Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks in Street Fighter 6’s World Tour
If a time traveler were to have appeared in my living room circa 1993 as I was gleefully mashing my way through Street Fighter II Turbo and told me that, in 30 years, I’d get to create and customize my very own fighter and play in a world crafted around Street Fighter lore…I…I don’t know…
