In World Tour the Final Tournament seems a bit unfair?

[Sub]

All of the fighters are completely fine but when it comes to the last 2. JP and Wannabe Teenage Nash -1.0 I get steamrolled or the fight takes forever. Maybe Ryu isn't the play here and I should just pick Ken, Dhalsim, or Zangief. Stocking up on items imo seems cheap but i might grind out the zenny and just buy 99+ stamina X drinks. Level 54 here

Sidenote! Seems like playing as a small character actually impacts the gameplay more than it seems. Do not do it unless you want to play the game in hardmode lol.

JP is rough, but his pet is easy: jump the rush, low block the sweep, high block the overhead, DI his DI, PROFIT.

To be honest I didn't struggle that much in the final tournament in comparison to some of the super fighters in Nayshall like the Guile ninja guy who just destroys me in 5 hits

The World Tour...It's clearly become the heart of the game. It's not what you'd expect from a versus fighting game. There's a serious imbalance in the player vs. AI battles. Even if I'm 40 levels higher, the AI is bound to be more powerful, more resistant and with thousands more health points than me. This results in battles that are real purges and that's where it gets tricky.
In the beginning, I fought against opponents who were 1 level higher than me and my progression was self-sustaining up to around 25. Beyond that, it becomes a real nightmare to progress like that. I'm not even talking about the gangs that constantly harass me, making every move a real hassle. The AI will always have priority over attacks, anticipating your every strike and making fights a living hell.
Finally, the controls in WT are just as unresponsive as in the 1st Street Fighter - a disgrace! I openly accuse crapcom of deliberately sabotaging the responsiveness of the classic controls in favor of their imbecilic so-called modern controls.
They advertised that the game would be more accessible, but it's not! It's even more elitist than its predecessors, for the reasons given above.

I never play story mode in fighting games but I gave this game a chance because I like rpgs and at the start I was like mmm this looks kinda generic at least compared to your regular triple A rpgs out there but but after a few hrs it starts getting really wonky and weird in a really fun way, I remember fighting a fridge that threw food at me and thinking wth.. is going on...

My avatar is minimum height and I haven't noticed any issues in general. I don't really remember JP, even as a teacher his AI is rather unmemorable and straightforward (in vs mode he destroys me every time, but then so does everything else so no wonder there). But the Psycho powered dude in the tournament, and then the last boss of the secondary mission where you find and fight like 30 tough fighters all over the place (also Psycho powered, level 90 something), they are really really tough.

But since very few fights in WT are tough, you should have plenty of sports drinks etc. to keep yourself healed up.

The funny thing is that you mention this combination of issues in any official SF6 forums or groups and my goodness, they fry you with either downvotes or toxic comments putting you as a casual scum or similar.... World Tour is a nice concept but it has A LOT of leveling issues. From level 40+ the differences in stats end up skyrocketting up to absurdity. I remember the first JP fight was so cursing frustrating being my char 4 levels below that I almost snapped my device in two. Then I went grinding for about 4 literal hours straight, stacked myself with healing items and boosted all stats I could think of and I could easily kick his buttox at level 62.

Another big problem is how the game focuses way too much in teaching you the combat mecanics but does pretty much zero emphasis on upgrading your stats, your gear, optimizing your moves by leveling up the right masters or even doing all of the above THE RIGHT WAY. I heard nobody but a couple of single persons across various groups even mentiong that, for example, you should upgrade only the highest tier of clothing cause they have more upgradability room and thus the stats ceiling is much higher. Or that the permanent stat boosts consumables are permanent inside the fight and outside as well (Kinda like the stats pills that you had in Pokemon that permanently raises a specific attribute of your Poke), etc.

Then you have challengers that appear at level 80 or 90 when your char is still barely level 50. Or that you sign for a tournament after the JP fight and have to face as one of the opponents a Zangief level 92, a Cammy level 96 or a bloody Guile level 100, and Im not even joking, that's literally the kind of possible rivals you could be paired to fight against in them.

And just like some of you guys mentioned, they claimed this game and special modes and tools are targetted to be newcomer friendly, meant to bring people to get into the vibe of SF.... They're not, I played other fighters like Soulcalibur VI that without easing up a thing for you, they feel waaaaaaaaaay easier to get into it than this game even with the modern controls. Cause here's the catch. You have "easier" imputs, but in return all your attacks damage get axed to 80% unless you imput their not so smooth in detection quarter circle everythings. And this is the issue of the Modern controls (Which btw also axes down your moveset in half as well), then there's the WT problems mentioned above and in you guys' posts.

Truth is, Street Fighter 6 's World Tour has big problems with both difficulty and damage outputs and while on early game this is fine-ish, on mid-late game it can escalate into something really frustrating to deal with. Specially cause the few effective tools you have to make that situation easier are the ones that are focused the less, if at all XD

Just spam consumables.
The fight whit psycho boss is designed t be lost even thou you can still win it if you lose its still not game over.
