Street Fighter VI (BigBDawg)

Street Fighter VI (also stylized as Street Fighter 6) is a 2.5D fighting game running off Unreal Engine 4 that is a sequel to Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, and concludes the story of the Illuminati and its leader Gill. It also serves as a prequel to Street Fighter The Team Slugfest, showing the events leading to the Team Slugfest's announcement and the story of Ryu's battle with Gill.

Story
After the events of Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, Gill has begun to plot and plan the next phase of the Illuminati's goals to be able to save the "worthy". Since it has been believed that it might be too long to create a new utopia, Gill has decided to use the Illuminati's massive resources to be able to bring about the end of the world, and he is seeking the chosen to either align with him or suffer the wrath of the Illuminati.

However, what Gill doesn't anticipate is many warriors will stand in his way and aim to end the Illuminati once and for all. But Gill believes himself unassailable because he is a god. But there comes a time... where even gods must fall.

Gameplay
Street Fighter VI plays a lot like past Street Fighter games, using elements of Street Fighter Alpha 3 with each character having a minimum of 2 Super Arts to use, but also using elements of Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, Ultra Street Fighter IV, and Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition to make it its own experience. Each character has their own set of throws, command moves, special moves and Super Arts they can use as well as their S-Skill and F-Skill abilities similar to the V-Skill and V-Trigger of Street Fighter V to help them in battle. The goal is simple; beat your opponent by making their health hit 0, or have the most health before time runs out.

The roster of characters contains a mix of everyone from Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike returning in addition to characters from other games to give a well-rounded but effective roster of characters that have a wide array of moves and abilities for them to be able to use.

Traveling through some old familiar territory back home in Japan, Ryu suddenly was stopped by the presence of something wicked in the air. He wasn't sure what to make it, but he could tell it was not like anything he had felt in the past. Since his further refinement of Mu no Ken, the Power of Nothingness, Ryu had felt himself more attuned with nature than he had ever experienced before. What he felt however was very familiar to himself... that was the presence of Gill, the leader of the Illuminati. Although Ryu had not faced him directly, he could feel that kind of power and wickedness, almost similar to that of a god, and it frightened him. Realizing there were answers he needed, Ryu set off once more, to see if he could get those answers to his questions...

For Ken, he didn't know what to think when it came to the mess with the Illuminati, after his encounter with Urien, one of its agents almost a year ago. But what worried Ken more was something Urien told him directly. "Do not think that you can keep up your peaceful life for long... everything will change soon." Then, he got some word from Ryu about something he had felt, and that he'd need his help. Knowing he wanted to help his friend, Ken got himself ready to go.

Regardless of rescuing Li-Fen from Urien, Chun-Li had a shaking suspicion that he wasn't done with her or anything else he had planned. Using her instinct as an Interpol agent, Chun-Li began to gather what information from her colleagues that she could about Urien, learning he was a part of some kind of secret society.
