Street Fighter 6 has been well-received by fans and critics. Here are eight of its standout features.
When it comes to fighting games, Street Fighter is the poster child for the genre. Fans may prefer others more, but there is no denying the influence this series has had on the industry since it began in 1987. It may seem wild that there are only six main games in this franchise since it has existed for over three decades.
However, it’s easy to forget all of the spinoffs, not to mention all of the other fighting games under Capcom’s belt. So, overall, how does Street Fighter 6 stack up to the rest of the series? Does it do anything better, or is it a failure? 8 World Tour
The story modes have always been lacking in these games. The arcade mode within Street Fighter 6 has the same style of offerings fans should be used to by now. Animated stills are presented for each character’s journey in the single-player mode. That’s for the main characters, but there is also the addition of World Tour, which is the true story mode of the game.
The player is a nameless fighter who wants to make their way to the top in Metro City. It gets wild, almost on the level of the Yakuza games, which is a real treat. 7 The Character Creator
Players can customize their World Tour character in Street Fighter 6 to their liking. The wealth of sliders and additional options is astounding for a fighting game. It adds to the charm of the World Tour as players can be whoever they want to be, from a tough brooding macho man to a flirtatious agile femme fatale.
Players have been sharing a staggering amount of creativity with their characters, like making Taylor Swift clones. Past games have offered costume changes and reskins for the main characters, but this is a whole new ball game in Street Fighter 6.
