Fuudo Outlines Unique Street Fighter 6 Tierlist

Former Evo Champion and Japanese great, Fuudo, released a Street Fighter 6 tier list on his last stream. Tier lists aren't uncommon as they are a popular, yet controversial, topic of discussion as people talk about who their favourites are. 

Fuudo's tier list is unique in that it focused instead on what he called the fighters' genealogy. This meant that he grouped characters in clans from the Zangief clan, to the Honda clan. These clans are basically archetypes where he placed the characters. 

These were his groupings:

Zangief Tribe: Marisa, Manon, Lily Zangief

Ryu Clan: Ken, Chun li, Luke, Juri, Rashid, Ryu, Jamie

Dhalsim Clan: Dhalsim

Balrog Clan: Cammy, Kimberly, A.K.I

Honda Tribe: Blanka, E. Honda

Guile Tribe: JP, Guile, Dee Jay

It should be noted that Balrog is actually Vega due to the Japanese translation. It was also interesting to see Jamie under the Ryu clan as he has no projectile. But it seems he was there because he is one of the protagonists of the series. 

Fuudo was part of the Reject Fight Night that took place yesterday and his team took third place behind Kakeru's and Daigo's. This meant his team did not reach the Grand Final. 

However, things have been rosier for him in Street Fighter League Japan, where his team, DetonatioN FocusMe made it into the second stage on the final day by the skin of their teeth thanks to some impressive late displays. It was Fuudo who was on the hot seat to help his team win the anchor match and the whole match. He did this and was able to help consign Good 8 Squad to the nether regions of the table.
