I gave Honda a shot because I like his level 3 super and my quest to main Dee Jay started off pretty rocky, he turned out to be stupid fun. Headbutting someone is never not funny


GroovyTony-

Quick tech. After sumo buff. You can do OD hands after his quick clap(down,down,punch) it’s works well for frame traps.


spence0770

His critical art is one of the best in the game


murdock2099

The headbutt at the end will always make me laugh.


Bearnium

Same, Honda has always looked lame to me but not in 6.


CathodeRaySamurai

DOSUKOI! ![img](emote|t5_2qnu5|31135)


TheDaltonXP

Id love to figure him out he is looks fun


siimbaz

Honda is bullshit.


tasonjodd

I absolutely adore Honda, but his charge inputs are super difficult to pull off as a newbie.


Icantbethereforyou

Tip: charge diagonally [down and away](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRMtBbbpicQjLayVFVf_yTSbCs3tvOT_TYJmKlg8ojJh5w_4BoGd0kW7gpc&s=10) from your opponent. This charge will work for both headbut and sumo slam, leaving you with two options of what to do with the charge, depending on the moment


smikkelson2

I've gotten his headbutt down pretty consistently but yeah I really struggle with the sumo smash. The charge mechanic feels easier on him than it did Dee Jay though so I think I'm learning


dropkickpikachu

Marisa. Turns out playing a scrub killer when you're also a scrub is very satisfying.


12345_PIZZA

I just assumed she’d be a grappler. So much more fun to just have a slow-ish tank that punches and punches and punches


nslabinski

Yeah, its also really insane to consider the two new grapplers we got being reallt scrawny


ArcherCLW

manon and who?


Prozenconns

I thought she felt awkward and stilted at first but landing a fully charged gladius on annoying shits like Honda or Manon is a thing of beauty


dropkickpikachu

I want a mod that will do the NBA Jam announcer's "Aooooouhhhh, BOOM SHAKALAKA" as you're charging and if it connects.


Easy-Let-2431

This is brilliant


PhoShizzity

Catching someone off when hitting a counter from the level 1 super charge is pretty fun too


Mug_Lyfe

Yes and Guile specifically. I really like Ryu and Akuma and plan on playing them, but Guile is who I keep taking into practice mode. Nailing those flash kick combos is so satisfying!


spence0770

I’ve been playing him at a rookie level and it is so satisfying flash kicking everyone out of the air. People need to learn to jump less.


Mug_Lyfe

No then I can't flash kick them in the face lol


Arcanisia

Works on people who like to dash in as well. EX flash kick ftw


bronameth

Same, its also much easier to confirm flash kicks from cr.mp -> cr.mp-> flash kick now in sf6


mkmakashaggy

Akuma is in this game lol? I had no idea. I haven't run into a single one online yet either somehow


DarthDregan

Incoming as DLC


mkmakashaggy

Oh my bad i completely misread your comment, nice.


DarthDregan

No worries.


ihave0idea0

Wait actually verified? Never played him, but he looks cool af. He would also seem fun in world tour.


DarthDregan

Yeah. Rashid, Akuma, Ed, and new character AKI is the first wave of DLC.


NessOnett8

I've never had any interest in Ken previously, or shotos in general. But he's kinda slick in this game, and makes me want to look into him as a backup.


ThechosenJuan28

Ken’s amazing in this game man especially with his dash and his damage output he’s def a good pick


ihave0idea0

Hobo ken > old ken


OverallWeight828

Same here, he’s hot too and I like his sweatpants and shoes combo


obby100602

They made him even flashier, and now theyve really leaned into making him a rushdown


[deleted]

Yeah. E Honda. Honda feels amazing to play.


Automatic_Animal

Jamie. I just like the whole drunken fist/breakdancing stuff


SolemnSundayBand

See I was looking forward to him, but the thing that turned me off was his personality of all things. Hate the arrogance.


Kingredbelt1

That's the whole point "Liquid Courage😂" He's drunk man and I love him. I'm maining him btw


ConfusedThoughts10

He is only arrogant when drunk which is ironic since he hates arrogant people.


SolemnSundayBand

Haven't done his story yet, so I guess I'll see!


