Capcom has announced that a Street Fighter 6 Showcase is taking place on April 20th, with Lil Wayne hosting. It will be streaming at 15:00PDT/ 23:00 BST. Not much is being given away except that the Street Fighter 6 Showcase will show more of the game world, have some fight action, and that there will be big announcements, including different game modes.
The launch roster for Street Fighter 6 has been confirmed, with 18 characters making the cut. Those characters are:
However, there will be more characters coming over Street Fighter 6’s lifetime as some editions of the game include a Character Pass and Ultimate Pass. The Showcase may shed light on the characters that could be available in the character pass, along with cosmetics and additional stages that will be coming in the future. The showcase may even give a glimpse of those additions.
In our most recent Street Fighter 6 preview, Nick P wrote, “Without having to worry about building up a meter to do cool things, new players can properly learn the fundamentals of fighting games, meaning hopefully they’ll give it a go and stick around. For veterans, the Drive System is going to help showcase some real creativeness, and will foster deeper experimentation to make the most of it. The professional scene is going to be a marvel to behold in the coming years! We haven’t even scratched the surface yet of what Street Fighter 6 has to offer, but I can tell you now, it’s going to be an all timer.”
