So Street Fighter 6 has had its first birthday! With year 1 wrapping up and starting into year 2 we got tons of little goodies. Besides whats shown in the video there's actually way more so check the official SF twitter where you will see tons of tweets about it lol. Popularity contest? You got it (VOTE FOR HAKAN SO HE CAN LIVE AGAIN), detailed stats? Love it. Also just some thoughts about year 1 as a whole, all the ups and downs of it. So give the vid a watch and lemme know what you think!

Yo 25 percent on modern is amazing! There are now people playing who would never have played before, huge win

I don't think people realize how insanely smart world tour is. Casual non-fgc players who only know street fighter is a "Video game" got and played and even *enjoyed* world tour for *tens* of hours before they eventually ***got mad*** that they were tricked into playing a fighting game. Now these are the sillier vocal people. Dial back a bit and people who haven't played fighting games but see the appeal? Well they got a 20-30hr campaign to bite into, that surprisingly, teases you into learning how to play the basics of a fg. And thanks to the *equally* brilliant thing of modern? It being an option, but not a mandate? Brilliant. Modern players will comfortably be able to 'play'. Have basic combos but still have to learn how to do things like hit confirm and know when to just full send resources and when to pump the breaks. But if they push on they might see 'hey this guy is playing the same character as me but he has a button that I don't ' . and they can come and try classic control. they can hate it or they can stick with it for the granular control you get. Neither feels worse or better but rather you get trade-offs for most characters with it. For old-heads the tradeoff isn't worth. For someone who can't do a dp motion yet? and hey even some people who are looking at 1 button dps and going 'woah momma' ? modern is there waiting for you. And that's just that. Capcom hit all the right notes just right. Even if the first year was INFURIATING for some. (Hi, gief main here). It was still a fantastic fighting game at its core and that infuriation, I think you even said in the past, was specifically because it was just *so close* to being perfect and then it fell on its nose and didn't care to stop the bleeding until year 2 started. Absolutely infuriating but the balance patch has definitely smoothed over a lot of ruffled feathers. And bonus points pissed off ken players.

You could put an irrelevant SF1 character like Mike or Joe or someone like Rufus as the starting option and they'll get a decent amount of votes. A.K.I. is a good character and deserves to come back but she's not entirely winning on her own. At least we know Capcom likes her and didn't put Adon first on the options list.

The game has been great, to be honest I am happy they took the slower route with the patches as it gives the game time to breathe and have a good look at what changes are needed. Good Job CAPCOM

I think its probably just the new costumes and almost everything in this game are high enough quality that they take much longer time to develop. Physics, textures, and modeling are all WAY more in depth than street fighter has ever had.

Adding more color palettes seems like it would be such a simple but needed addition. I wish more characters had a selection like Ken's classic outfit or any of Rashid's outfits with bright, solid colors and minor accenting at most. Even though my color (and username) is cyan, I'm fine with settling for a nice blue, but then sometimes the only good blue is also like 1/3 orange or yellow.

I voted for Akira, I am still waiting for a Rival Schools remake.

The game is definitely my favourite fighting game ever and this is from someone who loves the classics too. This has the style and substance other 3D efforts were lacking (yeah even SF4) I think despite the valid and the pretty invalid criticisms people have of this game there's no denying it's on top of its competition and I think they deserve to be on top much more than the other two of the big three. Also AKI is cool and easily one of my favourite characters in fighting games now so if she's coming back in the future I'm down for it.

just putting a yakuza-lite game in as the fighting game single player is such a genius fit, I hope in the future they expand on this and make something that's actually as good as a yakuza game and then there's a full street fighter game attached to it

I wonder what is the realistic chance of the gorilla being part of season 2

I'm hopeful that now that everyone has an outfit 3, we can get some collaboration & seasonal costumes for some of the characters. Like, it doesn't have to be everyone all the time, but a few outfits for a few characters at a better pace would be nice. The game's already sold more than 4 million copies (you can tell from the number of players in ranked), so any DLC outfit at this point probably pays for itself and then some.

My boy Vega, we will get you one day

I did the math for the costumes sale: Before, all of them cost 108$ and now it is 79$. So yeah, still very expensive.

