Street Fighter 6 Update 1.17 Fixes Buffer Input Issue on All Platforms

[summaraize]

After the massive balance patch released just a few days ago for Street Fighter 6, Capcom has pushed out a new patch for the game on all platforms that players will see as Street Fighter 6 update 1.17 (PS4/XB1), and version 1.017 on PS5/XSX.

While this is a minor patch, the community should welcome it, as it significantly affects gameplay in certain situations.

Street Fighter 6’s Update 1.17 Resolves Buffer Input Bug

Per Capcom, this patch should, “fix a bug that prevents the buffer input from working on the player’s wake-up when they are knocked down after a Perfect Parry.”

That’s about it in terms of fixes. Given the balance patch included universal character changes, we’re not surprised at this smaller update, as it’s more of a hotfix than anything else.

Expect the next patch for Street Fighter 6 to be released sometime in January of 2025, and once we know more about it, we’ll let our readers know.
