If we close our eyes and pretend, rule-breaking seems the same thing as freedom.ĭecades later, when I had already been voting for many years, I heard of marvelous bumper stickers seen around Louisiana which summoned up again the image of the jolly rogue who somehow is still popular and even moral within the terms of the actual choices this messy and unredeemed world places before us.
Ask Job - no matter how moral we know we should be, we know the world is risky, scary, and exciting all at once. Rules are very often not followed and as a result, some people have a giddy ride to the top and others suffer unjustly. Good children’s stories and classic fairy tales give a glimpse of a world that is much scarier and also much more exhilarating than the carefully controlled world parents try to provide their kids.
#STREET FIGHTER 6 LORE SERIES#
Not to mention it harkens back to the days of Street Fighter 3, which is appropriate since Street Fighter 6 canonically takes place after that game, making it the most recent entry in the series timeline.Why do these rogues fascinate? For one, kids are fascinated by the messiness of the real world.
The in-your-face attitude of the presentation and music is more energising than annoying. The hip hop theme could’ve risked coming across as too try-hard, but Street Fighter 6 owns it well. Sure, the characters are more realistic looking, but they haven’t strayed too far from the series’ anime inspired roots, with matches literally bursting with colour when certain moves land, complimenting the graffiti art influences. The game even boasts detailed customisation options for visually impaired players so they can play more easily.Īll this is wrapped up in some impressive visual flair and presentation. Now it’s possible to pull off those flashy special moves with just a directional input and a button press. Its tutorials are already above and beyond Street Fighter 5’s, by being more in-depth, but the game also offers an alternative and simplified control scheme akin to Super Smash Bros. If anything, Street Fighter 6 is set to be the most accessible entry in the series. However, Street Fighter 6 isn’t so wrapped up with appealing to diehard fans and competitive players that it neglects would-be newcomers. It’s far more of a social environment than just a selection of static menus. This even extends to the online battle hub mode, which features an incredibly campy host in the form of Eternity (a no doubt deliberate reference to Chris Tucker’s character in The Fifth Element) and goofy alternate match types called extreme battles, like one where you and your opponent need to avoid being run over by a stampeding bull.Īside from the game boasting mostly solid netcode (meaning laggy matches should be the minority and not the norm), the battle hub serves as an open space for players to interact in and show off their custom character. As your own custom character (be they a self-insert OC or a hideous abomination birthed from your nightmares), you’ll get to explore open environments and be trained by Street Fighter icons like Ryu and Chun-Li.Ī lot of the finer details are currently a mystery, but what we’ve seen from trailers is far more engaging than any of Street Fighter 5’s single-player offerings, promising a more jovial tone compared to the rather po-faced A Shadow Falls story mode, as well as interesting deviations from the traditional one-on-one matches. Though not the first entry to feature a dedicated story mode, Street Fighter 6’s World Tour Mode is already vastly more interesting than the usual arcade routes that reward you with maybe one cut scene or some pretty artwork. Its base roster is only marginally larger than Street Fighter 5’s (18 characters compared to 16), but there’ll be much more to do than just play a basic training mode and online matches. Capcom has clearly learnt from the mistakes of Street Fighter 5.
