STREET FIGHTER 6

Modern versus classic

We get it. For some people, it can be difficult to get excited about the prospect of buying another full-price fighting game only to struggle to pull off any of the cool moves you see people perform in tournaments, get beaten by a Ken player five times in a row, rage-quit, and then never reinstall the game. But what if it didn't have to be that way? Street Fighter 6 has something for everyone, and in a way that respects the series' core pillars.

Almost every aspect of Street Fighter 6 has been designed to make things easier to get into than ever, and it's something that long-time veterans will benefit from just as much as new players, though it is the fresh-faced who may be the most thankful for it.

Just as FIFA has well-known voices nattering away to comment on play-by-plays, so too does Street Fighter 6-a genre first. Actual commentators from fighting game tournaments are here (speaking English and Japanese), and while commentary is primarily there to add colour and solidify the game's status as an esport, throughout our many hours of beta play it's also the most immediate addition that nudges us to play better.
