Easy guide to punishing every super in Street Fighter 6
Pound for pound the most devastating attacks in fighting games, super combos are naturally meant to carry both high stakes and high rewards. It used to be that it was relatively easy and intuitive to put a hurting on when an opponent rifled off a desperation super that didn't work out, but things are a bit trickier in Street Fighter 6.
Where players previously just had to keep track of one super per potential opponent, that number is up to three now. What's more, the nuanced Drive System makes pulling off the best punishes a little more pinpointed and so it's likely you've missed out on round or even game-wining punishes for lack of on the spot knowledge. Don't worry, we've got something to make sure that never happens again.

Exploit discovered that allows Kenshi to refresh the Sento Stance's ancestor puppet after taking a hit in Mortal Kombat 1
Kenshi is generally regarded as one of the best characters in Mortal Kombat 1. This is mostly due to how his Sento Stance is capable of temporarily turning Kenshi into a puppet character.
To prevent Sento Stance from getting too out of hand, the developers added a few countermeasures that players can take advantage of against an opposing Kenshi player using Sento Stance. However, it turns out that there may be an unintentional way of circumventing one of the main ways of dealing with the stance.

Ranking the top 10 characters in Street Fighter 6 is hard, but we did it anyway
The Street Fighter 6 widely agrees that Ken, Luke, and JP take up the top three spots on the game's tier list right now, but confidently filling in even just the next two spots is proving surprisingly difficult.
Chun-Li, Cammy, Dee Jay, Juri, and Guile all feel like they could be matter of fact "top five" characters, but really only two of them can be if we accept the aforementioned best three. In our most recent episode of Talk and Block, Catalyst and I offer up and debate each others' top 10 tier lists.

Dragon Ball FighterZ first released nearly six years ago in the midst of the wider change over to rollback netcode across fighting games, but it was stuck with the old-school delay based system that many players have found issues with.

New anti-rage quit feature added to Street Fighter 6
If there's one thing the fighting game community can agree on, it's that people who dip out of matches early when losing (rage quitters) are just the worst. You spend your time, you risk your rank, you earn a win, and your opponent decides to take their ball and go home before the victory gets logged.
Such things can very much still happen in Street Fighter 6, but the latest update makes things a little worse for rage quitters thanks to a new screen that pops up when someone pulls such shenanigans.
