![]() The best way to describe World Tour is Street Fighter x Yakuza, in which you prowl the streets having a scrap with anyone and everyone. After meeting your rival Bosch, you're let loose on the streets of Metro City (originally featured in Final Fight). You start off the story by training under Street Fighter 6 poster boy Luke, as a trainee at Buckler Security Services. In World Tour you create your own Avatar with the super in-depth character creator that not only lets you create an accurate representation of yourself, but also an accurate representation of your soul – which is a total monstrosity in my case. What a wonderful worldĪs I mentioned, I also got the chance to play the first three chapters of the brand new single-player mode World Tour, which represents the wildest direction the series has possibly ever taken. While fighting game tutorials have been getting better and better over the years, It's refreshing to have the type of thing you would normally have to look up outside of the game included in the package. The most impressive of the training suite for me are the Character Guides, which not only teach you the basics of each character – like how to perform specific special moves and combos – but also gives you the rundown of appropriate times to those moves and a general battle plan for each character. We were allowed to play up until the bonus stage which pits you against the classic Street Fighter enemy – a car – so we can't speak about it fully, but from what we played it's a fun take on the classic mode.Įlsewhere in Fighting Ground you have combo trials, training mode and tutorial which will all teach you specific elements of the game. That shouldn't be a shock, but after Street Fighter 5 was missing it at launch it's worth noting. Arcade Mode returns with hand drawn intros giving you the rundown of each characters story. Classic characters like Cammy, Zangief, and Ryu look the best they ever have, while the newcomers all look fantastic, and unlike anything we've seen from the series before.Įven outside of the World Tour story mode (which I'll get to, don't worry) Street Fighter 6 gives you so much to do from the get go. Honda has the intense new Sumo Dash stance the madmen gave Blanka a projectile, as if he wasn't tough enough to deal with already, and – biggest of all – the devs gave Zangief trousers.īy far the best part of the character roster is how hard Capcom went on the new designs. Whereas others bring fresh new styles like Marisa's hard hitting MMA or – my personal favourite character so far – Manon's ballet-infused grappling moveset.Įven characters from past entries have been given new tricks E. ![]() Some – like Lily and Kimberly – are fresh spins on existing characters like T. We've had access to Luke, Jamie, and Kimberly before now in the Street Fighter 6 closed beta, but this preview is the first time I've been able to check out Manon, Lily, Marisa, and JP, each of which somehow already feel like they've been part of the game for years. ![]() After the absolute disappointment that was Street Fighter 4's newcomers, and the hit or miss nature of the Street Fighter 5 batch, I'm so happy to say Capcom has knocked it out of the park with the new generation. I was also trepidatious about the overreliance on Street Fighter 2's cast once again. As I mentioned I was able to check out the entire 18 character launch roster – which was by far my biggest fear going into the game as none of my favourite characters like Alex, Cody, or Birdie are returning for this entry. The main section of Street Fighter 6 is Fighting Ground this is where the classic Street Fighter gameplay and modes you know and love are housed, like Arcade, Training and – of course – 1v1 battles. I was able to take a look at Street Fighter 6's two offline sections – Fighting Ground and World Tour – including every mode, and access to all 18 of the characters available on the base roster. I was invited by Capcom to play a work in progress version of Street Fighter 6 ahead of its launch on June 2, 2023, and I've somehow left the session even more impressed by what was already my most anticipated game of 2023.
