Street Fighter 6: Our EGX Impressions
We got to play Street Fighter 6 at EGX! You can read our impressions here, but here’s an excerpt from them:
“Street Fighter 6 has a whole lot to live up to. When Street Fighter V was released, it released to what one could call… negative reception. It was released as a PlayStation 4 console exclusive due to a “shared vision” (which roughly translates to a lot of money changing hands to make sure we got this game). This would be grand if it wasn’t for the sheer lack of content during the initial launch period.“
