Street Fighter 6: Walkthrough & Boss Guide

This is a short overview of Street Fighter 6's modes, the Drive System and the World Tour story, based on the Wikipedia article. It is not a World Tour walkthrough, it gives no frame data or matchup advice, and it does not describe level requirements or tactics for individual fights.

Street Fighter 6 was released on 2 June 2023 for PS4, PS5, Windows and Xbox Series X/S. The Years 1-2 Fighters Edition and a Nintendo Switch 2 version launched on 5 June 2025. The game has three main modes: Fighting Ground (local and online versus, training and arcade), World Tour (a single-player story mode with a customisable avatar) and Battle Hub (an online lobby with ranked and casual matches).

The Drive Gauge powers five techniques, so you must decide which to prioritise. They build on existing mechanics such as parries, focus attacks and EX moves. If you fully deplete the gauge, your character enters Burnout: the gauge slowly refills but cannot be used, blocking weakens, chip damage applies, and the character can be stunned by a Drive Impact near a corner.

World Tour is set several years after Street Fighter III. Your avatar trains under Luke in Metro City and befriends Bosch Waraya. Bosch steals money from the Mad Gear gang to fund a resistance group fighting Amnesia, a terrorist organisation influencing the government of Nayshall. Juri later kidnaps him.

At the Suval'hal tournament in Nayshall, you find Bosch, who explains that he volunteered for experiments that gave him Psycho Power so he could assassinate Amnesia's leader, JP. A bomb in the championship belt is meant to kill JP and Bosch. Bosch grabs the belt to save his sister and dies in the blast, and you defeat JP in revenge.

Later, with help from Ingrid, your avatar travels back in time to prevent Bosch's fate, losing their shared history with him.

The launch roster has 18 characters: Blanka, Cammy, Chun-Li, Dee Jay, Dhalsim, E. Honda, Guile, Jamie, JP, Juri, Ken, Kimberly, Lily, Luke, Manon, Marisa, Ryu and Zangief. Jamie, JP, Kimberly, Lily, Manon and Marisa were new to the series. Season 1 added Rashid, A.K.I., Ed and Akuma. Season 2 added M. Bison, Terry Bogard, Mai Shiranui and Elena. Season 3 added Sagat, C. Viper, Alex and Ingrid. Season 4 adds Yasmine, Arjun, Tifa Lockhart and Bosch. Wikipedia notes that World Tour story content stopped receiving updates after Season 3.
