In recent Street Fighter events, Capcom reps told us to get hyped about the upcoming Capcom Cup, that recently has replaced with the CPT Season Final, because they were going to reveal more about the future of Street Fighter. The CPT Season Final starts next week, February 17th.

As you may know, the last Street Fighter V character was Luke, who Capcom said will have an important role in the next Street Fighter. Looking at his gameplay trailer, his birthday is February 17th as seen on his gameplay trailer.

As you may know, in a leaked Capcom roadmap document Street Fighter 6 appeared as a crossgen multiplatform game scheduled for the last quarter of this year, but considering that the document was from before the covid lockdowns, the game probably has been delayed to 2023, as happened with Pragmata. So it would make sense tto announce it in this February event.

February is a special month for the history of Street Fightter because many Street Fighter games have been released this month, like Street Fighter II The World Warrior, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Street Fighter Alpha 2, Street Fighter III, Streett Fighter IV, Street Fighter V or Sttreet Fighter V Champion Edition.

And today I noticed something else looking at the official Japanese Street Fighter Twitter account:

Edit: There is a Capcom countdown that ends February 20 at 10:00 p.m. PT, just after the Capcom Pro Tour Season Final (what it would have been after the Capcom Cup finals, where they traditionally placed announcements):

STREET FIGHTER 6 | CAPCOM

Info on the latest iteration of the Street Fighter series! #StreetFighter6

www.capcom-games.com

So yes, seems that Street Fighter VI will be announced this week.

Is it possible for Sony to lock down another iteration of this series again?

 

[yurinka]

Is it possible for Sony to lock down another iteration of this series again?

They could do it, but the leaked Capcom internal document listed it as a crossgen multiplatform game. Which means that at least back then Sony didn't lock it down.

And now Capcom is in a great finantial shape, unlike when they greenlighted SFV (they needed money so got moneyhats from Sony, MS and Nintendo back then, and Sony got Street Fighter).

If it does happen, then:

 

[kingfey]

I am ready


Please dont make the character model ugly this time.

 

[lh032]

With Sony acquisition confirmed.

 

[Hobbygaming]

I am ready


Please dont make the character model ugly this time.

 

[Hobbygaming]

I watch more Street Fighter tournaments than actual sports these days. The matches are always so good. I'm looking forward to playing and watching SF6

 

[Doom85]

Please dont make the character model ugly this time.

(shrugs) I mean, I certainly liked what I saw.

 

[Airbus Jr]

Great news ( if true)

 

[kingfey]

(shrugs) I mean, I certainly liked what I saw.

The animation threw me off. I will check it up again.
I got used to takken 7 art style. When I tried the game for couple matches, I felt something else.

I am redownloading it on steam Now. And see if my eyes were shit, or the problem that I have with it is there.

 

[Javthusiast]

I hope they reveal it. Change up the artstyle while still keeping the waifus hot.

I hope not.

 

[Scotty W]

Can’t wait for next Wednesday!

 

[Elbereth]

Crossgen…

I mean, I understand why, but it’s still disappointing nonetheless.

 

[jshackles]

 

[Celcius]

The first SF with 120hz support?

 

[yurinka]

The first SF with 120hz support?

People already have issues counting frames and the devs hiding the rollback at 60fps.

It isn't good for a fighting game to go higher than 60fps. It also would make the input lag more noticiable while playing online. They should focus on improving the netcode and input lag before that.

 

[TaleB]

 

[yurinka]

The Street Fighter event ends the 20th... the countdown ends the 20th (PT time)... 6 means Street Fighter 6....

 

[paolo11]

Let’s go!!!!!

 

[amigastar]

I hope they show more than just a simple trailer. I want gameplay.
Also a Beta Access for Preorder would be nice.

 

[GreatnessRD]

We await your arrival, Lawd Bipson.

 

[Bankai]

leaked footage of SFVI, it's going to be a F2P P2W mobile experience

 

[Ozriel]

Capcom would have to be criminally stupid not to have a Switch release at the minimum.

 

[Ozriel]

Crossgen…

I mean, I understand why, but it’s still disappointing nonetheless.

Dude, it’s street fighter. Cross-gen wouldn’t detract from the game one bit.

It’s also getting a PC release on day one, to run on a wide variety of devices…including spinning HDDs. They’d have to be daft to make it next gen only.

 

[N0S]

Hope it's 2D

 

[SSfox]

Please just don't be crossgen

 

[SSfox]

I watch more Street Fighter tournaments than actual sports these days. The matches are always so good. I'm looking forward to playing and watching SF6

Even before YouTube and twitch exists, i was more into watching fighting games tournaments than anything else.

 

[pramod]

Hope it plays more like SF4 than SF5.

 

[NeonGhost]

Please just don't be crossgen

What is last gen gonna hold back from a street fighter game ?

[SSfox]

What is last gen gonna hold back from a street fighter game ?

There will always be things that will hold back, just one example, imagine a stage where it has breakable wall, balcony or floor that will sent you instant into another level, this cannot be done with complex stages with HDD, but with SSD it will make more things possible, high level detailed stages transition s can only be done with fast ssd, or let's say a stage with helicopters or harrier, the more they're close to characters, the more characters will have hair and clothes moving, which can't be done with outdated CPU cores , and that's just few examples.

[SSfox]

I'll let this here.

"I think people underestimate the impact that almost non-existent load times will have [the SSD]. They will open doors that were previously considered impossible. I don't think we have even scratched the surface as to what will eventually be accomplished with these systems. For me, an improvement in the graphics is taken for granted. But, this new way of handling memory and load will be huge"

[Saber]

Hope ends up being a thing.

Want a street fighter experience closer to 4. And perhaps they could go back to sprites to match the draw artwork.

 

[Fake]

Hope it plays more like SF4 than SF5.

This.

This makes no sense.
Aside from the fact that stage transitions are a gimmick, You can leave the more detailed stages in the next gen versions and go with simpler ones in the last gen consoles.

Next gen consoles can also have higher detail, more particles, better hair and better cloth physics, even with a last gen version.


And if you do what FIFA did and not allow cross-generation play, load time differences shouldn’t be an issue either.

Horizon forbidden west is a cross gen game that has phenomenally low load times on the PS5 compared to the PS4.

 

[abstract alien]

Hope it plays more like SF4 than SF5.

Going by past iterations, it will probably play like neither. Street Fighter has a record of differentiating itself for each new main title.

He will be able to fully realise his Shang Tsung character, morphing into any available character in milliseconds. Maybe only limited by amount of different inputs you can have to transform!

You're still only seeing loading times, you are not thinking beyond this, sorry but you seem to not get it at all.

They could do it, but the leaked Capcom internal document listed it as a crossgen multiplatform game. Which means that at least back then Sony didn't lock it down.

Did those documents name specific platforms? Multiplatform could just mean a PC release.

Dead or Alive said hi twenty years ago

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Is it possible for Sony to lock down another iteration of this series again?

They could, but I have a very strong feeling that they won’t.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

That would be great if they announced it, but I don’t know honk they will. Maybe end of the year or early next year possibly?

 

[SSfox]

Dead or Alive said hi twenty years ago

Yes but but not with high level details and very different decors.

If you look at PS4 Xbox one gen only Tekken 7 barely touched that idea, but it has to go below 900p on PS5 and to 720p in Xbox one.

SFV touched the idea at the basic level in the hong Kong stage.

There also other things like day night cycles, or real time weather in that we barely see in PS4, Xbox one gen most were just putting two variations of the stages because they couldn't do it other way because of hardware limitations.