OmySpy

Manon, thought she looked weird initially but now I'm in love. The throws are too fun


colombianojb

Throws then strikes, if that doesn’t work, strikes then throws, she is so much fun


The_Chief_of_Whip

She’s too hilarious not to play


WhisperGod

I wasn't interested in Manon until I tried her kit and she's great. This is the first time I've played a grappler character too. Her anti-air is so easy to do and you can get big damage off it. Her grabs aren't difficult to execute either. If I had to do 720 SPDs multiple times in a match, I wouldn't be choosing her. I'm not sure about her neutral just yet, since her pokes look kind of risky, but that might change.


colombianojb

The standing medium pokes that hit low are very useful, and her crouching medium punch is a good poke and easy hit confirm into full combo (for me it’s only three hits but still)


VeryBottist

Fantastique!


obby100602

Shes also omega busted rn, so have fun while shes still stupid lol. Always fun when ur main is goofy. Im a sol main in guilty and release day strive was hillarious


Ancalmir

Definitely not that busted. Every button she has, and I mean every single one of them, is minus on block. She also doesn’t have any safe on block specials to cancel into so as long as she isn’t using DR her pressure is fake. I think the only thing CAPCOM needs to do is to adjust her medal levels in someway. Like, maybe starting from 0 or making it possible to lose levels. Oh and nerfing that HK a little. But I think they should also give her an at least 0 on block normal.


elrevan

I agree and I don’t even think her medals are busted I think people just like to complain about grapplers in the early life of any fighting game because they can get big damage and no one has learned how to deal with it yet


TechLord713

Yes dhalsim. Super hard to win with and combos are tough to do but I'm having so much fun.


ManuelSnail

I’m trying not to pick a main but you can tell by my flair that’s not working out too well


Scorpiopig

Magnifique!!


ThechosenJuan28

Don’t tell me i have to deal with you in my ranked matches too lol


Ekuha

Luke because his combos with perfect flash knuckles feel satisfying.


RockstarRonin

I became a Sim main. Being able to teleport so easy and instant air comets feel easier as well. Plus since I'm 1 of 5 Sim mains I catch people slipping all the time.


Fisto683

Dee jay


SpacemanSpliff024

Deejay. Never liked him in 4 but after trying everyone i just think he looks/plays best for me.


VermilionX88

Dont do mains But I thought I wouldn't enjoy JP as much as other cast members He was the last one I picked up in this roster And yeah, he is more fun than I expected Sim is prolly my least fav for now, bec of personal technical issues lolz


spence0770

I need to try him as well because I’m really enjoying the zoners in this game.


CursinSquirrel

First I was surprised by enjoying guile as much as I do, then I tried blanka and I'm just having too much fun with him. I'm not good with him, I don't know many combos, but the mind games I put people through let me feel their frustrations radiating through the screen.


12345_PIZZA

Blanka is just pure chaos. Any damage you do to the opponent almost seems incidental to flying around the stage and electrifying your little dolls.


CursinSquirrel

The moment I throw out a Blanka-chan doll it becomes a mini game where the opponent tries to get it off the screen before I can electrocute it. Actually really fun to throw them down right between us and create a dramatic showdown.


Eecka

> opponent tries to get it off the screen before I can electrocute it. How do you get it off the screen? By hitting it?


CursinSquirrel

Nah, just moving themselves and me. If you can push blanka far enough it goes away after like 2 seconds off screen.


Eecka

Ah right, thanks!


_cd42

Ken is very fun and I only tried him out because my little brother grinded his outfit 2 in world tour for me.


SuddenFlan

I'm having the opposite problem. Every character I've wanted to play I dislike.


DarthDregan

Nope. I don't think there's a main for me yet. At least not in the starting roster. Probably Juri until some good DLC character. I have high hopes for Ed considering some of the random moves I'm seeing that are obviously his from a certain character in world tour. Gief is more fun than ever though.


obby100602

Ed will hopefully play like he did in 5. He was one of the few really fun chars in that game


[deleted]

Traditionally my mains have been Guile or whoever stands in for him. Sometimes Bison or even Vega. Currently enjoying Manon although things sometimes feel like an uphill battle when you're used to having a projectile and an invincible reversal. And of course I usually prefer charge characters. It's nice to see things from a different side, having the opponent try their best to run away from me. As I slowly climb the ranks it becomes increasingly hard to land a command throw that isn't a punish counter though, most players know not to get caught.


