Street Fighter 6: a triumphant launch that delighted fans

After months of waiting, players were finally able to get their hands on the new Street Fighter last June. A highly anticipated release, particularly because of the very open story mode, and the new mechanics linked to Drive. Having, at launch, 18 playable characters including 6 new, Street Fighter 6 was able to please thanks to its content, its production, the quality of the animations and the possibility of playing in classic or modern mode. He was only accused ofn anecdotal scenario, and a form of solo repetitiveness. Nothing but the heart of the game therefore, and we understand why. Capcom certainly didn’t want to miss the launch of one of the most famous fighting game licenses in the world.

Nothing was going to get in the way of Street Fighter 6, and things went as planned. Tomorrow, players will officially be able to play as Ed, third character in the first wave of additional fighters after Rashid and AKI It will be followed in the spring by Akuma, who appeared for the first time in Super Street Fighter II Turbo. But if Capcom, which has been on the rise in recent years and which is now rarely missed, also prepared well for the launch of Street Fighter VI, that’s not for nothing. At the beginning of 2016, when Street Fighter V was released, it was a cold shower for a large part of the public.

Network problems were legion, the content was truly starving, and the balancing of the characters and the gameplay had a hard time convincing. However, the title was accessible, still just as demanding at high level, the V-Skill/V-Trigger provided a real plus and the attack was rewarded. Eight years after the release of the title, Capcom celebrated its anniversary… By apologizing to the public. Here is what this message tells us, translated from Japanese using Deepl, and checked by a Japanese speaker:

Strike V celebrates the 8th anniversary of its release. We are very sorry for the network issues and lack of content at the beginning and middle of the release… This was a disappointment for many of you. After careful consideration, the Street Fighter V development team worked as hard as possible during the mid-to-late stages of the game to resolve as many issues as possible. In the end, we were able to add 45 playable characters, V-Skill/Trigger II and V-Shift to the combat system.
Thanks to this, a large number of players have been playing Street Fighter V since season 4. I still remember how happy I was. Even today, hundreds of thousands of people play Street Fighter V. That makes me very happy too! And most importantly, we were able to use these thoughts in Street Fighter 6. I once again feel like I’ve been growing for eight years with all of you. I thank you with all my heart!

Street Fighter V has continued to evolve since its release, eventually giving itself a second lease of life with Street Fighter V: Champion Editon, officially launched in 2020. Street Fighter 6 will also continue to evolve throughout its existence but, one thing is certain, it is off to a much better start.
