Street Fighter 6 July 24 patch notes – Rashid, Master League & more

Street Fighter 6 has published the full patch notes for its July 24 update, which introduced Rashid as its first post-launch character.

Street Fighter fans patiently waited seven years for the sixth installment of the franchise to launch – and it has not disappointed. And the fighting title has no plans of slowing down, either.

On July 24, Rashid of the Turbulent Wind made his Street Fighter 6 debut as part of the Year 1 DLC. Besides Rashid, the game will release A.K.I., Ed, and Akuma as additional fighters.

Alongside Rashid’s introduction, Street Fighter 6 has unveiled patch notes that include the addition of a Master League. Additionally, updates related to Drive Parry and cancelable Light Attacks. Check out the full details of the patch below.

Updates – All Fighters

Drive Parry

Power Up Super Arts

• An issue where character behavior would become unnatural if hit by certain attacks at the exact moment that the power-up boost provided by this Super Art expired has been fixed

Assisted Combo (1st hit)

Cancelable Light Attacks

• Adjustments have been made so that a Cancel Drive Rush can activate even when a light attack whiffs
