Another intense round of Street Fighter

The popular fighting game is moving on from Street Fighter 5 to Street Fighter 6. Capcom, the brains behind the Street Fighter franchise, has officially revealed the new numbered entry to the popular action game series. Besides the classic one-on-one melee matches, there are other features both old fans and new players will love.

Street Fighter 6 shows off a new visual style that has evolved from Street Fighter 5. The fighters also have a slick-looking character model that appears to be developed on the RE Engine. Lots of old fan favorites are going to appear.

More polished fighters

The release offers fans slicker-looking character models for Luke and Ryu. Joining these two are classic fan favorites like Chun-Li, Manon, Dhalsim, Zangief, and Ken. Other recurring characters will be introduced over time, such as Rashid, A.K.I, Ed, and Akuma. However, these fighters need to be purchased by the player either individually or through season passes.

More than the new character models, the entire game looks to be slicker so far. It appears as though it was developed on the RE Engine. Furthermore, it features different gaming modes, which are Local, Online Versus, Arcade, Training, World Tour, Battle Hub, and Extreme Battle. There is also a real-time commentary feature that has subtitles available in 13 languages.

Chun-Li returns in Street Fighter 6

SF6 Chun-Li, one of the most iconic characters in the fighting game genre, makes her comeback in Street Fighter 6. With a fresh look and her legendary powerful kicks, she remains a force to be reckoned with. Chun-Li now runs kung fu classes and is a beloved member of her community, enjoying shopping with Li-Fen and days off, while disliking crime and indecisiveness.

Juri's sadistic thrills continue in SF6

At Street Fighter 6, Juri, who made her debut in Super Street Fighter IV, retains her sadistic personality and love for obliterating foes. With M. Bison gone, she now seeks her next thrill. Juri's signature Fuhajin move returns, allowing her to store Fuha stocks, which can enhance her special moves and create unique playstyle opportunities.

Cammy's tactical advantage in SF6

Cammy joins the Street Fighter 6 roster with her classic agility and quick strikes. As a tactical fighter, Cammy is known for her speed and precision, making her a formidable opponent in any match-up. Keep an eye out for her impressive moves and combos as she returns to the battlefield.

Ryu's journey to greater heights

Ryu, a well-known figure in the Street Fighter universe, is confirmed for Street Fighter 6. As a sincere and well-mannered martial artist, he travels the globe seeking worthy adversaries. Having conquered the Satsui no Hado, Ryu now aims for even greater heights in his martial arts journey.

Newcomer Marisa joins the battle

Street Fighter 6 introduces Marisa, a new character joining the diverse roster. While not much is known about her background or fighting style, fans are eager to see what she brings to the table in this latest installment.

Is Street Fighter 6 before 3?

According to Capcom developers, the story of Street Fighter 6 is set a few years after the events of Street Fighter 3 games. This marks the game as the current end of the game franchise’s timeline. Following the first installment of the game series, the chronological order would continue with Alpha, SF 2, SF 4, SF 5, and SF 3.

How old is Ryu in Street Fighter 6?

As previously mentioned, the events of Street Fighter 6 take place approximately a decade after Street Fighter 3. With Ryu’s age set at around 33 years old during the events of the aforementioned title, he would be around 43 years old in SF6.

Is Street Fighter 6 free?

Unfortunately, Street Fighter 6—much like the other previous titles in the franchise—is a premium game that you have to pay for to play. There are three editions for players to check out: the original, the Deluxe Edition, and the Ultimate Edition. However, players still have the opportunity to try it out for free by downloading the game’s demo. Take note, though, that the demo only features up to a certain point of the World Tour mode.

Year 1 ends with Akuma DLC fighter

Akuma, the combat demon, descends upon Street Fighter 6 as the fourth and final DLC character of Year 1. The iconic master of the Satsui no Hado joins the roster with his own story mode, combo challenges, and World Tour integration, where you can learn from the legend himself. Plus, a giant Akuma awaits in a limited-time Battle Hub event where players can team up and launch Hadoukens for the takedown. Outfit Pack 3 offers fresh threads, balance changes keep online brawls fair, and classic Street Fighter tracks add a nostalgic punch. Lastly, the promise of Year 2 content keeps the fight going.

Hyping up fans

Overall, the reveal of the short trailer for Street Fighter 6 is enough to keep fans on their toes. Although there is very limited information, it has already made waves online. And if the short visual teaser is to be considered, the upcoming game will prove to be showing the future of the franchise, if only the developer is more forthcoming with the details.
