STREET FIGHTER 6 is Capcom fighting at its finest

PERFECT KO

I gotta be honest, I've bounced off 2D fighters. I'm a 3D fighter girl at heart, and losing a dimension seriously messes with my head. What do you mean I can't sidestep? I gotta jump around? Unheard of. I've been determined to finally push past my fear of only having deux dimensions with Street Fighter 6 though, and by god does Capcom do a fantastic job of welcoming me inside, making me a nice cup of tea and patting me on the back just for showing up and trying.

It's a far cry from the much-maligned launch of Street Fighter V, a grave error that's lingered around Capcom like a questionable fart for the last seven years. The developer slowly amended its mistakes, but it's determined not to repeat them this time around. It's succeeded: Street Fighter 6 is a bombastic, colorful, I could more by pl with fighter all-out package that is ready to cater to every playstyle and skill level, doing it with a degree of finesse that has well and truly set the bar high for the next generation of fighting games.

HIT THE STREETS
