Those who have played Street Fighter 6’s recent demo will already be familiar with the basics. With the experimentation out of my system, it was time to dive into World Tour. Options like that bring a little levity to the package, something that would prepare me for the charming goofiness of its primary mode. ![]() My personal favorite was when I created a match where the goal was to knock my opponent down five times … and then I added a bull that would run across the stage and knock down anything in its path. The suite of options feels a little slim, but there’s enough here to create some fun diversions. To close out my time in Fighting Ground out, I’d tinker around in Extreme Battles, putting together matches with goofy stipulations. That little narrative touch gives me a better idea of who each character is, so I imagine I’ll be playing through each one before diving too deep into the rest of the package. When I start a round as Ken, I get some backstory about how he was framed for a terrorist attack and is fighting to clear his name. What’s nice here is that Arcade mode actually tells stories for each character. In classic fashion, I’d pick a character and fight through a few curated battles - complete with a car smashing minigame in the middle (though this time, the car is a big rig truck). I got a better sense of how I’d likely be spending my time in Street Fighter 6 when jumping into Arcade mode. Just about every character feels distinct and I get a sense that I’ll have a few in my rotation rather than sticking to a main. I’d diversify from there, clicking with Marisa’s powerhouse offense and Dhalsim’s unpredictable, long-ranged attacks thanks to his stretchy limbs. After not clicking with standard characters like Ken, I quickly began to find my groove with Lily, a lightning-quick fighter who thwacks enemies with two wooden pogamoggans. I’d also get to try my hand at all 18 starting characters, giving me a better sense of how diverse the roster’s playstyles are. I’d previously played the game in a much more casual setting, so the extra time would let me get far more comfortable with its controls and learn the fluid flow of matches. That would give me a lot of time to learn the ins and outs of its Drive Impact and counter systems, which lend matches a seesaw-like drama. I’d start in Fighting Ground, where I could play one-on-one battles, team matches, and arcade mode. I can’t wait to go back to Street Fighter 6’s excellent Battle Hubīefore jumping into World Tour, I’d get to fiddle around with the entire roster in some of Street Fighter 6’s traditional modes. Capcom say the full launch will be "further adjusted and will feature updated character balance.A free Street Fighter 6 demo is available now on PS5 and PS4įighting games took a breather this year, but 2023 is the genre’s moment Street Fighter 6 releases on June 2nd via Steam and consoles. ![]() ![]() Our preview of Street Fighter 6’s World Tour mode praised the city's comedy antics: “Running into a random bloke on their way to work and spinning bird kicking them is quite funny.” Although some generic open world-isms will raise a few eyebrows until the game’s launch. Street Fighter 6’s demo is also still available and focuses entirely on the game’s open-world mode, for those who enjoy their road brawls alone. ![]() That includes casual matches, ranked matches, battle hub matches, open tournaments, the training mode, and more. Street Fighter 6’s launch is just a few weeks away, meaning this open beta will act as a kind of server stress test with a number of online modes that are playable. Metro City Downtown, Genbu Temple, Carrier Byron Taylor, Tian Hong Yuan, The Macho Ring, and Training Room also return as playable stages to throw down in the beta. The character creation tools allow for some whacky proportions and other nightmare-fuel features for your custom brawlers. Character creation is on the table too, although you’re only allowed to create one unholy avatar. As was the case with the last closed beta, this month’s roster of playable fighters includes Ryu, Chun-Li, Luke, Jamie, Kimberly, Guile, Juri, and sad (bad) dad Ken.
