A brief discussion of ranks in Street Fighter 6

Street Fighter 6 ranked distribution explained

The ranked mode in Street Fighter 6 can be accessed in two ways. One is through Fighting Grounds and the second is by turning on Ranked matchmaking while you are in Battle Hub. Regardless of the step, you will be put into the same Ranked mode, featuring the following rank tiers:

• Rookie
• Iron
• Bronze
• Silver
• Gold
• Platinum
• Diamond
• Master

Each of these ranks is divided into five tiers and you need to go across all of them before ranking up. This rule is applicable until Diamond. Once you hit Master, you have reached the pinnacle of ranks and you will be placed on a leaderboard featuring the best in the world.

How does placement work in Street Fighter 6?

The tier of difficulty you choose will define your placement matches in Street Fighter 6

Ranked placement in Street Fighter 6 is a bit different when compared to other games. The first time you hit the Ranked button, you will be asked to select a difficulty tier. The tiers are as follows:

• Beginner
• Novice
• Intermediate
• Advanced

You need to select one of these four depending on how confident you are when it comes to skill. Once the selection is complete, your ranked journey will begin. You will have to play 10 placement games before getting a rank.

The kind of players you face will depend upon the tier you end up choosing. Apart from that, every character has its own rank. This means if you reached Diamond with Chun Li, does not mean you will be in the same rank as Juri.

You need to play ranked with every character you pick, which makes the ranked mode even more difficult.

How do win streaks work in Street Fighter 6?

CAPCOM

The higher you rank up, the harder it becomes

Every rank in Street Fighter 6 has certain variables. In some ranks, win streaks are enabled, while in others they are not. These are the variables you need to remember when it comes to the ranks in Street Fighter 6:

It is quite clear that the higher you go, the harder it becomes to hold onto your rank. Hence, improving your performance is important as you go higher up. However, there is no rank decay, which means if you are placed in Diamond and stop playing ranked, you will stay there indefinitely.
