Capcom shows off footage ofStreet Fighter 6’s arcade mode, with it focused on the classic Car Smash minigame, except this time the car is now a truck.Street Fighter 6will release in a little less than a month, launching on several major platforms later this June. Capcom’s done a lot to show off the game, giving fans a lot of looks at the gameplay, in both the competitive multiplayer and single-player aspects. Asides from the local and online competitive matches players can take part in, the offline crowd can engage in an ambitious story mode with a custom character, or a more traditional arcade ladder.The arcade mode is included inStreet Fighter 6’s latest demo, alongside a training mode, offline versus, and special matches, albeit with a limited roster that consists of only Ryu and Luke. While some fans wished the demo was geared to be a more competitive experience like the open betas, this demo gives a small window into what to expect for the single-player mode. For those who haven’t played it yet, Capcom has revealed a twist on a classic minigame that can be found in the Arcade mode: Car Smash.RELATED:Street Fighter 6 Players Still Accessing the Closed Beta May Be PunishedThese bonus stages are aniconic aspect ofStreet Fighter, where after a certain amount of fights, players are tasked with accomplishing a certain task to get extra points. In the case ofStreet Fighter 2, the most memorable of these bonus stages is for players to use their character to destroy a car, much like inFinal Fight. This minigame will be making its return inStreet Fighter 6, though instead of destroying a car, fans will need to break apart a big rig truck.
This was briefly demonstrated with a video fromStreet Fighter 6’s Twitter account, which showed Cammy using her trademark offense to destroy the truck, with her only having a limited amount of time to do so. Another one of these bonus stages was also shown off, this time based on aminigame fromStreet Fighter 3, where a player needs to parry basketballs, though instead of Sean throwing them at the player, it’s a different NPC. According to the tweet, the high scores fans can get from these minigames can be uploaded to an online leaderboard.
Street Fighter 6may look like the underdog of June 2023, though Capcom has done a lot to promote the game in the lead-up to its release next month. This includes a comic book miniseries that will begin publication on May 6, as a part of Free Comic Book Day, with subsequent issues being published on a weekly basis afterward. The first issue can also be read online, which features Ken Masters and Luke Sullivan.
Street Fighter 6releases June 2 on PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
