Capcom has just released Street Fighter 6 on current-gen platforms. Powered by the RE Engine, SF6 pushes next-gen graphics and looks miles better than its predecessor.
Yesterday, YouTube’s ‘Cycu1’ and ‘ElAnalistaDeBits’ shared the following comparison videos. In the first video, we get a direct comparison between the 3D models of Street Fighter 5 and Street Fighter 6. And as we can see, the improvements are huge.
Everything, and I mean everything, looks better in SF6. The lighting is better, the skin shading is better, the shadows are more defined, and the 3D models have more polygons. Hell, there are even some cool clothes physics. And yes, the hair of all main characters looks significantly better than in SF5.
Seriously, look at Ken. Okay okay, it’s a shame that we won’t have any more “banana” memes, but his SF6 model looks soooooooooo good. And don’t get me started with Cammy.
Overall, this is exactly what a “next-gen” game should look like. And I’m using these quotes because all of the latest current-gen games do not feel like “next-gen” titles. I’m also worried about Tekken 8 as its latest trailers are nowhere close to its reveal trailer. Since I’m a die-hard Tekken fan, I’ll be there day-1 (my boy Hwoarang will be in T8 so yay). Still, and while the 3D character models in T8 look amazing, its lighting and shadows feel old-gen-ish right now.
Anyway, enjoy the videos and stay tuned for more!

Interesting. My first thought was that it looked about as good as tekken on last gen. Perhaps I’m mistaken there. Regardless, hard to call this ‘next gen’ when it is in fact a cross gen title.
I prefer the crisp artsyle of Guilty Gear Series over SF 6 . Guilty gear will be timeless while this will age !
They ruined all the character designs by making them some fetish trash in the new ones.
weebs and anime = pedos = ????
American media companies and political families have more pedos in them than all of Japan and weeaboos combined.
It’s very funny Capcom Sponsored Street Fighter game To anime called Tonikaku Kawaii aka Flying to the moon

Anime Season 1 Episode 11 had actual Gameplay of Street Fighter game not parody game
3D Street Fighter was a mistake
Old Street fighter game still best

Imo visually speaking I think the pinnacle was 3rd strike, those fluid sprite animations were top. Imagine they remade those sprites in 4k.
Indeed, SF3:3S was something else. For SF7, if they switch to a high fidelity cel-shaded art style and raised the frame rate to 120FPS they might be able to emulate that level of fluidity.
I’m guessing it still looks pretty good via emulation when upscaled and using integer scaling plus one of the many excellent quality CRT shaders that have been produced in recent times?
I don’t play fighting games anymore but could fire up RetoArch and give it a shot. Although not a fan of sharp pixelated sprites, my shader of choice is ScaleFX with scanlines.
exactly, this is a 2D game. They could’ve done something similar to dragon ball fighterz. Make it look like it’s hard drawn but it’s 3D. SF3 sprite animations look almost rotoscoped. They’re so beautiful.
And its on a 2d fighting plane. Your point?
Only wiggers and blacks play fighting games.
Add the browns without developed frontal cortex (aka Indians, Pakis) to the list.
This is how you identify a white incel that got slapped in the face by multiple minorities on a daily basis. Next step on his life? School shooting.
Never get high on pure copium.
perfect comeback from someone bullied and slapped in the face by minorities as a lifestyle. Keep it up.
I’m 190cm, how am I going to get bullied by a bunch of midgets? Be reasonable.
pfffft!! slapped front and back hand
Well these are the same folk who think that having to wear a mask is some sort of adversity ….. Which only proves how pampered and pu**ies they really are. They would fall completely to pieces in the face of true adversity
Eat ze bugs, fa**ot.
Lol you are quite dumb
This is statistically almost impossible.
The average IQ here is around 100. Two standard deviations below that is smarter than any black or brown country.
Meaning if I’m one of the dumbest people in my country, I’d be an absolute beast of a genius in your country.
Except you aren’t. You’re just a manchild who lost at fighting games and now are racist because reasons. Or you always have been. OOOH that’s the problem! You lost to people who you deemed are dumber than you! I’m so sorry for your sheltered life
Thanks for proving that you don’t understand basic statistics Justin.
If I ever feel one way or another about losing in a video game, I’d hang myself.
Thanks for your comment.
Tbh SFIV and V looked simplistic and dated when they came out, partly due to the style they were going for, but I always thought they looked bad.
So, whatever happened to unmoderated commenting on this site? Why do I keep getting comments “awaiting moderation”, and now, I’m getting comments completely scrubbed.
Are you moderated, or aren’t you? It seems like the year-end vote means nothing in the end. No shocker there either though.
it’s largely better than SF5 but calling SF6
“this is exactly what a game should look like.”
is totally wrong, SF6 look like a ps3 game
You might want to go an remind your brain what PS3 games, largely running at 720p, look like. For example, God of War 3 looked out-of-this world in 2009, but go and watch a video of it today.
yeaaaahh sure dude of course XD

