Enjoy and thx for all the support and feed back, people are HYPE about this game and rightfully so. Peace!
Literally everyone looks incredible to play and watch. Stuff has impact visually and sound wise. This is looking to be one of the most solid installments in the franchise if they get the balancing right, but that's the thing, everyone has strong tools going for them and that's a good start. I'm checking out Marisa and Gief first probably. Great summary of the launch roster!
Im gonna be playing Marisa, Juri, and Kimberly. The plan is get to Master rank with all of them. Awesome vid will definitely be checking out more from your channel! Can't wait till the game drops, gonna be my first time playing Street Fighter seriously.
Nice nice, solid choices, totally different though. I think Marisa is gonna be easier to play, she looks like a good day 1 character. Like isnt easy because of the charge timing and also the timing on his juggles were kinda iffy here and there
They all look amazing in the RE engine and I can't wait to play as them. Of course my mains are gonna be Luke,Juri & Dee Jay. Luke being just a chilled fun dude,don't care either way if he's the protag or not I just want to know more about him. Juri is best girl in my eyes and I love her overall design & gameplay, not to mentioned her doing Chun-li's winpose something she and Luke have something incommon, they like trolling their opponents. And Dee Jay returning back from 5 looks way more cooler here in 6. And I gotta represent my Caribbean brother.
Dee Jay is finally his own character! He was very guile light in previous games, a worse version in like every aspect. Now he has unique feats (double fireball, faint, a jab step with different options, the super with frame tight inputs)..on top of the slide, the uppercut with multiple inputs and the way different personality. He is finally THERE imo, i hope he ends up high tier!
great video as usual. i've already decided to stick to Cammy, she's been my favorite since I started SF5 in june last year. I could add Juri since she looks less awkward to play in 6. Can you please make a video about whiff punishing and footsies ? That would also help me since it's a core mechanic on Cammy espescially. Keep up the good work love your videos
Thx Youssef! I can do that in the future. Thing is, whiff punishing is more important in sf6 and also easier, it has a bigger role most likely. But since there is no beta, i cant really make sf6 videos like that right now. Gotta wait till after June second 🫡
I enjoyed the SF6 beta way more than the entirely of SF5. I'm gonna be playing multiple characters like in older SF games. So Ken, Honda, Guile, Lilly for me with a bit of Blanka to troll
They all look so good. How do I choose? lol. I was convinced to get the new SF6 when they showcased Cammy new design but I definitely will stay for Marisa.
Great video, but I think it made the decision even harder for me! Was thinking about maining Cammy, maybe Dee Jay, but you made all the characters sound so cool. Guess I gotta try them all 😂.
Haha thank you! They are all pretty well designed imo, big move sets. I think both Cammy and Deejay will be good. Dee Jay especially looks interesting to me because he has the faint on both his fireball and his build in mixup step back
Hello iZonk i learn a lot from your video i really appreciate it. Im new to street fight and im still check i want your opinion about character to play. I love to play a character with focus on footsies and good neutral which characters you suggest to focus 😉 i really appreciate any reply 😊
My favorite character. Fun fact: he is the only character so far who's fighting style is labeled as street fighting. Pretty much he's the only Street Fighter in the whole street fighter Series history.
Mmm not a true puppet archetype but he def is unique with that ranged command grab. His teleport from the void he puts out looks more like Testament if you wanna use the guilty gear example. Guilty Gear has more unique characters usually. Imo Menat in sfv is the only real SF puppet character, and even she isnt on the same level that Zato and Jack-O are on. I think JP is def the most unique char in sf6 so far! Thx for watching ✌️
I wanna play Zangief and Chun Li for my 2 first characters. Not sure where I’ll go from there. I don’t have a hit box so I’ll be playing on a regular controller hopefully it goes well.
I do, I have a trick for that actually. Its called “shoryuken guide - become the next daigo or bonchan”. In that video theres a simple trick on how to train your AA reactions in a match setting 😉
Dee Jay seems so much better than all of his previous iterations! Finally no longer a weaker Guile with better personality but now with his own move set, great stuff
Yup agreed, i’ve learned 7 chars in sfv and most commenters in this thread are naming a handful of characters. Who do you like? Me, I’ll start with Kimberly, I can play shotos and Cammy, but I’m very intrigued by Marisa and Lily 🤩 Jamie looks interesting too
