Wildcard Changes
In Wildcard, players c an pick from 4 kits based on Street Fighter 6 characters. Each kit will have a Passive, a Tactical, and an Ultimate, and here is the list of kits:
- Ryu: Close in with fast movement, launch Hadokens at range, then finish with a powerful Shin Shoryuken uppercut.
- Chun-Li: Wall-run into the fight with faster melee attacks, fire Kikoken projectiles, then lock down a zone with a charged Kikosho blast.
- Akuma: Launch Gou Hadoken demon fireballs from range, then close the distance and finish with a Shun Goku Satsu.
- Dhalsim: Float above the fight on low gravity, control space with Yoga Teleport, and rain fire with a Yoga Sunburst from above.
On top of that, there will be tokens around the map to fill the Token Gauge. Once filled, players can activate Fighter Form to switch the camera to third person and unlock the selected fighter's full kit. This includes the following:
- New Tactical and Ultimate
- Stronger melee
- Block ability
- Extra damage resistance
- Bonus speed
The final round is called Showdown, where everyone gets an infinite Fight Gauge to enter Fighter Form at will, and downed or respawning players are thrown straight back into the Arena. All squads fight until one lands the final KO.
