Street Fighter 6 Reviews
Street Fighter 6 is Capcom getting back on its feet after the previous chapter's half-slide, taking note of what was wrong and finding the courage to further refine the combat system of its most famous series, imagining convincing mechanics and expressing a desire to open up fighting to the widest possible audience. The result is absolutely recommended.

Street Fighter 6 is in a league of its own, and one of the best fighting games in decades.
Street Fighter 6 comes out of its corner swinging and delivers a three-hit combo of modes that will leave fight fans floored.
Street Fighter 6 is an absolute humdinger of a sequel.
Street Fighter 6 feels like it’s here to send a message that it’s still the top dog of the fighting game genre.
Capcom has given us a complete game right out of the box. The single player experiences are enormous. The online experience is perfect. Street Fighter lore is littered in every nook and cranny of this game. There are modes and modes within modes. This is one of the best Street Fighter games in the history of the franchise. If Capcom hurt you in the past, this is their apology. Street Fighter 6 is a new classic that people will be playing for years to come.
And that’s just scratching the surface of the game’s pleasures. There’s the professional match commentary, the surprising character details and bond system in World Tour, the fabulously nonbinary tournament emcee Eternity, the return of bonus stages, the battle-rap style intros for Versus matches, the create-a-character’s intricacies actually affecting gameplay, the character-specific voice lines during the Arcade mode’s final boss fights. Which is to say, Street Fighter 6 is the most feature-rich, welcoming, and inclusive package ever crafted for a fighting game—a stylish reassertion of creative dominance for the series that started it all, and an endlessly rewarding new foundation for its future. The next generation of fighting games starts right here.
Even with my figurative shrug at World Tour mode, it’s easy to see Street Fighter 6 as an achievement for Capcom. There was so much up and down with Street Fighter 5 that sucked the joy out of having a new one, and really only people who showed up years later got the full package. The esports vibe was an understandable experiment, but not one that fully landed. Street Fighter 6 on the other hand is like smashing open a pinata. It’s bursting with energy, style and content in a way very few fighting games have ever managed, even ones praised for single-player offerings. It not only feels like there’s something for everyone here, but it feels like there’s a genuine foundation for a community to grow and thrive. And I definitely plan to stick around and see how that shakes out.
The Street Fighter team has really gone the extra mile with Street Fighter 6 and it shows. Its new World Tour campaign provides hours of fun single-player content while also teaching newcomers to the game. The new modern controls, meanwhile, provide a fresh and more accessible alternative to Street Fighter’s classic control scheme while the new Drive mechanics add more depth to the psychology of fights — including the cat-and-mouse game between players. It’s a must-have whether you’re a Street Fighter veteran or a newcomer to the franchise.
With option-rich mechanics, community-centric online features, numerous entertaining modes, and excellent netcode, Street Fighter 6 is a fighting game both casual and hard-core genre fans will love.
Street Fighter 6 is the new milestone of the genre. A mass of content never seen in fighting games, two distinct single player modes and an experimental and innovative online component.

The keys to Street Fighter 6 are undoubtedly three: Spectacular, spacious and accessible. Its combat is a marvel of fun and the Battle Hub looks to have us hooked for a long time, but if you just want to try it, play with friends from time to time and pass the story to a single player, the World Tour mode and the Modern control will delight you. Few buts we can put to the one who, at the moment, is crowned as King of the Fight in this 2023 that seems like one of the most interesting of the genre for almost a decade. Let Mortal Kombat 1 and Tekken 8 hold on tight, because Street Fighter 6 is here to win.

Street Fighter 6 is the redemption of the series. The way it presents a huge amount of content will make fans smile. The only setback is the poor execution of the World Tour.

This is the first Street Fighter game in a long time where it feels like players of all skill levels are welcome. While World Tour mode is disappointing, the sheer scope of SF6 means you don't need to wait for the inevitable Ultra Edition before jumping in.
It’s the epitome of what a fighting game should be, and I can’t wait to see how the series builds off of this return to form
Street Fighter 6 delivers a deep, complex, and satisfying fighting game bristling with fun new characters and an excellent multiplayer mode. Unfortunately, all of that's shackled to a truly terrible single-player RPG that stands as one of the most embarrassing things Capcom has released in years. If you're here for online play, you'll love it. If you want single-player action, stay far away.
Street Fighter 6 is one of the easiest on-ramps to the deep world of fighting games, appealing to casual players and veterans alike. With a diverse roster, meaty gameplay, and flashy animations, this will be a FGC staple for years to come.
Street Fighter 6 is a profoundly rich and diverse fighting game, living up to the series' legacy. Crafted for everyone, the game entices experimentation, fun, and mastery through online play and a unique campaign that can acclimate all to the genre's complexities.
The new Street Fighter 6 will satisfy everyone, from newcomers to the genre looking for a low entry threshold and a good single player to veterans hoping for esports depth and solid network code.