Considering all these are from the world tour and not from the actual fighters shows me you are cherry picking to hell
did you even look at god of war 3 graphics,
You might want to go an remind your brain what PS3 games

you should not be this dumb picking low res pictures. Try, life gets harder.
That’s not a screenshot from the PS3 version. Reverse image search shows that’s from the PS5 remaster, you plank.
That’s fine and all, but who cares when all the characters look like tr@nny rejects who have been ingesting the opposite sex’s hormones for the past 2 years?
This game looks absolutely disgusting, in more ways than one.
You should have your eyes checked if you think that.
huh i think you are the one who should check eyes dude
what’s not video game cancer according to you? That clickfest Diablo 4 I bet.
LOL

“Overall, this is exactly what a “next-gen” game should look like”
dunno what you are blabbing about but on ps5 demo it looked like trash, totally meh, plastic cartoony characters popping out of avarage looking background, and it will look like that at release.
“PS5” thats your problem.
Should be “demo” thats your problem
He really needs to stop commenting on graphics. SF6 “next-gen”. Jesus christ, it looks like a PS3 game at times. Especially in World Tour, it looks like absolute garbage.
Thats the demo buddy. Play the actual game and you’ll see how wrong you are
fanboy trying hard to defend their point XD
tell what you want, this is aps3 game graphics

it’s funny how there are fanboy be like “SF6 is next gen graphics omg”
How is this relevant?
gamers: “$70 is way overpriced for games”
Capcom: “We sell SF6 for $100. There will also be DLC, Battle passes and Denuvo”
gamers: “capcom is great”
I always deduct about 30% from the review score of Japanese games due to the influence of the weeaboo media and weeaboo reviewers.
Got it as cdkeys for $40. Learn to shop.
CDkeys? LMAO, you literally bought from a scam site that steals people’s credit card info. How do you think they make money dumb dodo.
They have already sold your credit card info, go call your bank instead of posting here.

paid for the game, got the key and it activated just fine haha. u r such a puss clown
3 people had that issue so they always do that? Hm…. seems logical. Except I have been buying from them and didn’t have this issue.
I’ve been using cdkeys for as long as I care to remember. Never had an issue with them.

Next gen is the next Xbox and ps6. We are almost 3 years in current gen stop calling it next gen
We are only about 1/3 of the way through the ridiculous 7 year development cycle.
True Next Gen = RTX 4000 and RX 7000
cartoon game has worse graphics than game that looks like it came from over 10 years ago.
not bad i wish it was fps.
Gotta love all the butthurt nerds in this comment section who use the world tour as their argument instead of the actual characters in the main game(I dislike world tour)
For you this is true next gen ? those are PS3 Like graphics bro, you are true noob…
Are your eyes ok? The world tour might have that issue but all the actual character models looks legit.
they still look like ps3 graphics though
