World Tour: How Street Fighter 6 Created the Best Single Player Mode 

World Tour isn't just the best fighting game single player mose because of how content packed it is, but because it's the first that realized how important this can be to learning the genre

Also honestly, SF6 deserved to win all the awards, it reinvented the genre. If took me like 20 hours to realize that World Tour is a secret tutorial, and that is incredible.

This is just me, but i think World Tour took most of its inspiration from the "create character" modes in the japanese versions of Rival Schools/Project Justice. You spent a school year making your character and meeting the playable characters, what they like and think about things, making friends and so on, and throw some mini-games in between while lore-dumping stuff on you... i mean its too obvious if you played those japanese versions :3

“Maybe if I stick with it, I’ll be able to go pro in talking one day.” -Thorgi, in a 40 minute long video that consists entirely of him talking, on a channel where 40 minutes is considered relatively short.

I actually liked the World Tour main story. It gave me a reason to hate JP as a villain whereas Bison was just the typical evil guy that I forgot was in the old games. I think we could’ve fleshed out Bosch more to make his story hit harder, but watching the villain get away still hurt.

The classic SF2 characters were always likeable but this game fleshed them out so much and made them loveable beyond belief. I never cared about Honda at all, but now he is my mans.

I'm not at all a pro, but i like to see myself as a seasoned player (as i have religiously played SF from the SF-II era) and truth be told, World Tour doesn't really impress me in the beginning, BUT, at 120 hours of playtime now, i realized 77 hours of that was spent on World Tour. Made me realize i liked World Tour more than i thought. The level ups, the mix and match of special moves, the unlocking items without really have to think about story progression etc. is just perfect for fighting game fans.

Wow. This might be one of your best videos yet, imo. The way you broke down the ending where the game introduces you to the battle hub and reveals it's been teaching you this whole time gave me literal goosebumps

So glad you mentioned how well the playable characters are written, some characters I wasn’t hot on at first or didn’t think I’d like really won me over with how they’re written in the game. Manon’s the real standout for me, I thought she was just gonna be pretty woman who hit and throw good but I ended up really liking her. Especially with how her arcade mode kinda hit me in the feels, that was great

Besides a great way to teach new players the game mechanics and moves, I feel World Tour actually puts the player in the same shoes as main characters like Ryu, by having the player being the fighter who is traveling the world, learning and fighting strong opponents. Doesn't matter if the player wins or loses, lessons will be learned by the experience and there will be more challenges waiting in this world tour mode. As written in Ryu ending in SF 2 "Cerimony means nothing. The fight is everthing"

What i love about World Tour mode is that it adresses something that i always had to carefully evaluate when buying a fighting game. Normally i have to think "ok, will i REALLY play this game a lot? dedicate myself to get better and play al ot online? will my friends get it so i can play with them?" because otherwise, i might play arcade a few times and be done, and that just wouldn't justify a 60$ purchase, and i bet im not the only one who thinks like that about fighting games.

I'm a Mortal Kombat guy and I fine myself invested more in Street Fighter 6 World Tour mode than any other MK game. Even back when in the 3D era of MK Deception, I fine this to be even more fun than the single player content in that game.

Could easily see the popularity of World Tour helping to add future story content that maybe continues from where the base World Tour ended on.

World Tour is definitely one of my favorite game modes! I really love Street Fighter 6 and everything this game offers!

Gotta say that it's really amusing watching your avatar going around fighting random people in the background. Really shows off the fun stuff you can do with customizable characters.

I can confirm this. I've never played a fighting game in my life but I've best time with world tour! I'm now also enjoying online because I know some basics.

I have absolutely zero competitiveness but I LOVE fighting games, I buy so many of them and then drop off after a week because I beat the arcade. World Tour is the best thing to happen to the genre in my eyes recently. I'd be a diehard if this mode got spun off into its own series.

I gotta say, the character creator is one of the best I've personally seen. You can create some genuinely cool looking characters who look extra cool with certain movesets

I bet a lot of newbies jump into VS mode first only to get crushed and reluctantly only retreat to World Tour mode because they're discouraged and bummed out that they aren't good enough to play others...unknowingly walking into the perfect training mode where after being Mr Miyagi'ed into learning to play they're encouraged to try VS mode again! Capcom legit thought about the overall gaming experience newbies buying the game will have

I requested the over the shoulder camera idea for the return of World Tour mode on Maximilian's channel EVERY time he had a video asking, "What would you want in a new Street Fighter?" over the past like 5 years 🤣. They listened!
