If you want to get an early look into it, you can try the Street Fighter 6 demo. It’s not online and you can only choose Ryu and Jake. I like the way it feels and look forward to the open beta!

Maybe I’ll check it out, was not a fan of SF5, it felt way slow compared to SF4. And I enjoyed SF4 quite a bit.

Hahaha, well played.

Ohhh, I’m enjoying this! It plays so well and the netcode is very good. Had some games against someone from Poland and it felt okay. A bit sticky, but there’s a lot to be excited about here!

I was at the event, and the atmosphere for this fight was unreal! Even if you don’t play FGs, try and give this a watch. It was special.