@@iZonkGaming2021 well, I like shotos, mostly Akuma, as well as the Shadaloo bosses, specially Sagat and M. Bison, but I agree that the new challengers look interesting.
You are misunderstanding what a main is. A main isn't the same as a one trick. A main is the character you play most. The character you put the most time into will be the character you are skilled with the most. It doesn't mean it's the only character you play, that is what a one trick is. It's important to have a main and not be a jack of all trades. Most people end up naturally having a main without trying too. Everyone has that one character that they like the best and play at a higher skill level than the other characters they play. Just because Ryu is someone's main doesn't mean that the only person they play. I just wanted to tell you that since you got the idea of a main wrong.
@@ShadowofLegacy Are you sure it's not the same as a one-trick? In a tournament I'd understand that they have to use their best characters, if the goal is to snatch the prize, then nothing else matters but, in friendly or exhibition matches, why wouldn't they try at least changing characters once in a while? Is it too hard to do that? Or am I being too demanding? Personally I find it very boring to rely on the same character over and over again, random select is what I enjoy the most.
E.Honda, he is also a charge character with forward moving specials that are hard to punish for opponents. Off course Bison has a ton of plus on block moves but that is not a thing in SF6. If you play Bison for the esthetics, the strong evil guy, you go for JP however he has a totally different play style and control type so I’d go Honda if you want some one a little more similar
@iZonk Gaming great thanks! I mained Guile first since that's who I used years ago, and knew. Once I went to Bison, it opened up my whole game. I had so much more freedom, mix ups, tick throws, PLUS 🙂 frames, oki, meatys etc that I didn't realize were possible with Guile. Because of that, im not even interested in using Guile in 6. I can't be stuck in crouch back anymore lol. I'll try e honda and DeeJay in 6, thanks. I was thinking JP as well.
Ohh you have some Guile experience? Def try out fDee Jay, thats a great idea. he seems super interesting honestly! I never play charge characters but if I would try one, its 100% Dee Kay in this game 😎
@iZonk Gaming yep some experience with Guile, I was only able to get to Ultra Gold with Guile, but Super Platinum with Bison. Im sure I could've made Ultra Platinum with Bison actually if i put in lab time which I never did. That's one of thing I plan to focus on first in sf6. I didn't really understand how to use training mode in SFV.
Ah nice, I plan on a video to explain how the pressure works in sf6 and how to train it, lets hope another beta is announced (April 20th capcom will do a big 30 minute show on sf6)
@iZonk Gaming yeah I was suprised sakura wasn't on base roster tbh. I'll definitely try out Kimberly, but I'll make the switch if either of those 2 get added.
There is no advice on how to pick your main in this video lol. It’s just saying the good aspects of each character. So how would one person know which character suits them? Where’s the ‘how to pick your main’? Aspect. You could do it like ‘if you like to act defensively and watch the opponent and react to them, and shut them down… try these characters. Etc
True, theres a reason to pick any of them, cant really go wrong, but i could’ve added that yes. Any qualities you are looking for? Im glad to give suggestions through the comments to still provide that aspect 🫡
@@iZonkGaming2021 I’m ok to pick for myself, because I’ve been playing since SF2. But the title of this video seems like it’s aimed at giving advice to new players on how to pick a main. But there’s no real advice here for matching a player’s style or mentality to a character. You could make a video like that, for instance players that want to push buttons and attack all the time would be suited to a rush down character, and list those. Or maybe even list characters that are easy to learn, through to characters that are very technical, like Chun li.
Haha had me for a sec. I do like how his fireball are good enough to play sf2 style neutral and his shoryukens are now all air invincible so it is more viable to have that style as a baseline ✌️
@@iZonkGaming2021 i always gravitate towards the jack of all trades characters for some reason. apart from melee where i play marth, but the nature of melee means there isn't actually a jack of trades character.
Ryu Ken and Luke all fit that I feel but I like how they all have different mechanics (a hadoken powerup, a charge knuckle timing and the ability to combo tatsu into dp, meterless)
@@iZonkGaming2021 guile right looks like melee fox, master of all trades 😅. yeah o get the feeling that from a design/marketing perspective that luke is the 'ryu' for people under 20.

