Capcom has announced on X that the much-awaited Street Fighter 6 Akuma update will come with new Combo Trials. The Combo Trials are necessary due to the upcoming balance changes in the update.
The updates will allow players to optimize training using the new Reset Combo Damage Option. Street Fighter 6 Players have previously expressed unhappiness with the cumbersome way of resetting Max Combo. The latest update will fix the problem by introducing a reset button in the Training Mode.

The ability to Reset Combo Damage will improve players’ overall quality of life (QOL). The Rest Combo Damage is useful in training mode. It records the player’s Max Combo Damage and allows players to reset it to zer0 instead of quitting the session and re-entering to reset it the old way.

The latest updates will give fighters access to brand-new Combos. These changes may overwrite existing combo trials, so players may have to relearn and master the game. Updates are always fun, but sometimes, significant updates alter the game experience so much that they affect the player’s skill level.
The Season 2 update from Capcom shows an image of how Zangief’s Beginner Combo Trials will be improved. The new release will change all Zangief Beginner Combo Trials 3, 4, 5, and 7.
What Else Is Getting Updated?
The May 22nd update will bring many changes to the combatants, most significantly the balance adjustments. The balance adjustments will alter the overall feel of the game. Capcom says the balance adjustments have led to different fighting dynamics and player control changes that are necessary for this update.
The update also adds a notification feature to each combo trial. This feature allows players to access the update log to keep track of the latest updates.
