Part 13

Learn how to defeat the tough Bionic Arm Cyborg and the final boss, The Albatross, in Street Fighter 6. Master dangerous terrain like spikes, pits, and quicksand.

Alright, let's dive into Part 13! This section is all about some seriously tough opponents and the environmental hazards you'll need to watch out for. Think of this as your cheat sheet for surviving some of the game's trickiest challenges.

Enemies to Watch Out For

First up, we've got the Bionic Arm Cyborg. This guy is a real pain. He's huge and, you guessed it, has a bionic arm just like yours, which he'll use to try and grab you if you get too close. The key here is distance. Stay away from him, or get underneath him, and he can't reach you. But if you get near him, especially above him, he'll snatch you up and pull you in, causing damage. He's armored, so taking him down won't be easy. Your best bet is to hang from the ceiling, drop down, and at the perfect moment, shoot him in the head – that's his only weak spot. Even with a Rocket Launcher, it'll take a good number of shots to bring him down. You'll find him in Areas 6, 7, and 12.

Then there's The Albatross, the Badds' ultimate weapon and the final boss of the game. It's described as a massive laser cannon, but weirdly, it never actually fires a laser at you. Instead, its main attack is blasting you with a ton of flames. We'll get into the nitty-gritty of how to beat it in the walkthrough for Area 12, so hang tight for that!

Dangerous Terrain Ahead!

Now, let's talk about the environment itself. These aren't enemies, but they can be just as deadly if you're not careful!

• Water: Falling into water pits means instant death and you'll lose a life. Seriously, stay away from it. You can often swing under platforms near water, but it's usually not worth the risk. Check the 'Special Moves' section for how to swing effectively. You'll find water in Areas 1, 6, and all neutral areas.
• Holes & Pits: Just like water, pits mean you're done for. You can't grab onto the walls next to them, so one wrong step and it's game over. Watch out for these in Areas 2, 3, and 9.
• Spikes: These pop up a lot and don't instantly kill you, but they'll take a huge chunk of your health. Landing on them knocks you back, and you need to quickly get back onto solid ground. You can take about 3 hits from spikes if you have a long health meter, but if you don't recover fast, you're toast. It's pretty unfair that enemy soldiers can walk on spikes without taking damage! You'll encounter spikes in Areas 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 12, and all neutral areas.
• Spring Boards: These look like little feathers and will bounce you left or right. While not dangerous on their own, they can easily send you flying into spikes or a pit. The Badds love placing these in the most dangerous spots, so stay calm when you see one. You can actually influence the direction you bounce by holding the D-Pad in that direction. Found in Areas 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, and 12.
• Quicksand: You'll only find this out in the wilderness. Step into it, and you'll start sinking slowly. You can still move and use your bionic arm to grab onto tree branches and pull yourself out. If you sink too deep, though, it's game over. Watch out for this in Area 3.
• Fire: Similar to spikes, touching fire will knock you back and drain a lot of your energy. Your only hope is to get to safety quickly. You'll find fire in Areas 9 and 11.
• Cliffs: These are found on one specific enemy field stage. If you get too close to the edge, you risk falling off. Falling means instant death, with no chance for your bionic arm to save you. This hazard is on Enemy Field Stage 1: The Mountain Cliffs.
