Onigaya Ten Gets an Opponent’s Verdict in Street Fighter 6: Good Instincts, Different Level

NEO-PORTE — Onigaya Ten spent a Wednesday stream of Street Fighter 6 working through matches in the game’s Hub, and the line that stuck came from an opponent. After a string of hard losses to one strong player, the Neo-Porte streamer read out a message the player had left for him: “You’ve got good instincts. It’s just that we’re on different levels.” He said the opponent had been strong and had “left the words of a strong player,” and played on.

He opened by talking about the sudden cold, noting that snow had fallen in some places, and said he wanted to play matches that day. He also said he cannot talk well while fighting and hoped to at least say aloud what he was thinking mid-match. Through the evening he kept saying he could not manage it, and near the end he wondered whether he played better when he stayed quiet.

In the Hub he waited for a free seat among a crowd and took on a run of opponents, including a Legend-rank player; afterward he said simply that the player had been strong. He later moved on to ranked matches and mentioned being back in Grand Master rank. Chat cheered the return.

Much of the second half turned into a discussion with chat about the character Manon. Viewers floated changes they would like, such as a wall bounce on a heavy-punch counter hit and more advantage on a standing light punch, and asked how Manon players force an opponent into Drive Gauge burnout. He read the ideas aloud and agreed with several, saying Manon players were doing their best with what the character has.

He closed the stream at about an hour and 52 minutes, saying it was a short one but that his motivation for Street Fighter 6 was running high and he wanted to keep going at a relaxed pace. Chat saw him off with thanks for the stream.
