Preview of Street Fighter 6: The Enjoyment of Combat

Capcom’s Street Fighter 6 is a highly enjoyable fighting game that has recently gained popularity. The Street Fighter 6 demo has already shown how fun it can be to walk around and fight random strangers on the street in World Tour mode. However, the small section available to everyone does not do justice to the massive and full of hidden secrets SF6’s World Tour really is. Fortunately, Screen Rant recently attended a preview session of Street Fighter 6 at the Capcom offices in San Francisco, and got an extended look at June’s most anticipated fighting game.

Street Fighter 6’s World Tour mode feels like a combination of Yakuza and the Konquest mode from Mortal Kombat: Deception, and it’s absolutely packed with people to fight and easter eggs to discover. From thugs straight out of Final Fight to irate business people and even more irate Roombas, there are no shortage of weird NPCs trying to take you down in Metro City, and players will need to team up with characters on Street Fighter 6’s roster to learn the skills necessary to survive.

The fights themselves are a joy, with fluid character animations and bright blasts of color bursting onto the screen when certain moves are executed. There’s something delightful about a simple attack reversal causing this massive explosion of what appears to tangible paint, and while all of Street Fighter 6’s special moves are still the stars of the show, the extra detail given towards more common attack and defensive actions means each fight is as enjoyable to watch as it is to play.

Like the best Street Fighter titles, every character feels unique and must be approached differently, but thanks to the multiple new control schemes it is now much easier to pull off cool-looking attacks without spending ten days practicing how to half-circle rotate. This isn’t a requirement, and the older, more complicated input system is still available for people who prefer it, but these inclusions both make it more entertaining to try out new characters and opens the game up to players of different skill levels, which is always a good thing.
