Street Fighter 6
Play it on: PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Windows
My current goal: Trying to get comfy with all the new features
Street Fighter 6 is lighting up the charts by pulling off that rarest of feats: appealing to both die-hard fighting freaks and babe-in-the-woods newcomers. I’m somewhere in the middle, but am having a bit of a tough time getting used to all the new systems. I’m just a simple Zangief dummy at heart, so having to work up a new gameplan around Drive Impact, Drive Rush, all that new stuff is taxing the old neurons. But I wanna persist, because Street Fighter 6 is sparking a mass-moment of a sort that its messy, compromised predecessor could only have dreamed of. Heck, I’m doing a four-player team battle with some internet pals tonight. Maybe I’ll run into you online. — Alexandra Hall
