As with the climb from Rookie to Diamond, increasing your Master Rate (MR) by winning ranked matches will allow you to ascend the Master tier ranks (Capcom has yet to disclose how much MR you need per Master tier). Assuming Ultimate Master is the highest tier, the top 500 players here will be awarded the Legend rank, whereupon they must continue to gain MR to keep their titles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1346\" height=\"754\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1346px) 100vw, 1346px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250131-43552-001.jpg\" alt=\"Street Fighter 6 Master Rewards\" class=\"wp-image-43557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250131-43552-001.jpg 1346w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250131-43552-001-380x213.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250131-43552-001-768x430.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Players who have obtained Master rank with certain characters will also be able to earn Master Phase rewards by playing as their favorite fighters. Master Phase rewards are awarded at the end of every Phase, which lasts for 3 months. The rewards can be found in the \u201cRewards\u201d section of the Multi Menu, and each new Phase will have unique rewards to unlock. Based on the announcement, it looks like players will have to get the cosmetics in an ALL category (which currently includes a Fighter Profile Theme and Title) first before they can work toward their specific characters\u2019 recolored costumes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">3. Master Rate Updates<br>Master Rate at the beginning of each new Phase will now be determined per player based on the previous Phase&#39;s Master Rate! The median rate will remain at 1500, but placing players below or above the median will make matchmaking with opponents of similar\u2026<\/p>&mdash; Street Fighter (@StreetFighter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StreetFighter\/status\/1885049335991419053?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 30, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, Master Rate at the start of each new Phase will be handled differently. While the median rate for all Master players is still 1,500 MR, Street Fighter 6 will start placing players below or above that threshold. This will make it easier for players of relatively equal skill levels to be matched against each other at the start of each Phase, and avoid scenarios such as a new Master player going up against someone who has held the rank since the game&#8217;s release. Master players who didn\u2019t play any ranked matches in the last Phase will have their MR reset to 1,500.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mai Shiranui update arrives on February 5 in Street Fighter 6, which is available for PC (<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1364780\/Street_Fighter_6\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steam<\/a>),\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/store.playstation.com\/ja-jp\/product\/JP0102-PPSA02634_00-SF600000STANDARD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PS4<\/a>\/<a href=\"http:\/\/ps5\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PS5<\/a>,\u202fand\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/ja-jp\/games\/store\/Street-Fighter-6\/9PMRKZ2H293T\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Xbox Series X|S<\/a>.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In its February 5 Mai Shiranui update, Street Fighter 6 will be getting much desired Master rank splits and rewards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":43555,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-43552","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
