STREET FIGHTER 6 Review (PS5) - So Much Game!! - Electric Playground

[@TroysSweetCornhole]

I didnt even think Vic and EPN was still around Totally takes me back to age 18

[@EPN]

I love what I do and I’m happy there are platforms and viewers that let me continue to do it! Thanks for watching. Hope you sub and check out what we’ve been up to here-I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how many cool vids we’ve put up, classic stuff and brand new interviews, features, reviews and more…

Holy crap I didn't know that Electric Playground was still around. I remember watching for all my gaming news and reviews. I'm glad to see you back, Victor. Liked and subscribed.

[@Xeo7]

I don't personally care at all about Tears of the Kingdom. Didn't love BotW, and also not a fan of the building stuff in it. But THIS, this the game I've been waiting years for. As a long time Street Fighter fan, this is the game that I had hoped 5 would be. I know 5 got a lot better eventually, I still played it then too. But THIS is what it should have been. This is more like when SF4 dropped and left it's mark on the FGC.

[@EPN]

Enjoy SF6!!

[@Xeo7]

@@EPN I most certainly will! Re-reading that comment, I made it while tired. I realize now that it comes off a bit negative towards Zelda. Not what I intended really. I'm happy that game delivered so well for so many people, even if it isn't for me personally.

11:20 thats the worst reason to not give a game a 10. "well, i just gave this other game in a completely different & unrelated genre a 10 so I can't give this game a 10." are you gonna say that about Diablo 4 also? if its a 10 its a 10. call a spade a spade.

[@ryanhie2829]

How am I just now finding out that Electric Playground lives on? I though Victor had switched to critiquing automobiles. Would love to see Tommy again as well.

[@michaelharrington5860]

Still to come: Dragon's Dogma 2, Exoprimal, and Pragmata. Really hope Capcom makes another Mega Man game after that. Capcom has gotta have the most consistently excellent output of any publisher/dev at this point. Since Monster Hunter World, they just can't miss. Such a great time to be a fan of games in general. This year is basically a video game renaissance. HiFi Rush, Dead Space Remake, Metroid Prime Remastered, Hogwarts Legacy, Like a Dragon Ishin, Octopath Traveler 2, Wo Long, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Advanced Wars 1 + 2, Jedi Survivor, Tears of the Kingdom, Diablo 4, Street Fighter 6, FFXVI, Starfield, Lords of the Fallen, Alan Wake 2, Armored Core 6, Sea of Stars, Baldurs Gate 3, Mortal Kombat 1, Blasphemous 2, Metal Slug Tacitics, Hyper Light Breaker, Pikmin 4, and potentially even more that haven't been revealed. Is this the most stacked year ever?

[@joeyparkhill8751]

at this point with 2023 being so stacked with great games & landmark Games remade like RE4, I wouldn't be surprised if we get an announcement for a remake of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 sooner than later...

[@mbrochh82]

It really is an absolutely amazing year, but except for Hogwarts, that list has an astounding lack of new IPs.

[@2Dman533]

Capcom been killing it the last couple of years. In the early-2010's they were going down the same road as Konami. They've REALLY turned it around.

[@darkdragon88]

Victor and EP brings back good memories. Great and comprehensive review of my favourite franchise. I really hope this game helps push more and more people to play.

[@MaxwellsUnearthly]

As someone that grew up with the OG Street fighter 2 in the arcades, This new game is something special, can't wait!!

[@kadosho02]

Speaking of the classics, they are all playable too. Plus other arcade games are said to be featured in the game rotation.

[@MaxwellsUnearthly]

@@kadosho02 That's wild, especially because this is all in one game, which I find as a crazy good value if you do love the retro games, which obviously I do!

Great review Vic! I guess this unofficially gets a 10/10, I'd like to pick it up since i enjoyed the demo quite a bit ; but I also think i might wait around for Akuma to come along from the DLC first

[@EPN]

It’s stunning. This may be the strongest release month in gaming history!

[@Rath9999]

@@EPN I'm beyond excited for Final Fantasy XVI, looking forward to your thoughts on that, keep doing what you're doing, you're the best in the biz, Vic!

[@dorkasaurus_rex]

Probably the best "casual" review I've seen. You seem to really "get" what they were going for here and actually enjoyed it a lot. Crazy how Street Fighter's future never looked brighter

[@StarLad9]

Nice job recreating yourself in the game! That must've been hilarious to experience for the first time

[@SpiderManMode]

Great review. Thank you!

[@EPN]

Ah thank you! Hope you dig the game as much as me!

[@jaredfoss5668]

Street Fighter 6 looks a lot better than Street Fighter 5. I've never played 5 because of the lack of content available at launch and the ridiculous amount of DLC that you have to get in order to play the "entire" game. Street Fighter 6 looks like it has plenty of content available at launch. I might actually get this game. It looks awesome.

[@samuraigundam0079]

Remember when fighting games used to be a fun jaunt that required some strategy, but weren’t burdened with little systems you had to learn in order to succeed?

[@TheKillermike83]

Go play Pacman

@@TheKillermike83 ...spare me...

