Street Fighter 6 feels like a big step for the franchise, opening its doors to a wider pool of new players and making it easier to pick up than ever. That skill ceiling remains high, though, for the die-hards, and we're loving it.

Street Fighter 6 voelt aan als een grote stap voor de franchise, die zijn deuren opent voor een grotere groep nieuwe spelers en het makkelijker maakt om het spel op te pakken dan ooit. Het vaardigheidsplafond blijft echter hoog voor de die-hards, en daar houden we van.

Street Fighter games are always benchmark moments for the 2D fighting game genre, but Street Fighter 6 feels extra special. The Drive System is an incredible addition to the fighting mechanics that gives you a veritable Swiss Army knife of options and meter-management decisions right from the start of every single round, the starting roster is the best Street Fighter has ever seen, its online netcode through three betas has been impeccable so far, and the number of smaller details that it nails right out of the gate is unprecedented. It’s so good that even the poor story and extremely slow progression of the single-player World Tour amounts to only a jab’s worth of damage on its metaphorical health bar. Whether you’re completely new to fighting games or are a seasoned vet, Street Fighter 6 is a must play.

It took a while for Street Fighter 6 to arrive, and for good reason. The final product is slickly polished, packed with modes and headlined by its feature-rich online Battle Hub and ambitious single player World Tour. It’s a fighting game for everyone, with multiple control styles and vast accessibility options.
