After their regular maintenance period, Street Fighter 6 is back online, but now with a whole new feature— the Legend rank.
Up until now, the highest rank in Street Fighter was Master which has quite a few people in it already. The rules of Master rank is that once you're in, you cannot fall back out again. This is a very good thing as players no longer have to deal with the anxiety of dropping out of their league rank.
However, as announced at the Capcom Showcase for Tokyo Game Show, a new rank has now been added which is called the Legend rank. This is a rank above the Master rank and will be available to only the top 500 players in the Master League phase.
Master League is a new feature added to Street Fighter 6 which is a style of ranked that places players on a leaderboard according to the number of points accumulated. These points reset at the end of each quarter. This means that players are always striving to be at the top.
