Return of beloved characters
Although street fighter 5 closed its roster with 45 playable fighters, some absences were felt by the community. Therefore, it is to be expected that beloved characters such as Makoto, Dudley, Fei Long, Guy, and C. Viper will feature in the new game. It is worth remembering that the capcom promoted a popularity poll in 2017 that served as the basis for selecting certain fighters for future games in the franchise. It would not be surprising if the results were reused.

street fighter 5 isn’t particularly known for having a good online mode. Even the flaws in this aspect of the game have even made its community work on parallel solutions. Therefore, it is to be expected that the development team has figured out how to apply the so-called netcode rollback effectively, as well as the importance of using technology to provide a quality online experience.

It’s true that a good online ecosystem is primarily responsible for a fighting game’s survival, but Street Fighter 6 can’t make the mistake of its predecessor and leave out casual gamers. Therefore, the game must guarantee access to modalities such as Arcade and History upon launch. Additionally, it’s essential to highlight content that can only be found in offline modes, such as exclusive bosses, well-designed and animated endings, among other possibilities.
According to capom, Street Fighter 6 aims to take the fighting game genre to a new level in eSports. The problem is that this can become a problem if the game is limited to a very specific niche in fighting games. It is important that the company also observes work such as NetherRealmStudios with Mortal Kombat 11which brings robust single-player content to fans, to balance the scales.

Free access to new characters
The formula of content seasons via DLC is already well established in the industry and will hardly be practiced in fighting games. However, street fighter 5 hit the nail on the head by also allowing free access to characters using a currency called Fight Money. In summary, in the game it is also possible to acquire new fighters, scenarios and cosmetic items for amounts of currency, without the need to buy DLC. This possibility would also be welcome in Street Fighter 6.
This format, it should be noted, is very reminiscent of a game free to play and indicates that the capcom he would study to get out of his comfort zone. A good reason to go with the idea is the Project L releasefighting game riot games which is expected to hit the market in 2023. If it follows the trend of competitive gaming in the league of legends and ValoranyouProject L should also be free and promises to shake up the fighting games with a more accessible proposal.
