Street Fighter 6: The Kotaku Review
30.5.2023
To say Capcom fumbled Street Fighter V is an understatement. SF5 launched in an incomplete state, going all-in on “esports” to the point that it shipped without even basic single-player modes, and the flat, offense-heavy combat came off so canned, so rote, that it almost felt turn-based. (Also,...

Do Yourself A Favor And Listen To Ryu’s New Street Fighter 6 Theme
16.6.2022
Music has always been a huge part of the Street Fighter series.

22.2.2022
Apart from the game’s crappy, minimalistic logo, some of the most consistent chatter surrounding the recent Street Fighter 6 reveal has to do with series protagonist Ryu. He’s wide, folks, sporting sandals and that much-beloved “Hot Ryu” facial hair, but what seems to have folks most intrigued...
