Hoshinone Koron Returns to Street Fighter 6 and Says Her Instincts Came Back Within an Hour

HACONECT — Hoshinone Koron, a HACONECT streamer, said she had regained her feel for Street Fighter 6 after about an hour of play on Thursday, during a midday stream titled around getting that feel back.

She opened by saying she had wanted to play the game for a long time and felt bad that she had not managed it. Playing her favorite character, whom she called Aki-chan, on the game’s Modern controls, she worked through a long run of matches. She said she kept reaching for throws out of habit and sometimes pressed the wrong input, such as a Rush or an Impact in place of the move she meant to use, and she stopped to recall combos near the corner and to look at a page of her own notes.

“It was pretty quick. In about an hour I’ve got my usual way of thinking back. Great.” — Hoshinone Koron, midway through the session

About an hour in, she said that thinking about what to do next had started to come back, and that she was now seeing what to change from one match to the next. She said she enjoyed fighting Mai most because those matches moved so fast and opponents tended to come straight at her, and that win or lose she had fun. She also remarked on how varied the opponents were that day, noting that Blanka, Cammy and Ingrid had not turned up.

Later she faced an unfamiliar character with boulder-based attacks and picked apart how they worked, concluding that a boulder that connects becomes part of the opponent’s combo. She said she had not watched any guides. Late in the session she noted that her first and last opponents were both Jamie, and she unlocked a new outfit for Aki-chan at the end, which she switched between before settling on a color she liked.

She signed off by saying she would be back that evening at 9 p.m. with a stream she had not yet planned, and that she would keep playing Street Fighter in between.
