***THE OFFICIAL STREET FIGHTER 6 THREAD***
I still don't have a Playstation 5 so I'm probably going to miss out on the early access when it drops this summer, but it still looks good. The Cammy design is fucking sweet and Zangief busting out a Jackhammer puts a smile on my face.
What is even the story? I didn't really find the narratives of 4 and 5 to be particularly interesting, and a lot of characters didn't really seem to serve a purpose as a result. What's everyone's take so far? Also, close and/or delete this if there was already a thread for this. No matter what may happen to me, just remember Lzzy Hale gave me the bedroom eyes... ...again.

I actually wanted to make a thread on this but just never got around to it. Really excited by what I've seen so far.
Marked out hard for cammy having that move from the animated movie. Going to have to learn stick to play this. |

I think I'm going to main Cammy this time around, unless there ends up being a character like Falke from Street Fighter V where they're easy to control.

Going back to Juri for sure since she's getting sf4 stuff back. The gladiator chick looks cool too.

Juri was my secondary in Street Fighter 4. She was wild and chaotic and wasn't a complete chore to learn. They changed too much with her in Street Fighter 5 for me to bother. I did like how her Pinwheel Kick was changed to be more anti-air, though. I probably could have tried harder to learn her, or anyone else for that matter, but once I got the hang of Falke, I didn't see the need. If they get her back to what she was like in the fourth game, I'll likely give her a go. If nothing else, she's always a great design for clothing.
Of course, the new characters are also tempting. Like you pointed out, Marisa looks cool. It's like they saw Rhonda Rousey and said, "Could be beefier". Not sure how intimidating a dude called JP is going to be though, but it's good how we're getting more than just 4 new characters from the beginning. |

Might be foolish optimism, but I'm still hoping the last 4 characters from the leak are in the game as hidden characters, or even this game's equivalent of the 4 kings.

From wikipedia:
_________________________________________________________ Street Fighter 6 features three overarching game modes: Fighting Ground, World Tour, and Battle Hub.[1] Fighting Ground contains local and online versus battles as well as training and arcade modes, all featuring similar 2D fighting gameplay to the previous games in the series, in which two fighters use a variety of attacks and special abilities to knock out their opponent. World Tour is a single-player story mode featuring a customizable player avatar exploring 3D environments with action-adventure gameplay. Battle Hub acts as an online lobby mode, using customizable player avatars from the World Tour mode, with other features set to be revealed in the future.[1] The main fighting gameplay of Street Fighter 6 is based around the Drive Gauge, a system designed to encourage player creativity. The gauge can be used for five different techniques, requiring players to choose which to prioritize. Most of the Drive Gauge's mechanics are based on previously existing mechanics from previous Street Fighter mainline games, such as Parry, Focus Attack, EX move, etc.[1] The game features three control types: the "classic" control scheme has a six-button layout that functions similarly to previous entries, the "modern" control scheme assigns special moves to a single button combined with a directional input,[1] and the "dynamic" control scheme, which is only allowed in certain parts in the Fighting Ground mode, but is not allowed in online battles, uses a single button auto attack layout, based on what range is performed. The use of multiple super combos returns from the Street Fighter Alpha sub-series, also counting the Ultra Combo W variant from Ultra Street Fighter IV. However, each character only has three super combos based on their respective level gauge. For example, Ryu's Shinku Hadoken, Shin Hashogeki and Shin Shoryuken can only be used at Level 1, 2 and 3 respectively.[2] A real-time commentary system is a brand new feature in Street Fighter 6, where English and/or Japanese play-by-play and color commentators watch the action in real-time, giving it a more tournament-style feel. ______________________________________________________ It's always struck me how fighting games continue to come up with new things but I never would have thought we'd approach open world-esque gameplay Last edited by M-A-G; 03-25-2023 at 04:32 AM. |

The roster as it stands now. 16 was the same amount as Street Fighter 5, but with more new characters:
Blanka Cammy Chun-Li Dee Jay Dhalsim E. Honda Guile Jamie JP Juri Ken Kimberly Lily Luke Manon Marisa Ryu Zangief Dee Jay making a comeback is a surprise. I'm going to be a bit of a buzzkill here as I've never really put much importance on having the "original" 8. |

The game looks outstanding. I love zangief has more of an Eddie Hall physique instead of his usual bodybuilder look. And two grapplers at launch is also dope. I lean toward either zoners or command grabs so it looks like I'll have a ton of options

Well, seeing as this is going to end up on the Playstation 4 after all, it'd probably be for the best that I just pick it up for that console instead of dropping 600 on a Playstation 5. I'm sure it'll be scaled back in some way, but, whatever.

I propose that the first 8 TPWWers who pick up the game immediately get online for a tournament against each other without prior play experience just for shits and giggles.

I was thinking about this and tekken and with mk12 coming out this yeah i dunno if ill pick up either of these. My backlog is absurd and i definitely cant manage multiple fighting games at the same time.
I think though all 3 will be the only games of this gen from these franchises. The live service model makes a ton of sense for sports/fighting games. One frequently updated game across a consoles life span seems like the best way to go. We might see all the major titles dropping in the same year going forward. Seems possible at the least. |

There's supposed to be some kind of showcase or whatever for the game later today. I'm sure we're getting more details, maybe some word on DLC.

I guess now is as good a time as any to talk about the sick beats coming from this game. I don't know how memorable these themes will be down the road, but I appreciate them doing something different from re-doing the same stuff from Street Fighter 2.

I feel like they could have kept more of the original themes in there while still making it sound fresh with the urban beats tone.
As it is, the music is good but not particularly memorable. |

Looks and sounds good and all, but I doubt I'd be getting into the World Tour mode. Having easier ways to pull off special moves is very appealing to a dumbass like me. |

It's better, but her first theme is probably one of the best tracks to come out after sf2. Like, top 3.
So this still makes me sad. |

The demo only allows you to play Ryu or Luke.
The demo's purpose is mainly to show off world tour and give you a tutorial of the primary mechanics |

Yeah, I was messing around with it this morning after I let it download during the night. 9 GB is pretty big and what we get is fairly generous. Ryu just isn't my bag, but it handles well. The commentary adds to the experience, too.

So an open beta for the game has been announced starting 10 days from now. Sadly, it's not for any Playstation 4 users so I want to let anyone who's going to be playing it know that I hate you and I hope your catalytic converter gets stolen.

These are sort of neat, I suppose, but I have to say Kimberly and Jamie seem like the least interesting out of the new characters.
