Capcom's output in recent years has been outstanding. From the reimagining of the iconic blockbuster Resident Evil 4 Remake to the enormous commercial success of Monster Hunter World, this Japanese publisher has successfully managed to reinvent its most beloved IP. Considering their sizzling hot streak, it was no surprise that fans were ecstatic about last year's reveal of Street Fighter 6.
My journey with the storied fighting franchise began way back on Super Nintendo with Street Fighter 2. Regarding 2D fighters, nothing could match that masterclass entry's style, intensity, and undeniable flair. While I've remained a staunch fan for decades, my hopes and misplaced competitive aspirations have waned significantly. I worried that even if Street Fighter 6 managed to be the best entry to date, it wouldn't be enough to rekindle that ardent early magic. Boy, was I wrong.
