As it was on a slightly reduced price, I thought I'd give Street Fighter 6 a go. I've got to say, I quite like it.
I did initially think 'what the hell is going on?', but once I'd set it up with 6-button controls and spent a few hours, it's quite addictive (online anyway).
5 felt like a re-skin of 4, but 6 feels quite different.
The graphics are much better than 5 and it feels much more like you're smacking each other about, the way hits connect.
It is a bit annoying when paint starts flying everywhere and someone takes out 2/3 of your energy bar in some ridiculous combo thingy, so I'm hoping there's a way to counter that (I'm only 'Silver' ranking online).
Still got character 3D models standing through others, which is a bit iffy for 2025 and the menus and modes are confusing, so a few gripes. Soundtrack isn't as good as 3rd Strike either, but then very little is.
