Street Fighter 6’s Biggest Update in Years Adds Ingrid, New Modes, and Free Costumes

As Street Fighter 6 ties a bow around its third season, the final update arrives with a range of news for gamers, ranging from new fighters and content to bug fixes and balance updates. We’ve known that Ingrid would be the final addition to the Season 3 DLC fighter list, with our first look at her gameplay arriving last month, and that update has now arrived with today’s update. Be sure to check out our coverage of her gameplay reveal for more of what to expect from her in-game performance.

Ingrid isn’t the only new content coming to Street Fighter 6 this update, however. Visually, gamers can check out the new outfits dropping to see if there’s a snazzy new look for their main that they’d rather be donning the next time they go into combat.

Additionally, the update brings with it some new game modes to try out with their avatars. Random Avatar Matches will pair you off with other players’ avatars online, with balances in place to level the playing field for those who have not leveled up their avatars as much. If you’d still like a new way to level up your avatar, you’re covered there, too, as you can now have Avatar Arcade matches against computer opponents.

The update isn’t just about adding new things to the game, however, as it also comes with some standard bug fixing and gameplay balancing. The main area of focus on this latest round of fixes and tweaks pertains to throws, with balancing mechanics adjusting the impact of throws as well as interactions with projectiles. Changes have been made both to how your Drive Gauge goes up when escaping a throw during the pre-attack invincibility frames and increases to opposing Super Art gauges as a result of a successful throw used as a punish.

In addition to the new content, general updates and bug fixes, individual fixes have been applied to the following fighters:

• Alex
• Chun-Li
• C. Viper
• Dhalsim
• Ed
• Elena
• Guile
• Jamie
• JP
• Juri
• Kimberly
• Mai
• Marisa
• Sagat
