![]() In the fighting games sector of the E-sports world, the prize pools are decent but definitely modest compared to other genres. In addition to the sponsorships that professional gamers garner, one of the primary ways pro-E-sports players pay their bills is through earning prize money. We are truly in a glorious time for the industry. Instead of being seen as nerdy neckbeards without a job or life, Major League gamers are now viewed as nerdy neckbeards who've made video games both their life and livelihood. Who wants to be a millionaire? □ /uVguQvX4Xc- Street Fighter February 20, 2023Įven though there are still quite a few vocal detractors about the world of professional gaming/ E-sports, the field has basically vanquished a majority of negative perspectives surrounding the gig and its practitioners. Not to mention it harkens back to the days of Street Fighter 3, which is appropriate since Street Fighter 6 canonically takes place after that game, making it the most recent entry in the series timeline.Capcom Cup X will be played on Street Fighter 6 with the winner receiving a whopping $1,000,000! ![]() The in-your-face attitude of the presentation and music is more energising than annoying. The hip hop theme could’ve risked coming across as too try-hard, but Street Fighter 6 owns it well. Sure, the characters are more realistic looking, but they haven’t strayed too far from the series’ anime inspired roots, with matches literally bursting with colour when certain moves land, complimenting the graffiti art influences. The game even boasts detailed customisation options for visually impaired players so they can play more easily.Īll this is wrapped up in some impressive visual flair and presentation. Now it’s possible to pull off those flashy special moves with just a directional input and a button press. Its tutorials are already above and beyond Street Fighter 5’s, by being more in-depth, but the game also offers an alternative and simplified control scheme akin to Super Smash Bros. If anything, Street Fighter 6 is set to be the most accessible entry in the series. However, Street Fighter 6 isn’t so wrapped up with appealing to diehard fans and competitive players that it neglects would-be newcomers. ![]() It’s far more of a social environment than just a selection of static menus. This even extends to the online battle hub mode, which features an incredibly campy host in the form of Eternity (a no doubt deliberate reference to Chris Tucker’s character in The Fifth Element) and goofy alternate match types called extreme battles, like one where you and your opponent need to avoid being run over by a stampeding bull.Īside from the game boasting mostly solid netcode (meaning laggy matches should be the minority and not the norm), the battle hub serves as an open space for players to interact in and show off their custom character. As your own custom character (be they a self-insert OC or a hideous abomination birthed from your nightmares), you’ll get to explore open environments and be trained by Street Fighter icons like Ryu and Chun-Li.Ī lot of the finer details are currently a mystery, but what we’ve seen from trailers is far more engaging than any of Street Fighter 5’s single-player offerings, promising a more jovial tone compared to the rather po-faced A Shadow Falls story mode, as well as interesting deviations from the traditional one-on-one matches. ![]() ![]() Though not the first entry to feature a dedicated story mode, Street Fighter 6’s World Tour Mode is already vastly more interesting than the usual arcade routes that reward you with maybe one cut scene or some pretty artwork. Its base roster is only marginally larger than Street Fighter 5’s (18 characters compared to 16), but there’ll be much more to do than just play a basic training mode and online matches.
