StreetFighter6's Battle Hub already feels like an excellent social space for players to unwind between fights.
Fighting games live or die on their online communities. Of course, basic functions like rollback netcode and cross-play are essential to a healthy fighting game, but Street Fighter 6 goes further by creating an online hub that celebrates the series and gives players somewhere to hang out between matches.
Multiplayer hubs as a replacement for simple menus aren’t a new concept for fighting games . Still, for Capcom’s first attempt at one, the Battle Hub is full of personality and things to do. Its stark blue colors, a plethora of screens, and many gameplay cabinets make it feel like the high-tech arcade Capcom wants it to be.
I could also walk up to any player and message them or view their profile and performance in previous matches, so it does seem like it will be easy to find a community in Street Fighter 6. In the center was an open area where players could group up and emote with each other, but I was more intrigued by the special arcade cabinets off to the side that let me try Extreme Battle, a Street Fighter 6 side mode that introduces gimmicks to fights.
