Street Fighter 6 is an amazing entry in the franchise that has such a unique style that makes it amazing.
It celebrates the diverse cultures and gives it a funky edge with all the characters and locations it shows.
The fighting is absolutely fantastic with it's 2 different play style for both Classic players and Modern players.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The game is split into 3 different modes:
1- World Tour (Story Mode) - A story that has you create a custom character, and go through a journey of learning what TRUE STRENGTH is. The mode is a nice addition to the franchise as we see more mellowed out Street Fighter characters living their peaceful lives after the death of BISON... at the same time a new threat appears. You have rival name Bosh who is your rival and friend who turns down a dark path. You improve yourself by getting into street fighters with NPCs of different levels. Your character can also learn from the characters themselves, training under them, learning their moves to make yourself a formidable opponent. Throughout the game you learn more and more of what each of the characters are doing with their lives post SF3. You can also wear awesome outfits to make yourself unique and also you can improve said gear to give you the edge over your opponents! You go through this interesting story, that leaves in a...intriguing yet disappointing cliffhanger.
2- Battle Hub - Here you can fight by either fighting in the middle of the ring as your CAC, though be careful with higher level players or experts! You can also participate and spectate in cabinet matches which essentially the Battle hub contains a bunch of cabinets where you and your friends can huddle up and fight with the Street Fighter Roster (Custom Character not included).
3- Fighting Ground - This mode contains the regular versus match, along with Arcade mode, Training, etc.
Here is where the game restricts you to specifically only being able to use the roster.
Arcade mode here gives you extra story bits involving all the characters and what they're doing post SF3.

The roster is perfect but can also be seen as disappointing,
disappointing in the sense of in comparison to Street Fighter 5, this roster is smaller, but considering that Street Fighter 5 has a small roster to start, and had a bunch of DLC characters added later.
The combat this, they overhauled the gameplay to fit both classic and modern controls and to make every character seem unique and have certain edges that other characters don't. The game gave proper time, care, and animations to each character (Cammy especially😍🍑❤️🔥)
The roster consists of:
- Ryu
- Ken Masters
-Chun Li
-Edmond Honda (E-HONDA)
-Blanka
-Guile
-Zangief
-Dhalsim
-Luke
-Jamie
-Kimberly
-Manon
-Marisa
-Lily
-DeeJay
-Juri Han
-Cammy White
-JP (Johan Petrovich)
-Rashid (DLC)
And more characters are coming later via the Fighter Pass.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The story mode is fine for what it is, I think the introduction of JP as sort of the next MAIN VILLIAN of the Street Fighter franchise is a good step forward, I always appreciate when games, shows, etc, make new villains and not constantly rely on old ones.
(For example: Mortal Kombat 1 including SHANG TSUNG as a character. Now if his inclusion is for gameplay only and not story, then it's fine. But if it's also in the story, that's just lame and repetitive. If Street Fighter 6 includes M. Bison as a dlc character without any story ties it, that too would be fine for me. But always relying on the same main villain gets repetitive and lazy.)
The issue with the story comes from how your character is a silent protag, even though during creation, you can choose their voices. It's really annoying that they decided to do that since a lot of story elements required a voiced response/reaction to certain events. Another issue is the relationship with Bosch is misleading due to how the game presents you as if you rivalry is that of Red and Blue from Pokemon, when infact, Bosch sort of disappears halfway through the game, and becomes the second to last final boss. Really think the game should've shown more friendly, slice of life moments with him, along with actual fights with him, in order to feel more of an impact.
Another aspect I found kind of disappointing is how the actual Street Fighter characters don't get involved apart from cutscenes, and really only make friends with characters like Li Fen (adoptive sister or daughter of Chun Li), and characters from Final Fight, since the game takes place primarily in METRO CITY. I'm surprised especially at the end of the game that Cammy and Kimberly specifically don't show up, especially since they suspect JP of evil intent.
Also it's sort of disappointing the game leaves the end like a Cliffhanger of sorts, where after defeating JP, he asks you "so you defeated me, but what have you gained in doing so?"
As the credits roll... bruh that's how they end it? And yeah sure you can go around and continue training with the masters and completing their training to unlock their classic skins/secondary outfits. As well as train under the dlc masters when they release. But honestly I hope more story expansion are added, cause the end of the story is really disappointing.

The game features... a battle pass. It's mainly for wanting to collect unique outfit peaces, and battle cards, but legit it seems like a waste since you can't use your custom character in regular versus mode, maybe CAPCOM will add that as a feature in a future update, who knows.
Another thing they added was Fighter Tokens you can use to purchase new characters, costumes, emotes, and character colors. While I do appreciate them giving players a way to unlock DLC characters for free, clearly they were smart enough to know not to give you enough in order to unlock.
What I mean is the game uses FIGHTER DRIVE POINTS and FIGHTER TOKENS like how Fifa uses FIFA COINS and FIFA POINTS.
In FIFA, the game gives you coins as you play the game, and or sell players. The thing is you'll always be behind a couple in order to open packs... so as an alternative, FIFA offers FIFA POINTS to allow you to buy the packs with REAL LIFE CURRENCY.
The same applies here, except the only plus I can give here, is that you know what you're buying with the points, still kind of greedy if you ask me. I'd rather just buy the DLC characters with colors and costumes, instead of buying THE CHARACTER, THE COSTUMES, and THE COSTUME COLORS separately.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Still regardless the gameplay is amazing, the music is spectacular, the character roster is overhauled and enhanced even with how little it is. The models are all high quality and fit the next generation style.
Cammy's ass is fantastic, as are Chun Li's Thighs!
This is a great entry in the franchise, and a great entry way to new comers! I highly recommend Street Fighter 6 even with it's faults. Spectacular fighter!
