The update for 27 September for Street Fighter 6 has arrived, and the patch notes mention a laundry list of changes. But by far the most important addition with this update is the addition of AKI as a playable character in the Street Fighter 6 roster. She is available for anyone who got the season pass or the deluxe version of the game. Other significant additions include new training mode features that will make labbing a lot easier. Of course, just like Rashid, the arrival of AKI also brings new story missions to the World Tour mode.
As for ranked mode, a new Legend rank has been added for the top 500 players in the world. The new ranking system will still be based on the recently introduced MR system for Master rank players. Here is the complete list of patch notes for the 27 September update for Street Fighter 6:
