We must quickly make room before Dan walks in the door
Street Fighter 5 is still technically going through its biggest drought without a balance update in over a year with the release of Champion Edition, but that will change very soon.
Season 5 will drop the new V-Shift mechanics and a number of other changes later tonight / tomorrow, so before that, let’s take a look at how the final level lists for Season 4 ended up compared to where we were last year.
The list of levels in the EventHubs community for SF5 has been pretty consistent with their first two for a while now, with Akuma and Urien in high and powerful positions, but they end the year with just a difference of 0.2 between them.
This is a big shake-up from where we were when Rashid and Karin ruled the school at the end of the Arcade Edition race, although they both fell a bit with Kanzuki’s heir barely breaking the top 10 yet.
Few players considered Poison to be a dominant character in SF5 until iDom’s 2019 Capcom Cup big win, but she has gained far more respect now after reaching seventh place overall.
It is Birdie, however, who seems to have fallen farther from grace, considering that he was in the top five at the end of season 3 and barely reached the top 20 now after his nerfs and many players no longer use him as the main solo.
As for the two characters joining SF5 with the Champion Edition update, Seth slowly moved up the ranks to finish in 14th place, which is really low compared to where most professionals put them, but Gill saw pretty much the opposite trajectory for low .
Where the game will go in season 5 is still unknown, but most can agree that there are likely to be some big changes on the horizon once the new update is in place.
With this new start for SF5, the list of EH levels will also do the same, so you can start voting on your correspondence knowledge when you feel comfortable doing so.
The final lists of Street Fighter 5 for seasons 3 and 4 can be found below.
