Street Fighter 6: Arjun Combo Cheat Sheet
| Situation | Combo | Notes |
|---|---|---|

Why His Jump-In Rules
Arjun’s jumping Heavy Punch leads straight into a solid combo. That makes opponents hesitant to approach him, which gives you breathing room and control of the match.
Core Tools to Learn
- Standing HP: Huge range, and its target combo follow-up leaves Arjun right next to the opponent.
- Crouching MP: A sweep that’s safe on block when well spaced. It also punishes backwalkers.
- Standing LP: A plus-on-block jab that leaves you in throw range for mix-ups.
- Divine Pillar and Cruel Shoulder: Create a pillar and follow up for big damage on hit and gray damage on block.

Pro Tips
