Street Fighter 6 emergency hotfix update patch notes released
Street Fighter 6 received its big Season 3 update earlier this week, and it seems like it brought some unintended side effects along with it.
Capcom had to perform emergency maintenance for Street Fighter 6 overnight to implement a hotfix update to the game, which they've now released the patch notes for.
The new update intends to fix a handful of unintended changes made to the Season 3 update for Marisa, Terry, Zangief, Cammy and Rashid.
Strangely, Marisa's text here seems incomplete, however, we believe they're talking about her Dimachaerus special judging by the clips we had been seeing online.
On top of that, it seems Capcom has fixed the issue with Juri in the V-Rivals mode, which accidentally leaked an apparent new costume coming to Street Fighter 6.
You can check out the full list of patch notes below, which can also be found on the official Street Fighter website.
Warning Regarding ReplaysAs the battle version has not changed you will still be able to play back replays created since the last update, however, it is possible that replays containing any of the above moves may not behave properly.
V-RivalAn issue that resulted in an unexpected outfit being applied to Sim Sim: Juri has been fixed. Sim Sim: Juri can once again be selected in V-Rival.
Rewards'Elena: Outfit 1 DX Color 2' has been added to the Master Phase rewards.
Swing Combination (Standing Heavy Punch > Heavy Kick)An issue occurred where it became impossible to connect with Cammy’s Super Art 2 after a Swing Combination hit. To fix this issue, the Super Art cancel timing has been adjusted to behave as it previously did.
Fixed so that the second attack can no longer be canceled by Super Arts.
Arabian Cyclone (↓↙← + Kick, during a forward jump)When the hitbox was expanded for the Overdrive version of this move the hitbox for the normal version was also unintentionally expanded. To fix this issue, the hitbox for the normal version has been adjusted to match its previous state.
Power Drive (Medium Punch > Heavy Punch)Advantage on both hit and block were unintentionally changed, so the recovery has been reduced by 1 frame so that the advantage for this move is as it was previously.
Overdrive Russian Suplex (→↘↓↙← + Two Kicks, when near opponent)Fixed an issue that caused the damage of this move to drop from 3200 to 2600.
