The most popular Street Fighter 6 character is the one you hate
The best thing about Street Fighter 6 is the vast array of characters that you can take to the titular streets as. There’s familiar faces from the fighting game‘s past, as well as some new challengers who are seeking to topple titans like Ryu and Chun-Li.
