"Mastering Street Fighter 6: Troubleshooting Inputs and Viewing Replays"

Players are experiencing input issues in Street Fighter 6 due to changes in the game's input buffer system and move priority system, which are stricter than in Street Fighter 5. The game's priority resolution system assigns certain actions to take priority over others in case of overlaps, which can result in accidental moves. The game also reads for inputs thrice per frame, which can lead to seemingly random inputs. Players are advised to hit Training Mode and do their own testing on inputs. Capcom may make adjustments to the game's systems and mechanics in the future.
