With classic characters and interesting new additions alike, Street Fighter 6 always delivers some fantastic super moves. But these are the absolute coolest and most exciting critical arts in the game.
Guile’s iconic Somersault gets an upgrade. After launching the enemy into the air with a kick, he shoots a powerful Sonic Boom that keeps the opponent in place, allowing him to reach them to deliver the powerful final kick. It’s simple yet effective, properly highlighting Guile’s physical prowess and skills while also keeping his classic flare.

Guile’s critical is full of his focused methodology and military precision, not beating around the bush and finishing the job as quickly as possible. The only problem is that it is indeed too simple.
Ken’s Shinryu Reppa is a stylish and badass move fit for thisiconic hero, but rather than the usual fun attitude characteristic, this time, this super has a more angry tone to it. Ken has gone through a lot, and his critical art balances his classic coolness with his now angrier demeanor.
After unleashing two enhanced Shoryuukens, he finishes the opponent off with a devastating flaming Shinryuuken. Ken is exhausted and beaten down, and this more aggressive take on his classic move reflects that.
Juri exercises her overwhelming power, agility, and sadism on her prey, trashing them around like rag dolls. She just has fun toying with them like a powerful predator, mocking them and laughing while they’re helplessly thrown around into the air and then slammed into the ground by her deadly kicks. She even takes a second to “compliment” her opponents before finishing them. Juri’s Kansei Dankai Raku is just her perfect chance to brutally destroy her opponent while havingso much funherself.
Chun-Liis widely known for her fighting style focused on powerful kicks, so it’s a great variation to see her unleash a barrage of punches on the enemy for her Critical Art, Soten Ranka. She then launches the opponent into the air before finishing them by slamming them into the ground with a powerful kick or into the wall in the enhanced version.

This move is masterful, elegant, and powerful, fitting of Chun-Li. With great wisdom and maturity, this veteran fighter comes even greater fighting skill, the Strongest Woman in the world indeed.
Manon is not only beautiful but also strong enough to force her opponent to partake in ballet before smashing them into the ground with aspinning throw, ending with a cheeky giggle. Manon is always in the spotlight, she’s always the star and in control, and even in a fight, her enemy is just another dancer doing her bidding. She entails great pain on her foe. Pas de Deux means a dance for two people, typically a man and a woman, or in this case, Manon and her victim.
There’s still a lot to discover about the mysterious JP, but one thing is certain, he possesses Psycho Power, and that’s exactly what he uses to annihilate his inferior opponent. He grabs them by the neck, filling them with psychic energy, and then uses his cane to make it burst from the inside in the form of painful crystal spikes. In the enhanced version, he turns them into what is basically a psycho crystal tree. Whether he’s a sympathizer of Shadaloo or not, his underlying malice is clearly shown in his use of Psycho Power.
This critical art, or all of Dee Jay for that matter, can be summed up in one word: Fun. Dee Jay overwhelms the opponent with two barrages of punches, ending with a powerful launching blow and, of course, a stylish pose, all of this while having the biggest smile on his face. Dee Jay is a guy who’s all about fun and partying, and his critical art – while supposed to defeat his opponent – is drenched in this idea. Dee Jay’s Weekend Pleasure is afeast for the eyesand soul but a devastating and humiliating defeat for the enemy.
Striking fast, precise, and lethally, Cammy attacks from multiple directions like a speeding bullet, not even being visible for most of the move until she finally appears, dealing a deadly kick to finish her target. This critical art epitomizes the concept of Cammy, a fast and efficient assassin who always oozes style. Seeing her methodically take down her opponents without breaking a sweat is always a treat. Cammy’s Delta Red Assault is just the peak of cool super moves in Street Fighter, fit for such an iconic character.
Kimberly is an agile and strong ninja but also a street artist. And her critical art not only beats an opponent down to a pulp but also turns them into beautiful graffiti. Kimberly turns up her music, grabs her spray cans, and gets to work on her latest piece.

With fast airborne attacks, Kimberly deals damage and paints simultaneously, finishing her artistic masterpiece with a powerful hidden lotus. Having been trained byGuy in the Bushin Ryuarts, Kimberly incorporates martial art while giving it her own personal take.
Think of old Chinese Kung Fu movies and put them in the universe of Street Fighter. Jamie’s Critical Art stops the music altogether, turns the aspect rate to widescreen, and puts everything on grayscale. He challenges the opponent to a duel with their fists, with Jamie obviously being faster, letting him perform a devastating sequence of attacks or, in the enhanced version, a deadly strike on the throat. Jamie’s critical art is reminiscent of iconic kung fu masters like Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen but with his own modern flare.
