Street Fighter 6, is an amazing experience and a wonderfully crafted fighting game. It is one of the most complete fighting games to come out, and a great launch and return to form from Street Fighter V.
SF6 is a complete game. Thankfully. The new aesthetic is beautiful, and the art direction of the cartoony style mixed with realism is just stunning.
It's filled with beautiful stages, an amazing soundtrack, and great modern costume designs for each character old and new.
The UI is super simple and clean and intuitive, and it's a huge step up.
The game is very helpful for players old and new, and just finally feels like a Street Fighter everyone can get into, like my friend played a couple games and he was hooked and bought it when he went home, that's how you know it's a great game.
All the characters classic outfits, moves and more are carefully crafted and each character is super fun to play. Even the modern designs have become an instant hit.
SF6 feels finished and polished, it has a story mode, multiplayer, cool modes, and a 18 character roster. And a good amount of beautifully created stages.
The story mode which is the world tour is surprisingly good. You can make a custom character (and the customisation is actually insane and very good) and you explore Metro City post SFV and Bison. It's kind of like Jump Forces story but actually good. You get to interact with legendary fighters and see how they evolved and you can learn their moves and have conversations with them. It's quite fun. You can also just scrap people on the street like it's New York. It may not be a amazing story mode with cinematics like Netherrealms Mortal Kombat, however it is fun, a solid one, and creative. The hub world is also great here, ties everything together and has lots of extra stuff you can do, you can even play retro Capcom games like SF1!
AND CROSSPLAY BETWEEN ALL PLATFORMS WOOWWWW!
Now my complaints with the game, because as reviews say this game is perfect and the best SF, it may be the best one in some people's opinions, but it still has a little bit more to go to be perfect. Not a lot but yeah.
First thing, an 18 character roster is still quite small. MK11 launched with 24. So I'm wondering why they couldn't have at least made it 20+. 18 is solid, but for a full priced game it's not enough.
And a full priced game with dlc announced before it's coming out. Of course they're gonna get greedy and announce a fighter pass for characters that probably should've been in the game at the beginning.
The lack of outfits is a joke. Just two, which are beautiful and have different colours but two is a joke. Look at the customisation in Mortal Kombat 11, like they could've made a lot more outfits and given us variety, oh but they will just as paid DLC of course.
The lack of intros and outros for characters is a shame too. Not many unique interactions too.
Overall, Capcom has been on a roll lately and it's great to see that but they haven't been perfect. Street Fighter 6 is a must play, and a great way to get into fighting games and Street Fighter. It's not perfect, but it gets close at times and is a very solid experience and great return to form for the franchise. Even with its flaws, the core gameplay loop is just soooo good, it keeps you hooked and you just want to keep playing non stop, the intuitive controls for old and new players is so amazing and every game win or lose you learn something new. So overall I give Street Fighter 6 aaaaa
9/10
A great return for a legendary franchise, and I'm sure it will be a 10 after all the dlc comes out and a complete edition gets released.