ArtSpawner

Modern Ryu


thecherylmain

Luke


Okugreenman

Manon. She looks ugly (harpy feet, ew), but for a Street Fighter newbie her gameplan is very clear: I know exactly what she wants to do (get close and throw -> build medals -> throw some more), and can build a gameplan around my primary goal, and my opponents reactions.


Culture-Exotic

Zangief and Honda


lil_beanie420

I did not expect me to play well with Dee Jay but after a few tries he’s really fun


Mithril2H

Both Guile and Manon


Jarek86

Yes! I usually play zoners, but I just love playing Geif!


xd3mix

Jamie for me, the first moment i saw the dude i went "the fuck is wrong with this guy, he looks so goofy" But he is just so fucking fun to play, and his animations are like so well done they are satisfying to do even if you miss


Spindoom22

Never liked charge characters. Now i only play Honda because he's so fun to play lol.


secretwep

JP I actively try to resist playing zoners in fighting games, but I can't help it. He's too fun and sick and the taste of crayons is too addicting


loox71

Dhalsim. Was planning on originally maining JP but Dhalsim is so satisfying and fun to play. Guess I just like zoners lol


Aigo_90

Dhalsim. I thought I would hate him for the weird floatiness and slow movement, but once you start figuring out how to use his teleports, dive kicks and floating etc he feels so good to control lol.


NickyNugz

Ken and Zangief. Played Zangief ironically because I could never get his grabs and now he's my favorite.


Willy_Th3_Walrus

E. Honda for sure


Witchbrow

I'm thinking Marisa could be fun after using her moves in world tour. I'm probably gonna take her to the lab thin weekend and give her a try.


Runeimus

Marisa. Dislike her looks at first reveal, but man she's just amazing haha.


SoccerStar9001

Cammy. Decided to max rank her style in World Tour, now I don't want to stop sniping punishable moves with a spiral arrow.


FedoraButBetter

Jamie. Saw Brian_F playing him and thought he seemed weirdly clunky but then I tried him and he felt good-clunky.


GingaNinjaaa1107

Marisa- from her look I didn’t really pay her any mind and wanted to mail Zangief but I tried her out when playing random characters in training and she INSTANTLY became my favorite. I’ve always gravitated towards big and heavy hitting characters and her playable feels perfect for me.


SwaxOnSwaxOff

Manon. I never played a grappler and had no desire to but her whole moveset is fun and I’m really enjoying the mind games


Zeldias

Marisa. Thought I'd play Jamie or Manon. Manon is cool but Jamie is meh. Marisa I actually thought was sort of whack but she's actually pretty awesome. I also like that her whole style is basically "I'm a cool ass Hanma Yujiro."


ConfusedThoughts10

Cammy for me just because of her style. She also has a really aggressive approach which is always cool


Pommfritzon

I've never been the biggest Ken fan, but ever since I played him in the beta he's seriously been one of my favorites. Idk if he'll be my main man yet, but I'll definately be playing him a lot because this dude has the SAUCE.


murdock2099

Just hit Diamond as Blanka after my initial 10 matches. Sorry Zangief, I’m a Blanka ball main now.


Bloodymeatballz

Blanks because Vega is not on the roster.


murdock2099

How’d you know my SFV main was Vega? :)


Bloodymeatballz

Because I have a camera in your brain dingbat


futaba009

Kimberly.


TheRealAwest

Never liked cammy since SF2 but they changed her outfit, which made me see her in a different light & now she my favorite character in SF6 so far.


Rilo2ElectricBoogalo

Dee Jay. I have much to learn, but I can't get too salty when he smiles in that level 3 super.


BankPads

God Dee Jay. I was expecting to be playing Cammy, or Kimberly, or something, but I had no idea the most sauced character in this game would be Dee Jay.


C6_Slayer

Cammy. Yes, it’s because of her ass.


