He’s not washed his character is. People get hyperbolic with Punk but we’re literally 1 year removed from him winning like half of the tier 1 majors (EVO, CEO, SFL US, etc).

I don’t know if Capcom is secretly racist or just strongly dislikes Punk but they have a consistent habit of nerfing the shyt out of every character he finds success with dating back to SFV. Cammy is garbage now.

Pretty much everyday people beg him to drop her and he seems reluctant. Lowkey, I think he’s going to switch to Viper but is saving her for Cap Cup. He only pulls her out on rare occasions right now but it’s pretty universally agreed upon that he has the best Viper. Smoked NL 3-0 in this same SFL and nearly got to 2500 MR (Rank 1) with her when she dropped which is a record. Was in Japan giving everyone the beats.

Punk ain't washed but his style is a bit out of date.

Punk is a lay back and let you kill yourself player but SF6 is a very assertive high apm game. That's why Blaz came up so fast. Nikka never stops doing shyt:mjlol:

The players that constantly beat Punk, particularly Blaz and Mena, are very aggressive and create their own situations and pace. When you compare him to those two his Cammy is far less active

sf6 is too fast paced for punk playstyle

I don't think it's necessarily speed. The game is slower now that it has been in the last two seasons. But I do think there's less and less room for empty space. This is why I specified Blaz's frequent activity and high apm

Punk is a lot less active compared to the current meta. He can't really sit back like he's been used to. You have to hunt and kill what you eat in SF6. Even your defense has to be offensive:mjlol:

This match is a great example. Blaz plays Sagat at a slower pace than his Ryu but the aggressiveness and space filling is still there. He constantly pressures Punk then engineers him into having to fight back, where Blaz then perfect parries Punk's attempts to take his turn back
