Street Fighter 6 Marisa Overview

Marisa is a powerful character and is built like a brick s***house. As such, she has armour moves that can withstand a hit or two, while her offence & hard-hitting pokes just blow opponents away. Think Street Fighter’s Boxer but with Zangief armour (or Killer Instinct 2013’s Tusk); perfect for dealing with random Drive Impacts from opponents and bullying them for making wrong choices.

Marisa’s best skill for counterattacking opponents is Scutum. She covers her head with both arms like a guard move and tanks hits while countering them automatically. This leaves her in a +3 frame advantage.

You can follow Scutum up with either a high attack, a low kick, or a command grab. Note that you have to keep the K button held to keep the Scutum stance.

Her Super Arts also come with armour properties; use her Level 1 Super to tank through slow recovery neutrals & attacks from opponents. Her Level 3 brings opponents straight to any corner, leaving her at an advantage especially if you can spring up Scutum mind games.

Play If: You like getting dirty with counterattacks, you want to power through random Drive Impacts.

Avoid If: You prefer pure rush down characters, don’t like taking hits, or prefer zoning.