[@kadosho02]

You are not wrong, it has become super technical with flow, feel, movement, and mastery On the plus side, you have options on how you want to play. SF and other fighters have changed drastically from the past. I am not into the pro scene, but that's where all of the technical, and focus is banked on I just play for fun

[@sirshartsalot]

When did electric playground have it's highest ratings??? Just wondering because that show raised me on video game news in Montréal in the early 2000s

[@AshflowEX]

Damn IM EXCITED for this Game ❤❤❤❤

It’s wonderful. :)

[@MaxGo777]

Thanks for the detailed review. I've ordered SF6 for my PS5 and Steam (for the Deck). As a massive Street Fighter fan since 1988, I cannot wait until Friday! I am curious, are any of the Capcom VS SNK games available to play in the in-game arcade?

[@TheKillermike83]

There's never been a better time to get into Street Fighter.

[@michaelharrington5860]

I haven't picked up a fighting game since Tekken 7. I'll be getting this one though

[@kadosho02]

I would definitely recommend it. Plus you have different gameplay options: classic, modern, and dynamic Classic: LP, MP, HP (low, medium, high punch) LK, MK, HK (low, medium, high kick) Modern: different setup Dynamic: easy access mode Plus like Vic covered, there is a ton to do, whether single player or online

[@EPN]

The game is precisely engineered to bring back lapsed SF fans and brand new players. You can play World Tour mode exclusively for many many hours and you’ll have a blast and learn everything you need for Fighting Ground and Battle Hub. It’s an excellent game.

[@chuck176]

@@EPN thanks Vic!!!!!

[@shaideyfresh1]

Great review!!! ... how much are you a fighting game gamer?

[@nrXic]

I still feel ripped off from SF5, paying $50 (at 50% off!) for 8 characters with access to 4 more that had to be unlocked (paid or thru in-game currency). Despite SF6 looking good, I'm going to wait until this hits $40 or so before jumping in, that's how bad of a taste the previous game left.

[@kingj521]

Always been one of my favorite game reviewers!

[@JL-vv2uc]

does every character have a ending when you play thru the arcade mode?

[@EPN]

Yep the cutscenes are stills though. Beautiful art throughout. Lots of unlockables. Addictive (in a good way) in every sense of the word. They killed it!

[@TP-qo5yx]

You rock, Vic!

[@jynxce]

Great review! This is what I expected of a $70+ game. Not the arbitrary "it's on my new fandangled gaming console, so pay up" prices they're running with currently. I will say that Zelda doesn't own the 10 score category. Shame games have to be relegated to some lesser rating because of internal bias and not their own merits. Not a good look.

[@IRWPD]

The world tour mode do look really fun.

[@StudioHorizonsArt]

How to unlock Guile's classic custumes?

[@DonYoGi8331]

All classic costumes can be unlocked in World Tour mode or bought with fight coins.

[@Partinaire]

Ive missed this show! Hearing Vic took me straight back to 2003. Meanwhile Street Fighter 6 is gonna be so much fun and for a long time too. This game gives me Street Fighter Alpha 3 (home port) and Street Fighter III vibes from what ive been able to play of the game so far.

[@eleven7104]

I’ll wait for the ultra super hadouken edition

[@AshflowEX]

Sorry but Itsuno era is over this is a new SF Dev team 👌

[@jasonmyers8278]

Yeah this is the only version that will be released. Noway it will get re-released over the next few years.

[@kadosho02]

Like the others said, this is it. There will be no Arcade, or Champion Edition. This is the only version of the game you need

[@javonjames4573]

That's all I need to know

[@philliplamb-jh7bf]

3 more day's fellas 😤

[@davidwong6069]

I found modern controls made the game so simple it became boring. Becomes more of a button mash party game when the alt options are being used, good for kids though. Classic is the way to go imo, they really should ban the other controls from ranked or figure out a way to nerf the instant specials they have, kinda bs that people on classic are gonna have a natural delay from doing the full movement while everyone on the modern controls can one button DP.

[@seth5472]

Yeah but from what I heard dynamic controls are banned and can only be used offline So the people using modern controls don't do as much damage as people using classic controls I still think it'll even itself out

[@gattman]

Great review, Victor. And it’s ok to give SF6 a 10 if it earned it. 😂

never giving capcom money for a SF game ever again, after getting SFV at launch

TOTK is not a 10 imo. Played it for 20 hrs and I wasn't engaged with its Minecraft gameplay. SF6 and FF16 are my type of game's high action and depth to combat.

[@kaikiske7436]

Ya idk. I’ll wait and see. Happy with Strive and some other fighters for now. Of the new characters, only Kimberly is appealing. A couple of the others are downright bizarre. The mode with the retro Capcom cabinets seems cool, I guess. Would’ve totally preferred Alpha 4 with sprite graphics, but I guess that’s never happening. The RPG mode doesn’t look like something I’d play for more than a few mins. PLAY FOREVER!

[@EPN]

Try the demo! This is an amazing game.

[@kaikiske7436]

@@EPN Hi Vick! Just wanted to thank you again for the amazing review! I initially wasn't going to buy SF6 right away (5's sloooow start, generally bad economic outlook, etc), but I went ahead and decided to jump in. I'm having a great time! Kimberly is 🔥 🔥 and easily one of the best new fighting game series additions in a LONG time! I haven't messed with the other new characters yet tbh, just Kimber, Ryu, Ken, & Chun Li, but it's a blast. The online mode works great too. Hopefully CAPCOM has a hit with this one. My only real gripe is that the roster is a little small for a modern fighter, we should have at least 2x as many characters. Anyway, thank you for the review, PLAY FOREVER
