how is the single player value for SF6?

[jidong216]

other than story mode, does it have an arcade mode, any other modes that offer replay value for single player?

Pretty low. After you finish World Tour, that is.

If it had offline ranks like Tekken, on the other hand, everything would be SO MUCH better.

is there a basic arcade mode where you go through a set number of fighters? if so, are opponents randomized per character or the same every time?

It has Arcade Mode and a few random modes you can play vs CPU (just rules on top of the VS mode) but as a whole I wouldn't say it makes for a "great single player experience". World Tour is the best part and while it's charming, it's kind of slow and kind of empty in the grand scheme of things.

Arcade mode is random characters each time but the same opponent at the end.

If you can rent the game somehow I'd recommend that, otherwise I don't think there's much single-player here past maybe 40 hours unless you REALLY click with World Tour and love it.

Yes. There are even challenges such as "destroy the truck in X amount of time" and "parry the basketballs in X amount of time", similar to previous games.

There's also a party game mode called Extreme Matches but they get old fast, sadly.

thanks for the detailed response

World tour is useful if you're a drooling baby and bad. It straight up only exists to cater to kids/extreme casuals. You can probably beat the game doing nothing but throw.

The "story" mode is literally like 8 slides of pictures and 15 sentences between what, 5 normal fights? Per character.

People who say anything good about the single player content are 12, modernized into liking low effort trash, or have never played a good game before.

Don't believe what people say. You can choose between 5 or 12 fights.

I don't remember there being several lengths. But anyway, they're just normal npc fights....like as if you did a vs mode with cpu. It's sad. Unless the longer mode does something?

Back in the day fighting games would have stuff actually happening, meaningful story stuff that's more than 1 minute of reading, maybe some videos, and special bossses. IN sf6 it's almsot as plain as it could possibly be.

Regardless of my dickishness. I got pretty fed up with many things about sf6 and modern capcom's effort.

The side modes will be decent if you are seriously terrible at the game, that's really it. If you are the least bit competent they're a total waste of time. So for a kid whos never played any of this stuff it would seem ok.

this dude is so mad at a video game you can just say "its boring, short, and not worth your time" you don't have to go out of your way to insult people who actually enjoyed it, across multiple posts, multiple times in each post

lol

I get insulted that gaming has devolved so intensely. I'll be mad about it all I want. Mean or not, those are the types of people who will find value in these modes.

Gaming has devolved so much that we get games. God forbid.

[Scrub]

yeah, getting insulted that "gaming has devolved" is pretty hilarious. that's some main-character energy right there

im glad there are brave warriors like yourself standing up for the most oppressed class............. GAMERS 🫡

This is easily a fighting game I spend most time with, but as far as singleplayer offering, I haven't seen one that would come even close.

You get World Tour - which I enjoyed a lot, but it is mostly a 40plus hour long tutorial. Still, far, far above what other Fighting game seem to offer. Still, campaign does have a strong "now go and play some multiplayer" feel to it when you finish, so it is not exactly fulfilling as a stand alone campaign.

Aside from that you have standard arcade mode (random 1v1 v CPU) with 5 or 12 fights and varying difficulties. There is tiny bit of story, which once you can disable once you beat it once. You can also set up custom matched against CPU, including gimmicky "Extreme" battles.

While mostly social multiplayer mode, Battle Hub offers 4 retro Capcom games to dive into, rotated regularly.

So it is pretty robost, but as it is with fighting game, main fun lies in multiplayer IMO. Once can sink a lot of time into Singleplayer portion as well, though.
