9/10 I Street Fighter 6 A far better launch experience than its predecessor, with an excellent fighting system and a wide range of options and features that transcend the usual genre traditions.
eventually became a great game it never fully overcame its weak launch, with its lack of single-player content, general sparsity of modes and options, and the fact that it was a PlayStation console exclusive. None of these are issues for Street Fighter 6.
Although one in-game currency, Drive Tickets, can only be earnt another can be bought with real money to buy cosmetic extras. On top of the character DLC there’s also a battle pass planned, including both a free set of rewards and ones you have to pay extra for. In other words, every grubby monetisation trick in the book, but you can at least say that Capcom is being up front about it and has promised that everything you buy, apart from the new characters, is purely cosmetic.
It's not entirely successful though, as the one obvious flaw is that for a story mode the plot is entirely uninteresting and completely predictable. Capcom has also always had trouble characterising its fighters outside of the action itself and they all seem very flat and one-dimensional here - which isn’t helped by the fact that your custom character never speaks or has any personality of their own.
The other six newcomers are Jamie, Kimberly, Lily, Manon, Marisa, and JP - all of whom are interesting. Kimberly, the surprisingly chirpy ninja, is an early favourite, with her handy smoke bomb and teleportation attacks, and we also like Jaime’s take on the drunken master trope, as the more booze he downs the more powerful he gets .