Oh god, spd with Godzilla shriek would just be chefs kiss

Aside from being an okay open world RPG type thing, I think the World Tour was also a fantastic long-term tutorial for people like me who were new to fighting games. Not only does it do a good job of teaching you the basics and how to keep your combat style varied, the interactions with various Masters also teach various important lessons like "Don't get too upset over defeats" and "Sometimes it's fun to just enjoy the match regardless of the outcome".

Aki number 1 is incredible What a turn around from FANG

SF VI is the most I've even gotten into a fighting game seriously and I still REALLY like it, but I desperately need the content output to improve. I'm hoping that the content drought over year 1 was so that they could get their content pipeline figured out for the following years

It brings me SO MUCH JOY to see how many people are using modern controls. For all the strays it catches on Twitter, it’s an incredible accessibility option and myself (and many other players) wouldn’t have found the game without it!

AKI's fav. item (the super 250 or so points one notwithstanding) is actually a Chinese fan, a unique drop from a character you need to fight against in her WT stage. the prepaid card is a generic gift everyone will accept for so-so points

Also, we new a World Tour Mode where we embark on quests as Ryu, Ken, Luke, etc. I would also like to see some avatar customizations our mains. Capcom seriously needs do more for the actual characters this time around. They invested their focus on the avatars season 1, and it shows. Time to turn things around.

Let me just say this as far with having dlc characters in the game they pretty much announced this with having each of the characters line up for different seasons - Rashid(summer 2023), AKI(autumn 2023), Ed(winter 2024) & Akuma(spring 2024). Add with the addition of new stages for the 2 (Ed & Akuma) and all the other stuff for them music themes, arcade mode illustrations & World tour, etc. Now I'm sure when season 2 begins hopefully there'll be more dlc characters at that time assuming 5 or 6 but get your hopes up if that even with more characters the spread of them releasing won't be just the same. And as for the outfits for the characters themselves I feel they heading towards giving each individual character outfits that mostly represent them as to just given random outfits for them that initially give them like they're the avatar characters. What I mean is for example giving Ken a DMC Dante skin like they did in SFV.

I just missed the communication from the developers present near the end of SFV. You got all these detailed character breakdowns and stuff like that the way Mortal Kombat does it. Now all you get is a gameplay trailer. Also, though I know this one has the slimmest chance of happening, but I wish they would take into consideration how little we actually care about the avatars. Again I’m sure they have their audience and I’m not mad about them being there, but I will say that the time and money they spent making a $20 astronaut costume for what is basically just a method of getting from point A to point B could be spent on extra costumes for the characters that people actually know street fighter for.

That's not how game development works.

And of course we can't have one additional completely different boxer when we already have one single member of this very obscure martial art most people never heard about,...I hope that was sarcastic enough to reach everyone.

One thing about these polls, a lot of the time the top answer wins by default because a fair amount of players mash Confirm to just get to playing in the Battle Hub. I'm sure Aki is still fairly popular because she's a great character (I love her myself) but not many of the Hub polls have been won by an option that wasn't on top.

These stats are interesting and some of them are just really fun. I love it. Communities really contribute to the success of this game too. Event like CR cup is really effective in Japan.

Not surprised by spinning bird kick being most popular move. It is charge one so it doesn't need to fight for its spot with other moves too much. And you get it super early and for long time in a game it doesn't have any competition really, since first masters all have qc and dp motions only. And it lets you go through gaps, so nice to have it on you even if you dont use it in battle.

I feel like the deceased character & costume rollout is due to the higher fidelity of both. The fact that they do different states of folding expressions for everyone’s clothes speaks volumes to the work that goes into even one costume, let alone a character.

Something nobody noticed about the poll; the poll's inclusion of characters already IN SF6 indicates they ain't just testing the waters for future seasons of SF6; they're also testing the waters for SF picks in the base roster for a new Vs.

I thought they would flood the game with cosmetic items, maybe not entirely new costumes, but at least small items (e.g. a different headband for Ryu; another pair of glasses for Dee Jay) which gives the characters different win poses, or perfect parry poses, or entrances, maybe shared entrances between some characters, etc. More interesting titles to somewhat recall the past games.
