Poll: Are You Playing Street Fighter 6?

I have dabbled but not big into fighting games in general. In fact I’m terrible at them, and the few times I tried to play online I get slaughtered in seconds. I might get SF6 at some point simply to play the World Tour mode, since it sounds fun, but not at this time. Maybe on a deep sale.

@Tharsman Same, not really a fighting game enthusiast. I actually think it's a fairly niche genre (poll data above suggest this as well). Happy for those that love them though.

I'd get it if I wasn't so invested in Guilty Gear, which I simply enjoy more. I'll probably still get it down the line, game looks good.

@Tharsman the modern control option (think Smash Bros) in SF6 are a dream for newcomers or people who claim to be terrible at them. Capcom did an incredible job balancing a game for hardcore fans while making the most accessible fighter yet. Might be worth a look!

Still at work with it sat next to me. I will get a few rounds in tonight and see if i can get my head round these new counter moves or whatever they are.

No. Level 25 in Diablo 4 tho.

@EvenStephen7 I also suck at Smash, do have quite more time on that one but mostly because I tend to put it on TV as a social game during some social gatherings. Even then almost all my winds end up being attributed to random items.

Absolutely I'm playing it! It's far and away my most anticipated game of the year and while I haven't had a chance to play too much yet I already love what I've played so far.

Street Fighter has always been a big part of my life ever since I first picked up a controller as a kid so I'm so excited to see it back again in top form!

@KundaliniRising333 personally don’t think it’s a niche, almost every gamer I know is into fighting games. They are just a different audience that tend to be more into competitive gaming. The audience for these sites tend to be a lot more biased towards single player experiences.

Same as others, fighting games aren't for me. The only one I've actually enjoyed was the last Mortal Kombat.

The latest SF I played was vanilla SF4 way back when. It was fun, but I kept going back to Third Strike which I found to be much more fun. Or to other fighters around that time, such as the original Blazblue or Guilty Gear XX.

But fighting games are in the past for me now, so at most I'll watch some matches, but nothing more.

Of the big 3 (Tekken, MK and SF) this franchise is definitely my least favourite, but I'm having fun with this new entry, in particular because of the modern control scheme

From what I can remember last time I played Streetfighter was with my brother on the Megadrive.Great days!

I couldnt care less. But just enough to post that i couldnt care less.

I kinda wanna play SF6 but it has been years since I last played a fighting game and I don't really enjoy playing it on a gamepad.

Well, Street Fighter 5 was the only fighter that made me play online and I didn't even suck as much as I expected to. I'll be getting SF6, but a little later with more characters included at a reduced price. I am glad it turned out to be a great game.

Ugh, I’m waiting for my copy to come in. It’s basically torture. 😑

My copy already arrived yesterday but I sadly hadn't time to play. Will start it later today

I loved SF2 and its variants in the early to mid 90s but can't get into the sequels for some reason. Also, similar to racing games, I've generally lost interest in fighting games, perhaps because there are simply so many releases in other genres nowadays that I seem to prefer. Maybe I'll get SF6 on a heavy sale in the future, just for kicks.

Still not sure if i want it or wait for MK1. I am too busy with Diablo 4 at the moment but this is a game i want to keep an eye on. It looks really fun.

Street Fighter is my favorite fighting game series. 2. is SNK's King of Fighters series which I've just had my first experience with this week.

But I'm not getting SF6 even though I have a PS4. I prefer to play on handhelds these days and I'm relatively new to the Fighting Game genre as a whole (and not completely sold on the genre yet)

I might get a complete edition for Switch 2 on a sale (if that became a reality), but as of now I have more than enough Fighting Games to delve into.

Yes! At this moment, no...

SF vet here, although I'm still rubbish.
I've played 'em all since the very 1st one (which was awful).
Got this latest one and it is so much fun.
Highly Recommended.

I will definitely be playing it soon, love all the Street Fighter games!!

The real question is: are you sleeping? Are you having meals on a regular basis?

For NEWCOMERS and people on the verge because of their skill: it’s never been so accessible, use modern controls and have a blast! Use character guides if you want to get better (but you don’t have to!). There are special servers for newcomers (they have a little chick icon next to them) where people who moved out of the first few leagues of ranked matches are not allowed anymore and you can relax!

Waiting to get out of work and pick up my copy.

