Demo Thoughts
At the Capcom Showcase last week, the developers showed off the single-player campaign of Street Fighter 6 and some of what fans could look forward to when the game releases in June. Personally, I have been on the fence about picking up this game. I bought Street Fighter 5 on day one, which was a big mistake. By now I think most gamers realize that when it comes to the Street Fighter series Capcom will always release an Ultra...Championship Edition at some point. It has happened way too many times in the past. Although 5 is a pretty fun game now that first year and a half was pretty brutal, to say the least. However, the demo for 6 actually had me hyped a little. They made the game easy to pick up for the casual crowd, like myself, and still fun for the competitive scene.
The game uses the RE Engine and if you have played a game like Monster Hunter you can see why they used it especially when it comes to the create a character settings. As a matter of fact, with the exception of a few tweaks you could say that, that part was copied straight from Monster Hunter Rise. That being said there are a lot of customization options for your character. Now the demo itself as far as the single-player goes only takes you through the tutorial portion of the single-player mode. I will say that it is enough to give you a good idea of what is to come in that mode. I do like how they are using the Final Fight series in this mode with the introduction of the Made Gear gang. We couldn't get online but you were allowed to play with either Ryu or Luke in what amounts to a regular match. I found it fun and challenging especially as the character that you were playing against level is raised. The timing is a little different from 5 but it's not hard to get done after a few rounds.
Overall
I had fun with the demo. I won't be buying this day one as there are just to many games out now and my backlog needs to be trimmed down a bit. With Tears of the Kingdom releasing in a couple of weeks I will be way too busy with that to really be concerned with another game. Check out my gameplay video from this weekend and let me know what you think. The Xbox demo is supposed to be out sometime this week (04-24-2023). I will probably download it there just to see how it feels. Let me know what you think. Did you try out the demo? What do you think? Leave a comment and let's talk about it. As always thanks for your support.
