Street Fighter 6 offers a variety of new game modes and match types, including the highly anticipated World Tour mode. This innovative mode allows players to create their own unique character and embark on a role-playing adventure reminiscent of Yu Suzuki's classic Shenmue series. Unlike Shenmue, however, World Tour mode features 15 distinct chapters and 47 main story missions, as well as numerous optional side quests that reward players with exciting cosmetic items for their avatars. Chapter 1 of World Tour mode serves as an extension of the tutorial, guiding players through the intricacies of initiating fights, restoring health, and interacting with the game's diverse cast of NPCs.
Chapter 1 Walkthrough - New Kid on the Block
Players will kick off Chapter 1 with "New Kid on the Block," the only main story mission available. The first step involves talking to Alice, who is situated near the main road just past the entrance to the subway. In order to progress, players must complete ten assisted combos, which can be achieved by holding R2 (PlayStation) or RT (Xbox) and then pressing either Square or X (PlayStation) or X or A (Xbox) while using the modern control scheme.
Players must first land ten combo hits before they can proceed to defeat two random NPCs. Finding NPCs to challenge is a breeze in World Tour mode, where players can simply approach any NPC and press either the Square (PlayStation) or X (Xbox) button to initiate a fight. It is important to note, however, that players should consider the level of the NPCs they challenge, as some higher-level NPCs might pose a challenge to beginners.
Players can replenish their health in Street Fighter 6's World Tour mode by purchasing food from the nearby food truck, which Luke informs them of through a text message triggered by speaking with Alice after fighting. However, as they make their way to the food truck, they will be ambushed by a pair of Level 1 adversaries wearing cardboard boxes on their heads in the nearby alley.
After defeating Ryan and Tracy, players will be rewarded with a short cut-scene featuring Alice. Following this, a trip to the nearby clothing store is necessary to purchase a cap. Upon completing this task, a message from Luke will appear, informing players that he is waiting nearby. Engaging in conversation with him will initiate a two-on-one sparring match, ultimately leading to Luke becoming the player's first Master, regardless of the outcome.
After completing the "New Kid on the Block" mission, players can find Alice standing in front of the building next to Drippin' Style. She will inquire if the player has grasped Luke's teachings, and they can choose to answer with a affirmative or negative response. Regardless of their answer, the mission will be marked as complete, concluding the first chapter of World Tour mode. Street Fighter 6 can be played on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