🤣 too much choice!

Great stuff Zonk! The wait is almost over aaaa

Honda not beefy enough for you?
@@SuperJJParker Haha my bad xD, Honda and Blanka would be great.
Jamie, Cammy, Dee Jay, and Marisa are my day 1 mains
You already have the perfect screen name for a Jamie main !
The one and only Zonk !!!
Who you picking on day 1??
I'm so excited to try out JP
Roster is severely lacking in the looks department. Looks that Vega would single-handedly provide. Vega for DLC.
Yeeeeah I'm just gonna go with Juri and Cammy because of....reasons.

I will consider it! Spoiler; will include my guys Sagat and Cody 🤩
@@iZonkGaming2021 Ah sounds good
Chun li main for life but I’ll try every character and have a rotating lineup
They all look so good. How do I choose? lol. I was convinced to get the new SF6 when they showcased Cammy new design but I definitely will stay for Marisa.
Can’t go wrong with those!
Dee Jay is definitely a Hyprid character now...charge and motion moves.

Thank you! Neutral and footsie focussed… i’d say Luke, Ken, Chun-Li, Ryu…those seem solid choices in that archetype.
@@iZonkGaming2021 cheers mate I really appreciate it
Deejay could be a motion input or even hybrid. Omega sf4 had Deejay as a motion character haha
Thats my hope, then I could go for him!
For me, my main Cammy and JP... but, if Akuma came, he's my 2nd main.
Looking forward to your JP take aways, he seems very interesting!
We need Cody back in SF6!
My favorite character.
Fun fact: he is the only character so far who's fighting style is labeled as street fighting. Pretty much he's the only Street Fighter in the whole street fighter Series history.
He is also my fav character as you can tell by the channels name haha 😎
JP is very unique in SF series he looks like Zato from guilty gears , but i dont know if he is a true puppet archtype.
Mmm not a true puppet archetype but he def is unique with that ranged command grab. His teleport from the void he puts out looks more like Testament if you wanna use the guilty gear example.

@@iZonkGaming2021 ok thanks love the videos
As im mainly an MK guy, Dee Jay looks soooo good. Nothing speaks to me louder than insane 50/50s. Those of you that played MK X will know...... 🤣👊
Dee Jay seems so much better than all of his previous iterations! Finally no longer a weaker Guile with better personality but now with his own move set, great stuff
All I know is I'm going to main Ryu, Jamie, E. Honda, Juri, and Chun li.
Always been a super casual player, so it’s hard to move away from good old Ryu. I really like Juri though.
Ryu is solid this game, he’s good :) go for it @ juri, the open beta is right now, you can try her!
Cammy can charge all grounded moves by the looks. Not just Holligan.
Oh yea spiral arrow too right, sick
I want Poison but for now it’s gonna be Ryu
Personally I don't believe in that "Picking a main character" thing, I don't like the idea of playing just one character and ignoring the rest.

Zonk, who from SFV plays similar to Marisa?
I’d say Abigail, Birdie or Alex. I’d go Alex!
@@iZonkGaming2021 Thank you!
Last SF I played was EX3 and had lots of fun playing garuda. Who is the closest to him in play style? 😅
I havent played the EX games yet so I dont know! I do know there is a costume of him for Akuma in sfv. In curious to learn some ex characters!
Definitely playing everyone but the mains are 100% gonna be:
Luke
Marisa
Manon
Deejay
