Street Fighter 6: 50 things I loved in this weekend’s brilliant beta

destructoid.com:

This weekend saw a lucky cabal of World Warriors throw down in the first beta testing session for Capcom’s upcoming release Street Fighter 6. And it goes without saying that the new sequel was welcomed with open arms, with both pro and amateur players showering the title with praise across social media, already rolling out screenshots, clips, combo videos, and obvious memes.

We’re on the road to one of the series’ best. Don’t blow it now.

Anyway, to business. While my thoughts on Street Fighter 6‘s gameplay can be found elsewhere on this here site, I heard that you kids (Google) love lists. And thus, I present to you, in no particular order, a non-inclusive round-up of 50 things I loved about the Street Fighter 6 beta. I call it:
