At the Tokyo Game Show 2022, Capcom announced it will let players create their own Street Fighter 6 avatars and bring them to the ring.
The avatar creation feature comes with many customization options for players to showcase their unique styles and personality.
Players will develop their avatar’s strength in Street Fights with other non-playable characters as they advance through the immersive story mode. They will also encounter experts like Ryu and Chun-Li who will teach them their own special moves.
The Battle Hub, which acts as the lobby area to locate matches against other players from across the world including online tournaments, allows players to enter their own avatars. Two players can start a match when they sit down at one of the arcade cabinets. When feeling retro, players can stop by the Game Center to play titles such as Final Fight and Street Fighter II.
Capcom also announced the return of four World Warriors:
- Ken – Accusations of orchestrating a criminal plot have forced Ken, a former US National Fighting Champion and ex-VP of the Masters Foundation, to abandon his family and business to go into hiding. As a legend in the Street Fighter series, Ken packs a classic move set with new additions that keep things fresh.
- Blanka – A kindhearted adventure tour guide and defender of nature, Blanka features his signature Electric Thunder and Rolling Attacks, plus brand new Blanka-chan Bombs and the return of his Lightning Beast move.
- Dhalsim – A monk and yoga master, Dhalsim channels his familiar fire techniques from past games while also mastering moves like Yoga Fire, Yoga Arch, Yoga Comet, and Yoga Flame.
- E. Honda – A globetrotting sumo wrestler, E. Honda combines old with new, bringing back his trademark moves like Hundred Hand Slap and Sumo Headbutt, plus his brand new Sumo Dash where he moves forward with a traditional sumo shuffle.
A Closed Beta is also coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam with cross-play, from October 7-10, 2022. Fans will be able to try out Ranked Match, Casual Match, Battle Hub Match, Open Tournament, Extreme Battle, Game Center, and Training Mode. The following characters will be available: Ryu, Chun-Li, Luke, Jamie, Guile, Kimberly, Juri, and Ken.
