Street Fighter 6 literally gave players something they've been dreaming about for years: the ability to customize a character to one's own liking based off of the moves of the existing characters in the game.

Want to dragon punch like Ryu, throw a sonic boom like Guile, and kick like Chun Li? You can do that now.

Maybe I'm a purist but that sounds awful.. If you want Ryu's moves you have to take his shortcomings. Don't super charge your player into something a backstory can't support

... what are you even talking about?

There's an entire normal arcade mode where the characters are balanced and tiered. All the tournament formats use those presets.

Then there's the open world mode where your own character learns from these characters and creates your own moveset.
