Fighting games are intimidating, but I think Street Fighter 6 made every possible effort to make it as approachable as possible. And I certainly had a lot of fun with it, that I otherwise would not have experienced, if it didn't have modern controls or a quirky story mode.

I still wish some things were different, specially about World Tour. I think it starts great but at some point it felt bad as a scrub to use multiple health recovery items in a fight, and I felt powerless against increasingly large health bars. I wish it was less RPG, even though the RPG elements may help you "overlevel" a fight, it also makes enemies feel tankier when I just wanted them to feel smarter. After some time I enjoyed going through Arcade mode more than messing around in World Tour.

The characters are incredible and I love the vibes, the game is certainly amazing and I felt welcomed to try it. I wish it had something more to keep me on it, because I don't feel confident to play online, but I loved the time I spent with it.