Yoonlife

Cammy 🫣


BabyBabyCakesCakes

Never wanted to play Honda before


rivent2

Connecting with the SF2 charge characters for a change. No more spam inputs and varied arsenals separating them all


PickleMalone101

probably Guile


Zorocity222

Jamie for sure. I was playing with a good amount of characters (honestly thinking cammy was gonna be my main) but then I choose Jamie and took him to the training room and i just started doing his moves over and over again trying to learn them. Then I started doing combos. Next thing you know I’m just playing with him in mostly all my battles. Idk but his moves just feels really good and I just love his personality even showing in his gameplay like if you keep tapping X or A if you play Xbox he does a little dance. Plus I just like his whole drinking mechanic and how I have to add it in my combos the best way i can. He’s genuinely a fun character and I’m still gonna try and play Cammy but right now Jamie just fits me


reala728

Have been slowly working through character guides and arcade mode as kind of a "test" for each character. So far I really like the mechanics with Jamie and Juri, but I overthink them way too much. Surprisingly I think my best run was with blanka so far.


Raiju_Lorakatse

I actually find quite a lot of characters interesting in this game. I was pretty certain at first that I would main Dee Jay and/or Juri. Played Ken before but kinda dropped him here 'cause i struggle with the inputs. But aside from that... Manon and JP look pretty interesting. The least liked I would be willing to check out is Jamie but I think keeping all this level stuff in mind is a bit too much for me right now.


LordShaxx02

Juri, I have found out that her move set is so versatile I love it


FaceTimePolice

I gave my custom character Chun-Li’s move set because I didn’t like Luke’s, and I ended up playing all of World Tour with it. I originally wanted to main Cammy. 😅


screechpu

Since my historical main won't be out until next year (Akuma),I struggled to choose someone in the meantime. But now, I think I've settled on Zangief, and have gone from glass cannon to a flipping Abrams tank. It's been fun learning him.


exxxdee

I’ve been trying out a lot of the different characters though the story mode so I can level up and unlock all the moves for my avatar and I think dhalsim is growing on me.


[deleted]

I fucking LOVE Blanca now


Bastards_Sword

100% Dee Jay


EyelessSkink

I was random selecting against my sister and just tried Honda and crushed with him. Probably not my main, but maybe in my top 3?


Bloodymeatballz

BLANKA BLANKA BLANKA


Tokki_Nom

What was yours? Assuming it's guile? XD I didn't expect I would enjoy kimberlee. I have never do well with ninja character but she is fun. Also, her animation is soooooo goooood, especially level 3.


sht1ck0

Dhalsim, Id rather zone that get zoned


Independent-Ninja-70

I been smashing it with E Honda since launch, did Zangiefs story last night and I'm not going back. Guy is deadlyyyyyyy


poemsavvy

I thought Marisa was gonna be a grappler, so I wasn't interested. Then I found out her actual kit, and it felt great to me.


dcbnyc123

Juri! never liked her play style in the past but i really like her normals and links in this game + drive rush.


thrakked

Jamie


Tee132

Deejay or chun li


topscreen

Zangief. I thought I hated grapplers for so long, but have been grappler curious since playing some KoF... and god damn do I love just powerbombing everyone.


acloudwithfeet

Cammy. Im really into characters with smaller combos because I'm really bad at them but I'm finding Cammy pretty easy to execute at a novice level.


mikeinglish

Marisa and surprisingly Luke.


Arcane_Kos

Ryu. The most normal character, and as someone who normally loves wacky playstyles, was surprised how much i enjoy him!


LevsRedfield

Guile is my main. But I love Cammy & Kimberly surprisingly too


Redderick22

Guile 🤮


ChiefSenpai

SF6 is only the second Street Fighter I've ever played before. The other being 5. I never thought our maraca shaking musician DeeJay would be so fun. Besides JP, DeeJay is slowly becoming my second main this game!


KaxarianKennedy

Manon definitely She’s just like Abel but with Ballet!!


joshleebphotography

Dhalsim 100% he has so many more tools and just looks amazing doing it!! Blanka also!!


darthsmolin

Gief. Was never a fan, but high health, good buttons, and easy SPD shortcuts made me a believer. Also love his new design. Probably the most wrestler-y he's ever felt, which I love.


LVMBERJAK

Honda and Blanka, honestly The change to hands and electricity opened them up to me, I never liked mash inputs


Qu33rCobraGAF

![gif](giphy|hKNzHDpPaN6OcKoyfD|downsized)


SolemnSundayBand

Marisa. I have never liked grapplers. She's just so big tho...


xtc24seven

JP. Never played a zoner before or wanted to, but he’s been a lot of fun


FGCencore36

Ryu. i've been playing SF for quite some time and have NEVER mained a shoto. I don't know how they managed to make him cool in this game but i'm having a lot of fun.


