In Street Fighter 6, hobo Ken might be his best self yet

Street Fighter 6 Ken continues a trend. It's normal for characters in any fighting game series to get a bit of polish for each new instalment, and Ken is one of the most frequently revised in the Street Fighter series' roster. In recent games, he's gone from an overconfident Ryu clone with his signature red gi to adopt a sportier look. His specials change between games, too: he's had fire added to his Shoryuken and has forgotten techniques that didn't work too well, such as the heavy Tatsumaki from Street Fighter 5, making room for him to learn new, powerful moves in their place.

Street Fighter 6 Jamie guide

Want to learn how to fight as Street Fighter 6 Jamie? Heavily inspired by his expert martial artist cousins, Yun and Yang, Jamie is the self-proclaimed defender of Chinatown. He specializes in the fighting style known as Zui Quan - Chinese drunken fist. Jamie is Street Fighter's first drunken master character, though officially the drink Jamie can be seen sipping on during fights is said to be a 'herbal concoction', not alcohol.

Jamie's main rival is Street Fighter 6 Luke - unlike the series' main rivals, Ryu and Ken, these two feature radically different fighting styles. His drunken-fist fighting style can be tricky to understand at first, but if you can find time to take a few sips of his drink during the fight, you can unlock a variety of moves to help you crush your opponent. Jamie is by far one of the most interesting characters on the Street Fighter 6 roster, so here's a breakdown of his moves, combos, and strategy to master this martial artist.

Is Street Fighter 6 crossplay?

Want to know if you can play Street Fighter 6 crossplay? Crossplay enables you to play with fighters on other platforms. Since SF6 is being released on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, this feature would give you more opponents to go up against in both casual and ranked play.

The fighting game can of course be played against AI bots, but there's nothing better than dominating another real-life player. Street Fighter 5 had crossplay functionality, so we'd of course expect the same from Street Fighter 6. This is Capcom though, so you can never expect the obvious. Here's what we know about Street Fighter 6 crossplay ahead of the game's release date in early June.
