World Tour was surprisingly better than I imagined... I mean, I still got bored with it after a few hours but hey, better than I expected. I mostly just think it'd be a lot better if it were shorter. I currently still haven't completed it and my only real motivation to continue it is unlocking costumes. On that note, I can probably complain about how grindy it is to unlock the classic costumes be I'll be real here and say this is by design since they wanna tempt you to just fork over cash to unlock it (along with additional colors for the standard costumes.) I also, just plain dislike how bare bones Arcade mode feels. It's still in that sf5 style where you do a few matches and then a picture book cutscene plays. IDK why Capcom is insisting the plain old 7 stages then you fight an overpowered bad guy is old hat. Most times that's really all I want from single player content in a fighting game. I'm holding out hope this will get added in at some point.
As for the actual reason to play a fighting game, I think the game feels great. The drive bar makes for a really engaging mechanic, full of risk reward. There's a lot of great training room options to help you understand the game better. The modern mode controls seem like a really neat addition too. Not just for Street Fighter noobs but it seems to work really well in ranked play based on some of the fights I've had. Speaking of the online play feels really good which is such a breath of fresh air after SF5 being pretty unplayable with someone not in the same room as you.
Oh I know a lot of people disagree, but I think the music is good. Not the greatest thing out there when it comes to the genre but I like it. I get where some people are coming from where some of the themes don't completely fit the characters. I just think some minor adjustments should've been made. For example, I think Genbu Temple should've been Ryu's theme. I suppose you can view it as interchangeable since that is his stage though. Also, something I don't think a lot of people are appreciating is how the music fades out and back into a different section of the track between rounds. Enjoyers of the Guilty Gear Strive OST might see why this would be nice since there are a number of tracks that barely make it past their opening section before the match ends.
