining. (My old ass should be playing simpler characters like Marisa, but the heart wants what the heart wants 😛 I sure wish Guy or Ibuki were in the game instead of Kimberly, though.)
Another extremely informative array of content from you. Your channel is pure class all the way. It’s Manon for me, nothings changed there except your coverage of her in this video has me even more hyped!
I am new to street fighter, but MY GOD, everything in this game is so well thought out that it's crazy to me! Thank you so much for this video, I would not be able to understand so many of the nuances and tiny details of characters without this
I already knew I was playing Marisa since she was announced but a solid rundown of the cast is always good to have Manon might have my eye too, those grab levels are scary
You sold these characters to me like it was nobody's business but yours! I'm someone who only plays like 3 characters in Smash and that's it, but I can see myself maining at least half of SF6's roster. Seriously, well done.
The KOF XV choose a main video is how I found the channel, so glad to see the SF6 one in my subscriptions this morning! Seriously thank you so much for all the hard work and hours of research that went into this. An amazing comprehensive guide that I’ll definitely be coming back to for reference!
Not only was this video extremely informative and digestible, but I really appreciate you briefly talking about the lore of the characters themselves :) This video was very fun and approachable for a newer player like me; most videos Ive come across they seem very dry, serious and a bit intimidating so it makes it a bit hard to follow-- but your personality and explanations of the characters movesets, abilities and playstyle definitely held my attention! Thank you so much!
Again, thank you so much for the incredible volume and quality of content you put out. SF6 has already been incredible with just the few hours it’s been out, looking forward to a long time with it!
roodlemonger, you are for sure the most passionate fcg creator out there. a lot of other creators will say bringing in new people to fighting games is the best thing to do for the community, but you are one of the only ones that actually does it without alienating the vets.
In a world of unskippable cutscenes, pay-2-win, and a general disregard for skill-based punishing PVP gameplay, it is so awesome to see Capcom absolutely flexing their creativity in their gameplay mechanics. They went all-out in terms of innovation here. Thanks Rooflemonger for this spectacular guide! A must-see for every new player IMO.
I can't fathom how you don't have a million subscribers, your videos are absolutely flawless man. The perfect breakdown of everything I needed to know about each fighter. Infact ALL the content I've ever watched from your channel is always scripted with dignity. I can watch it out loud with my family without a shred of worry. You sir, are a legend in my books Gonna finish it in 4k TV at home with some takeout. Thank you for this👍
As someone who gravitated towards Anakaris in Darkstalkers, your video helped me realize that Dhalsim is the way to go for starting my SF6 journey. Your content and character overviews are amazing.
I can't thank you enough for this . Even if try all them myself , i will miss many aspects of what they do considering my low knowledge of fighting game so this might save me alot of time trying everyone. I will take some notes and try those who inspire me !
These videos have been really great for me as I'm considering getting into fighting games. They've been helping me see if there's any characters I would like playing.
I gotta say man, I don’t comment on videos often at all but i feel obligated to say thank you for the amount of work you put in. This video, along with the guilty gear video, help so much in figuring out what every character does and helping decide which character to experiment with. I appreciate the amount of work you put into your channel, you’re one of my favorite content creators! Keep it up man, thank you!! 🙏🏼
I came across your channel from a TH-cam suggestion and I'm glad I checked out some of your videos. I watched this one and the SF6 10 tips one. Both were so good. I like how you explain things that people who enjoy playing fighting games can understand without knowing all of the terminology, such as "plus on block." I also like that your videos aren't filled with fluff. You get straight to the point and don't block the game play with your head or overlays. I look forward to watching more videos on your channel.
SF6 is a great example of what a BIG roster is. SF5 had 16 chars but it felt way way less. SF6 has just 2 more and yet the roster does not feel short changed or lacking. Brilliant video as always rooflemonger. Cheers to this good game.
This video did so much more than help me pick a main, great video, title didn’t nearly do it justice, I need to watch it again cause it had all the sauce! Thanks again
Really appreciate this kind of video! I was on the fence about getting SF6, watching people playing a bit here and there but I never really realised some of the character mechanics until you spoke in depth about them, definitely makes the game sound more interesting, and the characters themselves some of which I am now more interested in playing. Thank you!
I’m new to street fighter (fighting games in general really, I’ve had a bit of experience in Injustice 2 but that’s about it) and watching you do that 21 hit combo with Ryu at the start of the video blew me away. I’m exceptionally bad at fighting games, but I hope I can get to a point where I can make someone feel like how you made me feel pulling off a combo like that! 😅
Hey. Found your channel a while back. Have loved your voice and your content as a whole. You’re a great ambassador to the genre and I hope you continue to do what you do.
