We hand out whistles in "Street Fighter 6"

Translation: machine translated
My colleague Domagoj Belancic and I put on our boxing gloves and fight our way through the latest instalment of the street brawler series. We start our Let's Play at 14:00.
Ryu, Guile and Chun-Li are back at it again, ready to give each other a good thrashing. "Street Fighter 6" offers some interesting new approaches. These include the two game modes World Tour and Battle Hub. In World Tour, you play a campaign in which you can move freely in open areas, challenge computer opponents and improve your character. The game has never been so true to its name.
Battle Hub is also an innovative idea. It is a kind of arena or arcade. Players meet there to compete against each other on slot machines. One flaw is that you can't watch battles live on the slot machines. Whether you want to watch or play - the actual match has to be loaded first.
Friendly for beginners
The two new control modes are likely to divide opinion. In addition to the "Classic" control mode, in which you execute special attacks with key combinations as usual, the "Modern" control mode only requires a single key press. What might be tantamount to cheating for old hands is a welcome addition for button mashers like me. There is also the "Dynamic" style, which selects the appropriate attack thanks to AI support. You have even fewer buttons to memorise here.
Domagoj Belancic and I definitely belong to the casual faction in "Street Fighter". In our Let's Play, we give you a casual overview of the different game modes, controls and new characters. So don't expect a professional analysis of the new mechanics in our Let's Play.
"Street Fighter 6" is available for PC, PS5, Xbox Series and was provided to us by Capcom.

Philipp.Rueegg@digitecgalaxus.chBeing the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
