SF6 Season 2 Changes: Manon (Buffed but is it enough ?!) 

honestly her twirl really needed longer I-frames to projectiles. and her low ex-ballerina should probably go under some projectiles. Since she is geared towards a more fluid counter part to the more stone like marisa her dodging capabilities should be better.

They really needed to make her anti fireball game better. This is a big oversight imo

She still gonna be low tier not so suitable for competition I think. I'm pretty sure she's another one of those characters that Capcom has no idea what to do with. It's kinda sad because she has one of the best designs in the game visually and moveset

At first I was a little disappointed in the changes especially to her spin kick actually working but I feel like it’s enough for me to personally deal with her shortcomings and have loads of fun with her again. It is hard to move to another character I love her so much! Edit: Honestly the level 1 supposed consistency change is the highlight for me, so many times where I just decided not to use it for round enders or close to but have lost trust in it because it whiffs when it looks like it should have hit.

Just wanted to say thanks for the video! As someone who's new to fighting games (SF6 is my first), your explanations are really helpful & easy to understand~ I'm excited for the Manon changes c:

This is steps in the right direction, but still feels like Capcom is afraid to make a grappler good ever since Gief in SFIV. The back heavy punch is for sure the biggest thing here, but yeah her Grand Fouetté definitely needed more of a buff than what they gave it.

Thanks for breaking this down so quickly 🎉

Cheers for this bud! 8:25 It's looking promising....

I'm just a spectator and a long time fan of the game. But seeing iDoms performance at Redbull has turned me against Manon. My feeling is if iDom had a different main he would have done a lot better.

Thank you for the video!!

+1 Back HP looks good on paper but in practice it has way too much pushback and you can't confirm into anything without using 3 bars.

Lots of quality of life changes. Not the main change I wanted, but they did add another use to medals and made b+HP make sense so I'm hopeful. I honestly feel like their main focus should have been on spin rather than any of the other stuff she got, but I'll take it.

thank you Mura

Happy for you, man

great vid man. i do agree that they need to help her anti-fireball game like you said and some others. i still have found the super 1 is pretty inconsistent in that combo you showed.

I don't mind if most are just Qol change.They are all actually needed. My most welcome is that crouch lk can now be combo without worry the distance. Good Lord, how many times I can't connect for complete combo with crouck lk after doing drive cancel. Makes waste 3 drive gauge for gaining nothing.

The Power creep in this game is going to be INSANE.

Some stuff I found that wasn't in the change list was her heavy punch target combo seems to always leave them point blank now so you can always either cr lk st lp or heavy command grab. Also her command throws leave her further away 😞

With the general damages nerfs to many characters, command throw characters that can just force easy 50/50s with drive rush normals are an even greater threat.

What’s the first song that plays in the video? Thanks for the Manon updates!

7:00 the change is for side switch in the corner

Some cool buffs but still frustrating to play as her, I guess the game is just not for me, will wait the next characters

She got waaaaaay more than I expected. Let's go queens! 🙌

Thanks! that cr.MK buff is really interesting maybe her best buff

Damn, I really liked Manon, but all she got were pity frames in this update.

Let’s see if it’s enough

Insane

I just foind your channel and very happy woth the ease of explanation. I play Manon but I absolutely suck with her. Can you make a Guide for us playing with her in Season 2? Thanks and subscribed

Plus on block normal? Thank you Capcom.

Kind of wish they made her anti fireball game a little more reliable. She still needs to play an honest ground game, but at least the medal gimmick for her lvl3 will play more into her "Power" type playstyle Capcom listed in the character select lol. That and the changes to to Parry, Drive Rush and having Recovery Drive reversal may help her a little more for her ground game.

I'm actually having trouble now doing her Manège Doré. Not happy 😒

It's really annoying dealing with AKI and her fireball. The Manon spin NEVER gets past it.

Manon going to be a beast

we eating good🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

She got buffed YES... but only Finally to play S1 properly... we are on Season 2 ... This might be enough to Push her out of bottom 1, but prob not bottom 5

Nice buffs. Still hate her crouch animations though.

Im gonna make a guess that manom is actually good now, the back hp is one of the main reasons for that, being now a legit guess for comand grab on dr, for a comand grab caracter that is huge

Actually, they buffed her a lot, I don't think she is top tier now, but definitely she can fight back now

Not a tournament viable character, but you can yolo casino on ranked.

On one hand she needed the buffs but on the other man I hate fighting Manon.

Manson is fair

My friend, Manon received huge buffs to her striking and pressure. She can deal huge damage now while most of the cast received global damage nerf. Also, the changes to parry and the addition of recovery drive reversal are a buff for her. She will be a threat this season, a real threat.

First! - and a manon main!

i also want manons bush back :p

She's top 3 now

We all know that these buffs are useless, in fact... the core of the game is the drive rush and it has the worst in the entire world and the galaxy. Why don't they delete it and that's it? I'm very angry, I'll have to change...

Random must be pleased. I feel as if she is now a top tier character.

Aki next please 🙏
