Street Fighter 6

Street Fighter 6
Developer: Capcom Publisher: Capcom Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Windows Released internationally: June 2, 2023 This game has unused graphics. This game has regional differences. This game has revisional differences. This game has a prototype article This game has a prerelease article

This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

After a...mixed reaction to Street Fighter V, Capcom took it upon themselves to correct many of that title's flaws in Street Fighter 6. Moving to the RE Engine and adopting a more realistic artstyle, this game has far more polished online play, a fancy 3D lobby system, crossplay between all platforms, an extensive "World Tour" single-player mode, a custom character creator that allows you to make some absolute nightmares...and it finally sets the timeline after Street Fighter III.

To do: Unused content to be documented (such as graphics, models, sounds, etc.), if there is any inside the game's files. As noted in the Prerelease page's Fighting Ground sub-page, the TGS 2022 Capcom TV webstream pre-release gameplay had a windowed debug menu. Does that debug menu still exist in the final game or not? Any in-game bugs to be covered and documented?

Offscreen Areas in Fighting Ground VS Room

If someone manages to disable the user interface, and control the camera in the PC version at the Fighting Ground's Character Select screen, it's revealed that there are actually some off-screen parts of the room that are not normally seen in-game in the PS4, PS5, and Xbox versions.

Internal Project Name

In some of the filenames of the game's .pak, it seems to suggest that Street Fighter 6 was given the internal name of es (referring to the E-Sports fighting-game tournament events).

Regional Differences

To do: More regional differences to cover and document. For one thing, the voices in the BGM for "Channel Eternity Opening Slate" and "Pas de Deux - Manon's Critical Art" are different between the English and Japanese versions.

In the Japanese version of the game, much of the English menu text is capitalized. This change also happened in some of Capcom's other recent games, such as Capcom Arcade Stadium and its sequel, and Capcom Fighting Collection.

Fighting Ground Real-Time Commentator Names

In the non-Asian languages, the English commentators are only used by their commentator names, except Thea "Zelina Vega" Trindad (who is known in Japanese by her first name "Thea").

Fighting Ground VS Screen Cutscene

Japanese	English

During the VS Screen cutscene shown before a 1P VS. 2P one-on-one match in the Fighting Ground, the infomation text header that appears reads "(Number)P INFO" in Japan, and as "P(Number) Information" in English. The info text for character heights, weights, likes and dislikes are also translated to match their regional language.

Fighting Ground Results

To do: Could all of the other regional languages (apart from English and Japanese) be added?

Japanese	English
(Character) WIN	(Character) WINS

At the end of a one-on-one match in Fighting Ground, the UI text reads "(Character) WIN" in the Japanese version. In English, an "S" was added to the text so that it reads "(Character) WINS". Other languages have the "WINS" text translated into their own regional language for them. This change is also affected in the Announcer's voice clips.

Japanese	English
WIN	WON

Japanese	English
LOSE	LOST

On the Results screen in the Fighting Ground, the text for marking won/lost players reads "WIN" and "LOSE" for the Japanese version, though they were changed to "WON" and "LOST" in English.

Oddities

There are also ordered internal numbers for the four future Year 1 DLC characters (Rashid, Ed, Akuma/Gouki and A.K.I.).

Scrapped E3 2022/2023 Demo Presence

Inside the .pak (package) file for the PC Demo in "natives/stm/product/flow", there's a folder with the internal name of e3rom, referencing to a scrapped event kiosk demo for E3 2022/2023 that never made it past the pre-release proposal stage, due to that event already being cancelled in place of Summer Game Fest.
