Storyline

World Tour is set several years after the events of Street Fighter III and follows an original player-created avatar character, framed as a martial artist seeking to become stronger. The player begins training under Luke in Metro City, where they meet and bond with a fellow student, Bosch Waraya. While the player begins training for an upcoming fighting tournament under several different masters, they learn that Bosch is on the run from the Mad Gear gang for stealing money from them. The player catches up with Bosch, only for him to be abducted by Juri after giving a memory drive to the player. Working with Chun-Li's student Li-Fen, the player learns from the drive that Bosch stole the money for a resistance group fighting against Amnesia, a terrorist organization influencing Nayshall's government. While following clues sent to them by a member of the resistance, the player has repeated encounters with an unknown fighter who wears a cardboard box and wields Psycho Power. Upon learning from the resistance of the Suval'hal martial arts tournament in Nayshall, the player qualifies to participate as Metro City's representative. During the tournament, the player again encounters the box-wearing fighter and knocks the box from his head, revealing him to be Bosch. Bosch explains that Amnesia was formed by former Shadaloo agents and has been using the tournament to launder money for terrorist activities; Bosch willingly allowed himself to be experimented on after his kidnapping, hoping Psycho Power would make him strong enough to assassinate Amnesia's leader, JP. Losing control of his mind and body, Bosch escapes, and resistance leader Kalima decides to eliminate both Bosch and JP using a bomb implanted in the championship belt. The player objects and attempts to disarm the bomb during the night, but is caught by JP, who orders them to leave. The next day, the player makes it to the tournament finals, where they fight against Bosch. Regardless of the outcome, JP, aware of the sabotage, activates the bomb trigger and has Bosch's sister Yua present the belt to the victor instead. To save her, Bosch snatches the belt moments before it explodes, killing him. The player…

Gameplay

Street Fighter 6 features similar 2D fighting gameplay to the previous games in the series, in which two fighters use a variety of attacks and special abilities to knock out their opponent. The main new gameplay addition of Street Fighter 6 is the Drive Gauge, a system designed to encourage player creativity. The gauge can be used for five different techniques, requiring players to choose which to prioritize. Most of the Drive Gauge's mechanics are based on previously existing mechanics from previous Street Fighter games, such as parries, focus attacks, and EX moves. Fully expending a character's Drive gauge makes them enter "Burnout" state, where the gauge slowly refills but cannot be used. While in this Burnout state, the character's blocking degrades, and they become susceptible to "chip damage" (taking a small amount of damage when blocking attacks) and can become stunned when hit by Drive Impact close to a corner. The game features three control types: the "classic" control scheme, which is a six-button layout that functions similarly to previous games in the series; the "modern" control scheme, which is a simplified four-button layout that assigns special moves to a single button combined with a directional input; and the offline-only "dynamic" control scheme, in which the player need only press a single button for the game's AI to select an appropriate attack for that button press. The use of multiple super combos returns from the Street Fighter Alpha sub-series, also counting the Ultra Combo W variant from Ultra Street Fighter IV. However, each characters' super combo arts are based on three respective level gauges. For example, Ryu's Shinku Hadoken, Shin Hashogeki and Shin Shoryuken can only be used at Level 1, 2 and 3 respectively. When a player is low on health, their Level 3 super move becomes a Critical Art, which is more powerful in addition to having an expanded cinematic scene. Certain movesets can only be cancelled to super moves based on how many levels the player has filled, such as EX/Overdrive special moves, which can only be cancelled to higher levels above Level 1, while regular special moves without sacrificing the Drive gauge can only…