Thank you for this. I haven’t played any fighting games in many years, but the excitement for this and the fact that I can use the modern button setup as I get used to the game is nicer. Still don’t know who I will main. I have always been interested in Juri, but Kimberly reminds me of Sakura and I also am intrigued by Manon’s gameplay style
I've been playing fighting games for a long time but I can never get in the street fighter because of how complex it could be. Thank you so much for making a video like this because it helps a lot!
Hey man, was playing Luke in the beta and loved him. When you brought up Mk players would feel at home with him, it all made sense. Thanks for the content.
Been watching a shit ton of street fighter content this week. Odd complement but your one of the only ppl that didn’t put me to sleep with this long a vid. Voice didn’t drone on. Can feel your vigor for the game in the way you describe things. Keep up the good work!
I've never been into fighting games but even just the style and animations of this game are so cool, and with the added accessibility of modern inputs I look forward to try it at my friend's place :D
This is one of the best videos on YT that I've ever seen in turns of SO MUCH compact, yet consumable, information about a fighting game. WOW! Question 1: Do you make these for every fighting game?! I will pay for this! Question 2: How do we get the talented modders out there to put that that frame data chart into older games 😅 I was already excited for SF6 and have been loving it so far but this video made me even more hyped. Having ADHD and looking for frame info online was so brutal (so I never did it) but now with this in-game tool, it's like cognitive behavioural therapy for me! I LOVE IT! Now... just to find time to start making tables and formulating hypothetical combos... 🤤
Once again Rooflemonger providing the good content as ever. Also Zangief perfect KO animation is hilarious 😂. The year of SPD’s has arrived. The red cyclone is getting revenge from the disrespect from SFV. Maybe get to see more of Snake Eyes 👀 in SF6😊.
Super helpful video! It's a mini guide to each character, while at the same time focusing on the things that make each character uniquely different from both a conceptual and game-design point of view. Well done!
Great guide!! I'm torn between Cammy and Marisa. This will be the first fighting game that I want to try to commit to so I need someone relatively beginner friendly. Both the extremes of fast rush-down attacks and massive clobbering punches are appealing to me; I'll have to try both and see which works best.
Really appreciate this info! I'm new to fighting games and while I picked up SF5 cause it was free last year, I kind of bounced off of it. Hearing these explanations for SF6 (and the in game explanations) have really helped me sort out which characters I wanna try! Thanks!
Thank you for your insight and hard work as always. I can honestly say that everyone looks fun to play. I'll probably start with Jamie (sucker/bias for Drunken style) , Lily and Dhalsim because I like a challenge and his teleport is easier. Too bad we're not getting a new Killer Instinct as well this year. Keep up the awesome work. 🙂
I watched this whole thing lol! I haven’t bought SF before but I’ve played at a friends. This is the first time I really want to get SF and it looks so fun! Personally I really wanna try Kimberly, Dee Jay, and Manon. Not sure which I’ll main but I’m glad I had this video go in-depth for each character and show their strengths. Thanks for posting this
I haven't played since Street Fighter II, in the arcade, in the 80's. This highlights every memory of then, and brings it to the now. The animations are so perfectly in sync with back then. I think this is what I need to pull the trigger and pick it up again. Thanks for this showcase!
Excellent video! I haven't dug into my favorite guy Ken yet (completing world tour and enjoying) but when saw where the flaming shoryuken was hiding my mouth dropped. You surely taught me something new today. Will keep an eye out for new content
I respect what you're trying to do here, Roofle, but it's not going to stop me from helplessly ping-ponging my way through the entire cast at random until I know one halfassed bread-and-butter with everyone and get bodied by anyone with an actual main.
I love how I can casually watch your videos and then randomly discover something I had no idea about like Chun-Li being able to override charges while in stance. Great video as always!
FAM... GREAT breakdown. I dont even play SF series and I watched a solid half hour through! DW im comin back to finish. really entertaining and mad info. thnx.

And almost every game, especially from Netherrealm have those two zoners be the strongest and the grappler be the worst
@@roronoa_zoro968in dbfz it’s the exact opposite lol
@@bear-ng6lu yeah broly z is literaly a zoner/grappler

Thank you for the Chun Li parry at 16:00 we all needed that.
Yes, very cheeky and fun reference there :D

Ahh classic, remember watching this when strive came out. Roofle will always be part of my fgc experience. Thank you for all you do for the community!
True. My go-to channel for this kind of stuff for sure!
Street Fighter 6 - How to choose your Main Character!
For real. Max, True Underdawg, and Roofle make the FGC go round. Vesperarcade is great as well, but he's mostly focused on SF.
I just like how every character seems to have their own 'thing', like Manon's medals, Blanka-chans, Ken's running moves... something unique to each character
They started this with 5, making all the shotos feel different to each other. They've taken it to another level with 6. The whole cast feel super unique now.