I've been into Street Fighter since playing 2 in the arcades when I was 9, 10, I don't know. FG in general have been a big part of my life and how I made most of my friends in college.

There's nothing like them!

I had no plans on buying it. Bought it cuz of the reviews and I've been playing all day. Such. A. Great. Game.

The last street fighter I owned was 2 on the mega drive! Over the years I've played way more tekken (particularly 2,3 and tag) but the tutorials, options for modern controls and the button masher controls for my daughter and world tour mode convinced me to take the plunge. Now I just have to stop playing zelda to try it!

Tekken is the only fighting game series I play somewhat competitively. It just feels more natural to play, the diagonal inputs of other fighting games are just too difficult to execute for me.

I know it wouldn't make sense for them to do it... but I really wish there would be another pixel art street fighter game. The most recent versions have just had mostly generic art direction.

liked it a lot on SNES and arcades in the 90s because of the novelty. I fool in fighting games now and then, but its not a genre that im really fond of.

Will be playing Street Fighter 6 over the weekend, I love Street Fighter. I used to play against my friends winner stays on passing the joypad around, brilliant time's before online domainated and couch co-op ruled.

I really only enjoyed Tekken and Tekken 2 in the beat em up genre.

I like Street Figher (except SFV, not because game, but because of loadings) but more I liked Body Blows.

The last fighting game I played was Soulblade on PS1.

Of course, it's all about Street Fighter 6 for me til Final Fantasy XVI arrives which is GUARANTEED to be another hit this year. So at that point im going to put Street Fighter 6 aside for weeks til I finish Final Fantasy XVI. It's not like Street Fighter 6 is going anywhere since the game will be fully supported by Capcom til like 2028 lol.

The best fighter I played so far is Injustice 2 cool story, arcade mode, fun unlocks, minimal microtransactions.

What I've always loved about SF games is the depth.
You'll only get so far with button bashing unlike the early MK games.
Different class imho.

I'm more of a Tekken guy so not sure I'll pick up this. Maybe on sale in a year or 2.

I was big into fighting games in the 90's and Street Fighter 2 was the first arcade game I ever played. I've not played so much in the last 15 years or so but this year I wanted to jump back in and Street Fighter 6 is great so far with a lot to do, even my little boy seems to like it playing as Blanka

Street Fighter is still my favorite fighting game series despite Capcom stubbing its toe with SF 5. However, they got it right with 6 and I decided to double dip on both PS5 and Xbox Series X. This game will be all that I'm playing on my day off on Saturday.

I've been going to fighting game tournaments for over a decade now so I'm pretty happy with the game

Used to be into fighting games when I was a kid, and played most of them that came out on whatever platform I was playing on. Not so much these days, the last couple I played I just couldn't get into them and ditched them after only a few hours.

Not yet and probably not for a while, I want to see what post launch supoort really looks like and then I might wait for a complete version in a years time.

I pre-ordered it an do love it so far.
The only thing I don't love is the micro transactions crap in this game.

@KundaliniRising333 A poll based off the worst platform to play fighting games? That's nothing to base that on.

I'm enjoying it a lot. So far it seems to be a banger for both hardcore and casual audiences.

@KundaliniRising333 The data doesnt really suggest that though.

Nah, I'm still enjoying Ultra Street Fighter 4 on the PS3. Mhhhhhmm next challenger please!

Not yet, but I will. I'm not into fighting games anywhere near enough to justify paying full price! I'll wait for the second price drop around Christmas time - looking forward to it though!

@KundaliniRising333 niche genre? Granted they're arguably not as big a part of gaming as they were in the early to mid 90's when they were amongst the dominant genres, Street Fighter 2 being one of the highest grossing games ever with over $10 billion.

Still, the recent Tekken and Mortal Kombat games have both sold over 10 million copies and Smash Bros is around 30 million and I'd put good money on SF6, Tekken 8 and MK1 all being big sellers too

Had a few rounds last night. Went through the arcade mode with Ryu and Cammy then dabbled in some combo training. Games really solid but i just feel theres too many mechanics for me to get my head around to become anything more than mediocre.

Pre-ordered it, but I’m away for a few days, so can’t play until Monday evening. Looking forward to creating the biggest monstrosity possible.

Nope, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max for me on the PSTV this weekend only.
