Street Fighter 6 was, without a doubt, one of the outstanding titles of the last Sony State of Play that it celebrated just a week ago, when practically nobody gave a hard (five pesetas) because it was going to happen. But someone at PlayStation, and Capcom thought that the return of the fighting saga by definition would be a good claim to silence criticism in the face of such a drought of substantive titles in the new generation.
Put faces, even if they break it later
We were all clear that Street Fighter 6 could not surprise us too much as far as development is concerned. It is a fighting game, its roster of combatants is quite well known and it has abilities that in many cases we have been enjoying in previous titles and only the graphic part, the artistic work, small innovations and the new additions could cause this sixth installment surprise fans of the genre. And she has.
In any case, Capcom has decided to gradually reveal the little novelties that it is thinking of implementing and that we have never seen before in the franchise. And one of the funniest, because it’s going to serve to give the game an extra bit of fun, and who knows if it’s about content that we can unlock, such as the goal celebrations in FIFAare the faces that we can put on all the opponents whom we face.
Yes, yes, you read correctly. We talked about making faces, about indicate to the contrary that we are not impressed, that we are challenging him, that the same if we walk a little distressed or what goes through our heads at that moment and that we think can help win the fight. The truth is that we will have to carefully measure what we do and to whom we do it, lest later, after so much challenge and bravado, they break our faces with two well-aimed blows. Right below you have a sample of what that function will look like inside Streetfighter 6.
A specific moment of the fight
This possibility of gesturing seeks to distract the enemy or, as Capcom says in the official account of the game, show your “attitude with the Game Face function […] pressing the directional buttons during the versus screen«. This point is important because we will not be able to make faces during the fight, in a small cake break between the contenders, but while they are heading towards the fight, in the moments before the fight.
As we say, these gestures, like the celebrations of the goals of FIFA or the dances of Fortnite, could become more than interesting items to collect, unlock them and maybe buy them through micropayments? Capcom has not said anything about it but while an official confirmation arrives, it is good to go through all the possible scenarios.
What is certain is that in Street Fighter 6 the start of the fighting is going to be tighter than ever, especially if the Japanese give some moral value when fighting in the game. Can you imagine that they printed some extra on the stats of Ryu before jumping into the ring? It wouldn’t be bad, right?
