Award for excellence Reason

The game attracted many supports of many users from fighting game freaks to beginners and won the price. Players enjoy profound bargaining in the “Drive Gauge,” “World Tour,” where a character becomes a legend fighter’s pupil, and the “Battle Hub,” where online battles have strong resemblance to battle tables in game arcades.
In addition, the two types of control schemes are prepared. The “classic control” scheme requires precise command entry similarly to previous entries while “modern control” scheme is simplified to the utmost limit.

Special Award Reason

This fighting game has the latest features and offers the very satisfactory “sound accessibility feature,” which ensures pleasant game play experience without any visual information, such as the sound informing the distance from an opponent, and the sound informing the residual quantity of gauge.
This feature realizes equal battles between a visually handicapped player and a non-handicapped and enhances the game’s possibility and the range of e-sport games. The Selection Committee evaluates it and gave the award.

Work Introduction

“Street Fighter 6” is the latest game of the series developed by using Capcom's unique RE Engine. Players can enjoy three game modes: Fighting Ground, World Tour, and Battle Hub.
“Fighting Ground” offers the “Modern” control scheme, which breaks through the wall of the command entry, and Real Time Commentary feature, which allows players at home to enjoy realistic sensations experienced in the game tournament. Effectively use the “Drive System,” which is a key to defense and attack and experience showy performances and exhilarating battles.
In “World Tour,” a story mode, create a hero within the feature-rich Avatar Creation. While interacting with dwellers in the Street Fighter world and learning fighting skills from Ryu, Chun-Li and other teachers, players make journeys, searching for an answer to the question: “What is strength?”
Avatars, who train in World Tour, get together at the “Battle Hub.” Enjoy communications with them. Let’s get excited over Arcade and Avatar Battles!
