Capcom isn't trying to reinvent the wheel with its upcoming fighting game, Street Fighter 6. But it is trying to improve and enhance the Street Fighter experience in interesting, incremental ways. Several new features have already been confirmed that help Street Fighter 6's characters stand out during gameplay in unique ways. Yet another such feature has now been discovered during Japan Expo 2022. Each Street Fighter 6 character will have a unique celebration animation upon completing a Perfect round.
Accomplishing a Perfect round in Street Fighter has always been something worth celebrating. But that's never been something that happens in-game, beyond a «Perfect» message being displayed on-screen or a marker denoted in a player's won rounds. In Street Fighter 6 that will be changing. Street Fighter 6 characters will have their own unique character animations that play after they execute a Perfect round. The animations will, of course, suit the character's personality and be fittingly celebratory.
