Couldn't find a thread. Releases friday and 9.2 on Metacritic. Time for the caf to cave each other's heads in.

Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Might dabble, but simply don't have the time nor patience I used to have for trying to master these anymore
Street Fighter 6 is as good a Street Fighter game as I could hope for. I've already put about 50 hours into it, and I can see it lasting me years. With the story done and dusted I am now free to grind in ranked, sweating through match after match after match until... damn, where did the time go? This is a Street Fighter with more than a modern control scheme - it is a modern take on the genre. It is welcoming, accessible and progressive. It is social, silly and spectacular. And it is very special indeed.
Fighting games used to be among the very easiest games to get the hang of, albeit still taking a while to truly master.
But nowadays it seems you have to devote hours and hours of gameplay simply to understand the basic game mechanics, which are multiplying with each iteration. So now you just have the options of basically random button mashing, or taking a three year online course to understand the latest Street Fighter game.
This time it has a huge single player part and very comprehensive and fun training stuff though.
Obviously they won't make you pro, but who cares.
So good to see this getting stellar reviews. One of the most iconic series in gaming.
I really wish I was good at fighting games. You just need to put so much time and effort in to get good at them. I've been watching reviews and gameplay footage, and it looks awesome. It actually makes me wanna buy it. Then I remember I absolutely suck at them!
Btw how good are Capcom these days?

I’m tempted.
I’ve been watching a lot of the MK tournaments lately and got the urge to pick up a fighting game.
Is this crossplay? As I’d be on the PC

After a certain age I just can't find pleasure playing fighting games, 1-2 hours max is the most I'd go with this types of games.
I bought Injustice 2 and barely spent 15 minutes playing it. So I'll probably just see the gameplay from Youtube and that's that.
I'm a solo player, it might be fun if you have mates to play with.

I competed in tournies for 2,3 and some of 4, and yes they definitely took a lot to master even without the endless combos and specials you get these days. I must say I did prefer the old school of making your own combos from nothing though, but they couldn't keep it that way.
I'm glad to see this one smashing the reviews, from the moment I first played 1 in an old arcade to paying £125 for an import of 2turbo on Snes and the various versions since, I've loved SF.
I play my 8 year old daughter at SF5, so we are looking forward to 6. She’s just started beating me on a semi regular basis, making me feel incredibly old in the process.
That's basically every game these days.
It has a 20 hour Yakuza like story mode for single player.
Though if you don't really like fighting games, I imagine it's not very interesting.
Excellent then. For a long time I’ve felt that Yakuza is the formula fighting games need to go in focusing on for solo gamers.
I'm really sad. I only have switch but my bread and butter was Street Fighter and Tekken.
No way, me too! I learned the frame data and smashed everyone in my town then came up against nerds that knew it in depth on international tournaments and that was my peak. Miss those days!
Third Strike was my favourite Street Fighter game!
Playing Street fighter 2 in the local Arcade are some of my best childhood memories. I'm not as good as I used to be either. No time to study the frame data and practice enough to consistently land everything.
Yeah, locals compared to nationals was a leap and a half. I did once finish 3rd at the Trocadero, the only non-Japanese player anywhere near the top 10
Those were definitely the days. I used to love holding court in my local sweet shop and letting people pick my character and betting for Mars bars.
Of course loads would pick Zangief. Huge mistake
My now 5 year old loves street fighter 5. We’re both really excited for 6.
That game is PG 12 you maniac. I have reported you to the authorities.
I had my 3 year old play Zelda, but he is infuriatingly bad at it, so I turned it off.
Haha yeh I figured I was playing SF2 at that age and I turned out okayish.