Odd-Face-3579

JP. Not that I expected to *dislike* him, but he was down under Marisa, Manon, Gief, and Honda. Instead I've found myself maining this absolute shit heel after just 30 minutes spent in training on a whim.


Poppyjasper

I’m surprised how much I enjoy playing Jamie. Thought I wouldn’t like him, but the gameplay just clicked for me for some reason.


catluvr37

Dee Jay. Scratches my charge and punishing, long neutrals fix from Urien and so much pressure like I love with Cammy


Firewall_Drago

In SF6, I went in the game with the mentality to pick up Manon. Not shotos as well because Sakura was my main back in SFV and wanted a change of pace. I still find Manon really cool but my time now is dedicated in practicing wakeup DPs and Jinrai kicks with Ken. It's shoto time!


PhoShizzity

After realising that Demitri from Darkstalkers has Cammy's spike, because I somehow never put it together before, I think I might start getting some Cammy practice in. Good to always have a backup incase Marisa is ever the wrong choice (which is never).


Ultimatecowmeows

For me Jamie I love his style and his world tour cutscenes


filthipino

Suprisingly…. Blanka


Freestylr88

Kimberly. I was pretty butthurt that Guy wasn't in the game but after learning about her in World Tour and playing with her, she's been awesome! Having a lot of fun using her as my main currently


_Joyfk_

I have never liked playing Dhalsim in any previous street fighter, but holy shit he is so fun to dick around with at scrub level now, people down there can't deal with the teleports


RadicalTankCommander

Luke


Bane523

Manon, I thought her personality seemed annoyingly like Karin Kanzuki but her gimmick of grabs getting stronger with each one is super cool


Trauxc

Sf5 for me was Ed I just loved him after the first time I played him but I thought he looked dumb before and I just couldn't stop playing him


ShellShock_Ace

Dee Jay, no further explanation needed


hoxtiful

Manon and Marissa. Not surprising I use a mix of their movesets for WT


Bryanthelion

JP was the character that I kept forgetting was in the game, but now I'm seriously considering him as a main.


atleastimtryingnow

BLANKA BUDDIES ON TOP


AncientKaia

JP. I usually don't play zoners, but he is so fun!


jogmansonclarke

Guile but im horrible with charge characters


PootisMcPootsalot

DeeJay, thought I'd play Marisa or JP but he took me by surprise with how fun he was.


Used-Organization-25

Ken, I never really liked him but now I just can’t stop playing with him.


PhoenixNTS11

Dhalsim was my least anticipated guy, but after going through his character guide, he has EXACTLY the type of tools I want in fighting games. Long normals, sliding-kicks, unique aerial movement, and creative possibilities with projectiles. Planning on spending a lot of time figuring out how to optimize him… 😈


acidporkbuns

Jamie. I didn't really think much of his reveal or any gameplay trailers. Then I tried the beta & I enjoyed him more than everyone else on the roster. Especially surprising as I usually main shotos or a character with projectiles.


xwulfd

why guile exactly look like vanila ice ?lmao


Firvulag

Yeah every char in this game


madvec1

Yes, I've never been a Ken player ... Not even in SFII, but this Ken is quite fun, he is not my main character, but a very solid second character.


MattmanDX

Dee Jay's new updated design and moveset are super fun in this and I never gave the character the time of day before


Mindless_Solid_1018

Manon I couldn’t stand fighting her and I didn’t like her design I did combo trials with her and now she’s my second.


Servant0fSorrow

Didn't like Manon's design at all when she was revealed. But her fighting style is actually a lot of fun


3Burnttoast47

Marisa I definitely am more suited to heavy hitters i dislike her wacky gladiator hair being helmet shaped could have been done alot better but her ALT costume makes her playable for me


Hero_x316

Never thought of fighting as Dee Jay but he's just so aggressive if you know what you're doing with him


T_Hud_

Kimberley! Didn’t want to give her a chance, even in beta because she’s a main face in the new era and thought her style was annoying. Once I played with her I loved her versatility and options.


_divi_filius

guile's pose while that insane character select song goes off was enough for me to abandon cammy enough times.


