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 unused music. 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.

This is also the first mainline game in the Street Fighter series to feature guest characters from other third-party franchises, with Terry and Mai from SNK's Fatal Fury series joining the game in the future as part of the 2nd Year of post-launch DLC characters.

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?

Revisional Differences Like the previous game, there are a lot of changes between revisional updates.

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).

Unused Music Segments

There are some segments of music tracks in the game's files. Most of them were used in-game while some ended up being unused.

A fast transition segment, and an unused alternative version of the Fighting Ground's 1st main menu music.

An unused segment meant for Ryu's 2nd Arcade mode cutscene in his storyline; "The Path".

A segment of World Tour's main menu music.

An unused segment meant for an area in Metro City in World Tour.

Segments of the Battle Hub's lobby room music. It's unknown if these are heard in-game.

Segments of "Battle Hub - Stage Battle". It's unknown if these are heard in-game.

A segment of "Dhalsimer Temple - Stage Battle". It's unknown if this is used in-game, but this is heard in the full version of the track.

Unused (Instrumental)	In-game (Final)

An instrumental version of "Legend", the game's vocal theme for the Capcom Pro Tour is present. This version lacks an ending, and Rocco 808, Randy Marx and Jay Starr's vocals used in the final version are absent.

Segments of "König oder Feigling - Ed's Theme" performed by Blumio. It's unknown if these are heard in-game, though they are both used in the full version of the track.

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.

Character Names

As usual, the Street Fighter II boss characters have different names in Japanese. Though Akuma and M. Bison are currently playable, Vega and Balrog both cameo appear in the game as non-playable characters.

Japanese	International
Gouki	Akuma
Shin Gouki	Shin Akuma
SiN Gouki	SiRN Akuma
Vega	M. Bison
Balrog	Vega
M. Bison	Balrog

This applies anywhere their names are seen in game, such as the character screen, song names, etc. Akuma and M. Bison's title cards in World Tour mode also differ somewhat to accommodate this:

Japanese	International

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.

Fighting Pass Names

Some of the monthly Fighting Pass event names were different between the Japanese and International versions.

Japanese	English
Get Ready for (Character)!	(Character) Arrives!
Rockman Gala	Mega Man Gala

Music Player Song Names

A few songs in the Music Player have different names between regions.

• Akuma and M. Bison's original themes for SF6, and all of the themes for the Street Fighter II boss characters from previous games had their names changed to reflect the characters' regional names.
• As E.X. Troopers and Otoranger: Rhythm & Battle were never released outside Japan, the tracks from those games keep their Japanese soundtrack album names for the Japanese version, while their Japanese titles were translated for the International version.
• All of the CAP-JAMS arranged tracks have the band's Japanese name translated for the International version as well.

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.