@@quinnah5544 only problem is some unique stuff like Jamie’s drinks hold them back from being good unless they’ve got the drinks in
@Y. Man apparently he got nerfed from the betas he was a problem in those for me, at least anyway.
What does chun li have?
@@aeriagloris4211 her new stance, qcb+K and she goes into a crouching position, then all 6 buttons each have a different move
You know the roster is amazing when you are thinking about playing everyone.
I damn sure will learn every character lol.
This is what I feel
That’s me as well. Every character is so cool
Exactly, I just ran thru the whole roster, Ryu, Luke, Jamie, Cammy, Kimberly, and JP for me
@@ronaldwilliams9635 that's not the whole roster lol.
This did not help me choose a main. It just made me want to play everyone. Dope work, Roofle
Love love *love* that Ryu is moving into the 'mentor' role and is beginning to resemble his master Gouken in both appearance and moveset. Gouken was my favorite in SF4 and was always sad that was his final canonical appearance, but Ryu assuming his master's cloak just fills me with the manly tears 😃😭.
Who’s he mentoring?
Gouken was definitely the coolest addition to SFIV. Hopefully they bring him back some day.
Gouken was the coolest in SFIV, also loved Gen in that game. Such a great game. Hoping 6 is even better than 4
@@nostars8804 Just glad we don't have Rufus back. I despise that dumb-ass character. The rest can stay, but him? The door is to the left.
@@gjfwangYour created character.
Love that you structured it in this way. Having the old character and then their new counterpart. Really cool man
im gonna binge this whole 2 hours and agree with everything said... and then just end up picking who looks the coolest anyway.
Aka picking Marisa
Which is what someone should always do.
Even if you pick a top tier, you're gonna get bored if it's not the character you like
This is the exact reason that i've been an Akuma/Bison main for so long lol I'm not very good with either of them but they're so cool
Everyone in this game is terrifyingly good at fighting. Every character feels like they have been given the tools to not only open people up but are also able to diversify and execute on their intended gameplan. I can't wait to play this game.
Jamie is a really cool concept for a rush down character. Having a mechanic that forces the opponent to try and keep pressure on a character that already wants to be in is interesting.
About time that this franchise feature the drunken fist style.
Reminds me of Tager in a way.
Now we just need a zoner who forces you to stay away from them or something lmao
Works the same way as A.B.A from Guilty Gear +R.

I’m new to street fighter (fighting games in general really, I’ve had a bit of experience in Injustice 2 but that’s about it) and watching you do that 21 hit combo with Ryu at the start of the video blew me away. I’m exceptionally bad at fighting games, but I hope I can get to a point where I can make someone feel like how you made me feel pulling off a combo like that! 😅
The feeling of meeting a player who inspires you to get stronger GRAHHHHH, it’s the best dawg. Hoping you get there in your journey fr
Most of the time i already know which characters im gonna pick, but he explains everything so well, that i will still always watch the full vid :D
I'm old and lame, Ryu is my main in every game initially lol. Though he does look great now.
Ken and akuma better
I like how Ryu has aged with us. He's pretty much now what Gouken was in his prime.
@@dynamitestalker4219 Kens a hobo
@@ThePlasticBowl you misspelled homo.
I've never really been interested in grapplers but Monon has definitely made me change my mind.
I really love how every character has got a gimmick! Even I, who have never played fighting games, want to play this game so badly now...
It’s good and with the modern control settings you can just jump right in.
I love how he recreated the SF tournament clip where the guy parries chun li’s ultimate with Ken truly amazing
IT'S DAIGO TIME!!
Hey. Found your channel a while back. Have loved your voice and your content as a whole. You’re a great ambassador to the genre and I hope you continue to do what you do.
i choose my main based on whoever looks the coolest
Roof! Thanks for the time and effort you take to make these videos for both casuals and experts alike!
That viewership chart above the play bar is pretty funny lmao. Very revealing of who people are interested in.
Outstanding content especially for how young the game is. Massive ups!
I was about to comment this lmfao.
Thank you for this. I haven’t played any fighting games in many years, but the excitement for this and the fact that I can use the modern button setup as I get used to the game is nicer. Still don’t know who I will main. I have always been interested in Juri, but Kimberly reminds me of Sakura and I also am intrigued by Manon’s gameplay style
I've been playing fighting games for a long time but I can never get in the street fighter because of how complex it could be. Thank you so much for making a video like this because it helps a lot!
Thanks for the hard work Roofle!
recently picked up sf6, and your video has teached me a lot, not only about my character but how the entire roster works. Really apreciated.