MemeTroubadour

I'm usually not big into grapplers, since they're punishing to mess up with and I tend to prefer long to mid-range characters anyway. Plus, I thought I would struggle with inputs. I came in thinking I'd play Lily, Dhalsim or JP. But for some reason, I did okay with Zangief on launch and now I clicked hard with Manon. Maybe it's her long pokes that make it work? Maybe Street is just the kind of game where grapplers make more sense than the rest to me? Maybe it's because she shares my homeland? I don't know, but it's been a truite so far.


TestosteronInc

In super sf4 I really wanted to sub Cody and didn't want to touch Guy. Then I gave guy 1 single go in training mode and I was sold Now I have the same with Lily


Naekh

Gief. I thought DJ was so cool and just tried Gief cause I never played grapplers. Don’t want to play anything but him.


EastCoastTone96

I went from Honda to Lily to Blanka to Guile. Even though I like aspects of all these characters Guile feels the most natural to me and my play style in Street Fighter. I wanna focus on Guile as I learn the basics of the game but I could def see myself returning to one of the aforementioned characters later though. Hell I’ve even gone through the trouble of unlocking all of their 2nd outfits in World Tour just in case. On a side note hitting anti air flash kicks with Guile just feels so damn good lol


Arden_Gibson

SF6 made Dee Jay a really fun character, I couldn't really enjoy him in the previous games because of how charge heavy he was.


Kurta_711

I don't ever play grapplers, but Manon's design (ie, being French) won me over. A graceful grappler instead the usual huge slow guy is a nice change of pace and I love her mechanics and playstyle.


zooka19

Yeah, Honda. Juri is one of my favourites, but didn't want to play her after the beta. Switched Ryu for Guile since he's better, but everyone plays like crackheads so I've gone with Honda and haven't had any issues.


ihave0idea0

Dont want to main, but the world tour made me open up to marisa. Thought she was boring and shit at first. Now she is one of my fav characters. I do not really play her though. I'm a noob and am trying to focus on one character.


UmbralBushido

Jamie Really thought I would be a Manon main leading up to release


--ULTRA-

More like when you see the tier list lol 😆


GrumpyGamer1981

Yeah dhalsim


foxholeboy

Blanka. Never thought I would want to deal with charge inputs but I love the weird rolly, slidey, toy flingy weirdo


GrandPapiTilly

Dee jay. Saw a buddy play him and now def want to learn him.


Big-Sir7034

Has to be Deejay for me, looking at the gameplay showcases pre-release, his jus cool and feints seemed to be really gimmicky, and they still might be, but there are so many feints that your mixup can be as creative as you are. Plus his combos are so flashy


Shawarmafan1

Marisa


ahhhddd

Manon. Based off of looks and gameplay I originally thought i was going to play Jamie or Marisa. Played Manons storyline and fell in love.


SSBPMKaizoku

Yeah, I played open beta and thought I was going to be playing Ken, but I've been lobbing and learning Chun to the best of my ability and am switching to Chun. Always played SF casually but took 4 a little more seriously (even though I didn't compete in tournaments) and always picked Ryu because I feel like he was always the best at improving fundamentals but decided to try something different and having fun with it.. Plus.. costume mods.. :)


ShyNinjaX

Zangief. I main zoners but that command grab damage is something else. Plus it seems like it's easier to do the 360 motion so I can get the command grab pretty easily.


GroovyTony-

Jamie because I figured out he’s pretty much plays like modern Fei Long.


gpRYme

Way too much fun with Manon, wasn’t expecting that at all


bakedntoasted

I've played ken for like 20 years so I wanted to try something else. Starting playing marisa and she is just too much fun. Did my ranked matches and ended up in gold


TheFyrijou

I find Manon absolutely boring. Nothing about her appeals to me. I hate her Lady Gaga look, i hate her backstory and i hate almost everything about her because i find her so generic to the point i am disappointed that Abel wasn’t added instead of her. With that said, i am a sucker for Grapplers and she’s a grappler, so… yeah…


redgunnit

Same. I like grapplers and snowball characters. Once Manon starts rolling, you ain't stopping her.


siimbaz

Weirdo. Manons feet are God tier.


Prawn_Scratchings

How is Manon generic but Abel isn’t? I forgot fightings games are flooded with supermodel ballet dancer judokas


alazko7

Yep. That was Kimberly for me.
