Classic street fighter built for a modern era
Following our teaser trailer in February, we hinted at a more hyper-realistic look for Street Fighter 6. We’re proud to announce that this new entry in the series is being built on Capcom’s own RE engine – previously used to create Resident Evil 7, Resident Evil Village, and Devil May Cry. Notice. Sweat beads will roll across the skin, muscles will be tense when used, and cherry blossom petals will flutter and rotate in harmony with a character’s movements. Upgrade these graphics with an explosive splash of paint and attractive graffiti treatments and you’ll end up with an art style different from Street Fighter 6’s.
Meet the first character
And what is Street Fighter without the iconic roster of characters? Back in Street Fighter 6 are Ryu, Chun-li and Luke, all of whom have redesigned for this new era. Joining them is a brand new face, Jamie who will add his own character to the game with his unexpected move – based on drunken boxing – which includes breakdanceing and drinking a key-unleashing drink.
Luke uses his background as a contractor for a private military company to teach mixed martial arts. He spends his days eating junk food, playing video games and challenging opponents in a good old fight. Yet, in his eyes there is always victory.
Select move:
- DDT – A strong throw is activated after the first blow of an overdrive (OD) flash knock. Useful for when you want guaranteed extra damage.
- Fatal shot – Fire an additional shockwave after the OD sand blast to protect further damage after the trading projectile.
Jamie is a peacekeeper from Chinatown who wants to follow in the footsteps of Eun and Young, the Twin Dragons. An expert dancer, Jamie puts justice and friendship above all else, defending his city with martial arts.
Select move:
- The devil inside – Jamie comes out of his key-unleashing drink to raise his drink level. Unlock access to higher level extra steps.
- Enlightened Dive Kick (Drink Level 1+) – While jumping forward, Jamie stretches his legs and quickly falls to the ground. Useful as a surprise attack or as a way to stop at a distance.
Ryu continues to train in his endless quest to find true strength. Virtuous and sincere, he travels the world in search of a worthy opponent. After overcoming Satsui No Hado, he is now longing for something bigger.
Select move:
- Hashogeki – The Ryu key is centered on the palm of his hand and moves it forward. Useful as follow-up after block strings and combos.
- Denjin charge – Ryu binds his fist with the power of emptiness, special rice such as Hadoken and Hashogeki improves. Ryu is weak when performing this step, so caution is important.
Chun-li is a former agent of the ICPO (International Criminal Police Investigation). He now looks after Lee Fen, a victim of the Black Moon incident from Street Fighter V. Now that Shadalu has fallen, Chun-li teaches kung fu classes and has become a favorite member of the local community.
Select move:
- Tenshaw Kicks – Chun-li kicks in the air. Useful for dealing with an opponent’s jump attack or stopping the combo.
- The flow of peace – Chun-li moves to a low, steady fighting position. While in this position, Chun-li’s normal attack buttons change.
A war system built for creativity
With each new Street Fighter comes mechanics that you can master to get to the top. Introducing, the drive system, a gauge that you have to manage intelligently and mature with creativity. You can use drive gauge to perform five different strategies that can easily increase your offense or defense.
A drive impact is a powerful strike that can absorb an opponent’s incoming attack and cause a wall splat. Use the drive parry to repel your opponent’s attack and replenish your drive gauge. Quickly close your opponent from a normal attack in a drive parry or drive rash. The overdrive arts are like the EX moves of past games that reinforce your special moves. Use Drive Reversal to get you out of a difficult situation to carry out a counter attack. One gauge, five strategies, unlimited possibilities. Use your creativity to choose when to use a strategy. It’s all in your hands!
Drive system overview
A modern type of control for everyone
For those who are concerned that fighting game inputs are too complex and only want to reveal your inner warrior, we have a solution in the form of a new control type option. First, the classic control type is what seniors can expect to use for inputs with its six-button layout. New to Street Fighter 6 is the modern control type, which allows easy input where a special step can be taken by combining the “Special Move” button with a directional input. It is suitable for new players or those who have found classic command inputs a bit difficult in the past. With the modern control type, your character will perform some of their most striking (and best) attacks with just a few button presses. Modern control type is optional, but we recommend that new players try it once!
Write real time comment feature
Finally, we’re glad to announce a new feature that will add all the hype to a competitive match, not just one. Write real time comment features. We’re working with well-known FGC (Fight Game Community) commentators and other recognized faces to incorporate their voices directly into the game! Write a match and if the fight goes on, their voices will describe what is happening on the screen like a real tournament. In addition to the added excitement, this feature will also provide an easy-to-understand explanation of the gameplay. This will help anyone new to Street Fighter to have a better understanding of the mechanics to use for future combat! The real-time commentary feature will support subtitles in 13 languages for greater accessibility. The first legendary commentators to join this feature are Vicius and Aru! We will announce the rest of the lineup in the future.
To set foot in a new world
Let’s talk briefly about the two new and basic modes you’ve seen in recent trailers: World Tour and Battle Hub. World Tour is a single-player immersive story mode that pushes the boundaries of what a fighting game is and allows you to leave your own legacy in Street Fighter 6 with your player avatar. And while Battle Hub – shown briefly at the end of the trailer – seems like a place for online matches, it will also bring new and unique engagement and communication forms. Both of these modes require a deeper dive into the future and we cannot wait to discuss them in more detail.
We call this “your moment.” Your Fight. ”Whether it’s through a wide range of new modes, the right options to enhance your experience, or the possibilities of a drive system, Street Fighter 6 is the future of the fighting game genre উপলব্ধ PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 available in 2023! (Psst, you finally Did you notice something on the Battle Hub screen?)
