As its name suggests, the World Tour single player mode will not only take us around Metro City, the fictional American city of Final Fight, but will do justice to the “World Warrior” concept of Street Fighter 2 by taking players on a journey around the world. Respectively represented by Dee Jay but also the “little” new ones Manon and Marisa, Jamaica, France and Italy are among the playgrounds that you can explore with your avatar, who will learn new techniques from contact with certain grand masters, who are none other than the fighters of the game. The idea being to be able to assimilate and combine techniques from different masters to perform Hadoken, sonic boom, Spinning Bird Kick Where Yoga Flame as long as those moves aren’t assigned to identical controls, we’re told.
Capcom went so far as to use these combat techniques as a way to reach inaccessible places while exploring World Tour mode. the Spinning Bird Kick allows for example to progress from roof to roof. Illustration below and on the game’s official website.
Also specific to World Tour mode, the function Master Assist will allow players to fight alongside a master like Ryu by enlisting his help in the midst of battle. This support will only last a while but will always be useful, if only to rebalance the debates against opponents in numerical superiority.
“Finally, players will be able to let off steam between two grueling battles by participating in mini-games such as bottle smashing, Italian cuisine, basketball parade and many more. Mini-games can be completed between matches as part-time jobs where players can earn World Tour currency to purchase clothing, food, and other in-game items“, adds the press release.
Hey Mr Dee Jay
Appearing for the first time in Super Street Fighter II, Dee Jay stays true to himself and returns to us with a new festive setting by the sea bathed in the setting sun, Bathers Beach. Generous, Capcom has also confirmed three of the new fighters of this opus, whose look and nationality had certainly already been discovered via leaks. Honor to France with Manon, model and world judo champion whose fighting style incorporates classical ballet steps. Manon will have the pleasure of making her partners dance in a fairground setting in France.
A jewelry designer in Italy, Marisa mostly claims ancestry among ancient Greek warriors. As you might expect, this 2.03m giant unleashes slow but devastating blows. It is under the cheers of the crowd and ancient fighters that she will savor her victories in her appointed setting, the Colosseum. A true gentleman, as evidenced by his affection for his cat Cybele, JP is the head of a wealthy non-governmental organization and has made many successful investments. More than its backdrop, it is above all its fighting style based on a mysterious force that intrigues.
The detail of the three editions now available for pre-order tells us in particular that 4 fighters will be added to the 18 base during the first year of the game and that a new currency named Drive tickets will allow for in-game purchases, likely cosmetic in nature. In case of pre-order, PS5 and PS4 players will be entitled to a small bonus in the form of 18 special titles and 18 character stickers to use to personalize their profile.
Finally, note that owners of Street Fighter V: Champion Edition will receive Super Street Fighter II Turbo in the Battle Hub of street fighter 6provided you create a Capcom ID and link it to their platform.
