The Street Fighter franchise has been a revolutionary and iconic fighting game series since Street Fighter II (1991) popularized the genre. With the release of Street Fighter 6, however, players are questioning whether a reset of online rankings is needed.
The reset of online rankings is usually a hot topic of debate for online competitive gaming, but the potential of Street Fighter 6 has left many gamers wondering if this reset could be necessary. Players are hoping that the game will introduce some new features that could potentially reset the rankings of the game’s online leaderboards in order for players to have a “fresh start” so they can compete on equal footing.
The idea of a reset of online rankings is especially poignant in Street Fighter due to its long-standing competitive nature. Street Fighter has had many successful competitive tournaments over the years but resetting the rankings could make the game more accessible for new players as it will create a more level playing field. Not only that, but it will also reduce the competitive gap between players, allowing for a more challenging and balanced competitive environment.
Furthermore, many players are hoping that Street Fighter 6 will introduce features which will facilitate the resetting of rankings such as an improved matchmaking system, or a timer or points system that will reset rankings periodically in order to ensure that rankings are up to date and that “more skilled” players aren’t getting an unfair advantage.
Only time will tell if Street Fighter 6 will thrive, but many players are hoping that the game will not only introduce exciting new features, but also pave the way for a reset of online rankings that will be integral in creating a level playing field and a more balanced competitive environment.
