What Are The New Characters In Street Fighter 6?
There are new characters and a closed beta update in today’s update. But take one step at a time. First of all, gameplay for Ken, E. Honda, Dhalsim, and Blanka, who have all been in previous Street Fighter games, was shown today. Their brand-new trailer is shown below.
All four of the returning characters have had big changes to how they look, and Ken and Blanka both have a couple of new moves. Ken now has new target combos and an EX special move that bounces off the ground and lets him do a follow-up attack. Blanka, on the other hand, has a special where he puts a Blanka-chan doll on the ground and shocks it, which makes it move (think of it like a Mini Faust from Guilty Gear).
The full roster includes a mixture of new and returning characters:
- Ryu
- Ken
- Zangief
- Dhalsim
- E. Honda
- Blanka
- Guile
- Chun-Li
- Cammy
- Juri
- Luke
- Dee Jay
- Kimberly
- Jamie
- Manon
- Marisa
- Lily
- JP
What Did The Trailer Of Street Fighter 6 Show?
This trailer also showed off the World Tour mode for Street Fighter 6. Luke is your coach in the story mode, and he’s probably the first player on the team you meet. As they go through the story mode, players can make their own fighter and learn special moves from other characters.
Battle Hub was also shown for a short amount of time. Inside, you can talk to other players, challenge them to fight, and join tournaments that are already going on. Some of the arcade machines also had the character selection screen from the first Final Fight game, which could mean that some classic arcade games are playable in Street Fighter 6.
Also shown was the Extreme game mode, which is similar to the Kustom Kombat mode in Mortal Kombat X. You play normally, but there are a number of changes that, in essence, make everything harder. The trailer ends with a short gameplay clip of your custom character taking part in the classic car crusher bonus stage.
