Street Fighter 6: Twenty fist-pounding minutes of new hands-on PS5 gameplay

September 16, 2022VG247

Better fighters, better modes, better get some practice. Street Fighter 6 is looking polished as hell – let’s make that clear from the off. It represents a massive course-correction from the controversial mis-steps of SFV, but it hasn’t jettisoned everything from the previous game: everything salvageable has been iterated and improved upon, resulting in a blend of SF4, SF5, and a breadth of new ideas. Juri’s back, with a mix of moves from both her SF4 and SF5 incarnation. Alex’s hands-on session with the Tokyo Game Show build focused on four newly revealed characters: the powerful but unwieldy Guile, for…

Yeah. That’s not what the series is remembered for at all. The series is really remembered for Street Fighter 2, of course. In fact,…
