Capcom’s Street Fighter series of video games became a true cultural phenomenon when Street Fighter II hit the arcades in 1991. With the video game now on its 6th mainline entry, Street Fighter has returned to UniVersus for the first time in many years, having been the focus on several of the game’s earliest sets. Which cards are the most valuable in the Street Fighter 6 UniVersus set? Let’s find out!
10. Pale Rider – Ultra Rare, SF601 8/21
As the character who’ll show you the ropes in Street Fighter 6 video game, Luke will be familiar to everyone who has even the briefest of experience with the console title. Which means you’ll also know that Luke has the most ridiculous, Popeye-esque forearms, which are a bit obscured on this card! For the uninitiated, Pale Rider is the name of one of Luke’s Super Art moves in Street Fighter 6.
9. Avenger: Impaler (Alternate Art) – Rare Alt, SF601 24/21
Here we have another Luke card, this time showcasing one of his more standard moves. If you can pull off an Avenger move, then kick, you’ll perform the Avenger: Impaler. It’s a kick which looks pretty devastating on this card’s art, with the image (as is the case with many cards in the Street Fighter 6 UniVersus set) taken directly from the video game itself.
8. Aerial Kikosho – Ultra Rare, SF602 4/21
Introduced way back in 1991’s Street Fighter II, Chun-Li’s accessible moveset and impressive speed has made her a perennially popular character in Capcom’s fighting games. She’s a very prominent character in most Street Fighter spin-off media thanks to her popularity, and she was even the main character in a live action movie (2009’s admittedly terrible Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li). So you won’t be surprised to find out that this is the first of many Chun-Li cards on this list!
7. Dance of the Phoenix – Ultra Rare, SF602 14/21
Which brings us to our next card; another featuring Chun-Li! Given that the Street Fighter 6 Challenger Series decks each feature two characters, and one of the decks is headed up by Chun-Li, she does appear on many of the set’s cards anyway. This one is not a special or alternate art card, and can be found in the Chun-Li + Jamie Challenger Series Deck!
6. Phantom Sway (Alternate Art) – Rare Alt, SF602 28/21
Speaking of Jamie, here’s his first appearance on our list of the most valuable Street Fighter 6 UniVersus cards! Phantom Sway is one of Jamie’s target combos in the Street Fighter 6 video game. Interestingly, Jamie was the first new playable character to appear in Street Fighter 6!
5. Hundred Lightning Kicks (Alternate Art) – Rare Alt, SF602 27/21
Long term Street Fighter fans will have no problem recognizing this particular move. One of Chun-Li’s iconic moves from Street Fighter II, the Hundred Lightning Kicks is just as associated with the character as the Spinning Bird Kick. Only much easier to actually pull off!
4. Breakin’ (Alternate Art) – Ultra Rare Alt, SF602 26/21
Jamie’s breakdancing style is showcased perfectly on the Breakin’ card, with its alt art showing its titular move perfectly. A series of fast, rotating kicks, Breakin’ is almost like Chun-Li’s aforementioned Spinning Bird Kick, only Jamie keeps a hand on the ground when he performs his move.
3. Rising Uppercut (Alternate Art) – Rare Alt, SF601 27/21
We’re back to Luke for the number 3 spot on our list of the most valuable Street Fighter 6 UniVersus cards. It showcases a fairly basic move, though the Rising Uppercut is a useful attack to deploy, for anyone using Luke as their character in the Street Fighter 6 video game.
2. Aerial Kikosho – Ultra Rare Alt, SF602 24/21
Chun-Li’s final appearance on this list is the alternate art variant of the Aerial Kikosho attack. It’s not hard to see why they both make it to the list of the most valuable Street Fighter 6 UniVersus cards, because they’re both aesthetically beautiful cards!
1. Jamie Siu, Peacekeeping Breakdancer (Alternate Art) – Character Rare Alt, SF602 23/21
The final card on this list, with the honor of taking the top spot as the most valuable Street Fighter 6 UniVersus card, is this alternate art variant of Jamie Siu, Peacekeeping Breakdancer. It’s a beautiful card, and it’s clear why fans are keen to get their hands on it!
