However, it looks like the box art forStreet Fighter 6didn’t quite hit the mark with fans of the franchise, as many took to social media to express their disappointment. The artwork shows fighter Luke after presumably winning a match, waving his fist in the air with an odd facial expression. One gamer, known as MattMcMuscles on Twitter, tweeted that the box art for this game is easily the worst inStreet Fighterhistory, and many seemed to agree to a certain extent.
Some fans even questioned why Luke is being marketed as the main character of the game, especially when compared to other characters likeRyu and Ken who have more depth and history. Some fans have gone so far as to create their own fan-made cover forStreet Fighter 6in an attempt to show how poor the official one is.
Even though some fans reacted negatively to the cover art forStreet Fighter 6, that doesn’t mean that the game is doomed. The game underwent its first beta earlier this year, and it received positive feedback overall. The cover art is just one small part of the game, and it doesn’t reflect the quality of the game itself. From the reviews it got from its first beta test, it is safe to say thatStreet Fighter 6has the potential to become one of thebest fighting games ever created, so fans shouldn’t be discouraged from playing it simply because of its cover art.
Recently, Capcom has announced that the second closed beta test forStreet Fighter 6will take place from December 16-19, giving players a chance to try out the game before it is released. This is a great opportunity for fans of the series to get their hands on the game and see how it has progressed.