Hey man, was playing Luke in the beta and loved him. When you brought up Mk players would feel at home with him, it all made sense. Thanks for the content.
Welcome to SF! Hope you can keep having fun 👍
Been watching a shit ton of street fighter content this week. Odd complement but your one of the only ppl that didn’t put me to sleep with this long a vid. Voice didn’t drone on. Can feel your vigor for the game in the way you describe things. Keep up the good work!
I've never been into fighting games but even just the style and animations of this game are so cool, and with the added accessibility of modern inputs I look forward to try it at my friend's place :D
This is one of the best videos on YT that I've ever seen in turns of SO MUCH compact, yet consumable, information about a fighting game. WOW!
Question 1: Do you make these for every fighting game?! I will pay for this!
Question 2: How do we get the talented modders out there to put that that frame data chart into older games 😅
I was already excited for SF6 and have been loving it so far but this video made me even more hyped.
Having ADHD and looking for frame info online was so brutal (so I never did it) but now with this in-game tool, it's like cognitive behavioural therapy for me! I LOVE IT!
Now... just to find time to start making tables and formulating hypothetical combos... 🤤
Once again Rooflemonger providing the good content as ever. Also Zangief perfect KO animation is hilarious 😂. The year of SPD’s has arrived. The red cyclone is getting revenge from the disrespect from SFV. Maybe get to see more of Snake Eyes 👀 in SF6😊.
Super helpful video! It's a mini guide to each character, while at the same time focusing on the things that make each character uniquely different from both a conceptual and game-design point of view. Well done!
Great guide!! I'm torn between Cammy and Marisa. This will be the first fighting game that I want to try to commit to so I need someone relatively beginner friendly. Both the extremes of fast rush-down attacks and massive clobbering punches are appealing to me; I'll have to try both and see which works best.
I dont actually play fighting games or sf6 but its weirdly entertaining to watch lol
Props for making a guide for every character
Rooflemonger, you are my 'go to' for SF6 videos. Keep up the good work. 👍
I already know my main but gotta respect the effort for the video and leave a comment
🙏
Really appreciate this info! I'm new to fighting games and while I picked up SF5 cause it was free last year, I kind of bounced off of it. Hearing these explanations for SF6 (and the in game explanations) have really helped me sort out which characters I wanna try! Thanks!
Thank you for your insight and hard work as always. I can honestly say that everyone looks fun to play.
I'll probably start with Jamie (sucker/bias for Drunken style) , Lily and Dhalsim because I like a challenge and his teleport is easier. Too bad we're not getting a new Killer Instinct as well this year. Keep up the awesome work. 🙂
This was great not only to see who I'd like to play, but to better understand the whole roster when going against them. Thank you!
My only concern so far is Ken fighting-type says power while Ryu says standard and everybody knows Ken is the speed guy and Ryu is the power guy.
Going on about 4 or 5 years of watching your reviews since the early days of dbfz thanks for taking the time to do this
I watched this whole thing lol! I haven’t bought SF before but I’ve played at a friends. This is the first time I really want to get SF and it looks so fun! Personally I really wanna try Kimberly, Dee Jay, and Manon. Not sure which I’ll main but I’m glad I had this video go in-depth for each character and show their strengths. Thanks for posting this
Deejay is so dope
Manon is what is making me want to play this
@@ZetaHaru Marissa is very dope to me, very effective
@@ZetaHaru no i dont want you to join them, help me fuk them up.i played against her and she do alot of damage and real irritating to play against
I haven't played since Street Fighter II, in the arcade, in the 80's. This highlights every memory of then, and brings it to the now. The animations are so perfectly in sync with back then. I think this is what I need to pull the trigger and pick it up again. Thanks for this showcase!
damn cookin with the info quick!
Excellent video! I haven't dug into my favorite guy Ken yet (completing world tour and enjoying) but when saw where the flaming shoryuken was hiding my mouth dropped.
You surely taught me something new today. Will keep an eye out for new content
You never fail to deliver great content. Glad I've been a subscriber for all these years 💪🏿
🙏
This is such a fantastic overview and so well written as well!
I respect what you're trying to do here, Roofle, but it's not going to stop me from helplessly ping-ponging my way through the entire cast at random until I know one halfassed bread-and-butter with everyone and get bodied by anyone with an actual main.
I relate to this so deeply
I also am experiencing the same hell.
Luckily every character can get it's own rank, unlike sfv 😅
I love how I can casually watch your videos and then randomly discover something I had no idea about like Chun-Li being able to override charges while in stance. Great video as always!
great content, would appreciate more of these going forward
Expect plenty more guides over the next days and weeks!
FAM... GREAT breakdown. I dont even play SF series and I watched a solid half hour through! DW im comin back to finish. really entertaining and mad info. thnx.
