While this is a testament to just how broken open the beta version of Street Fighter 6 is, it’s also a great sign of health for the game’s Wild West of character customisation. Those who’ll create the coolest and most deranged visual alterations are already cutting their teeth.
But first, some background. For a few months now players have been able to download cracked Street Fighter 6 beta files online, referring to the beta being cracked open for everyone to play. With those files downloaded, anyone can jump into training mode with a limited selection of characters at their fingertips. With third-party software like Parsec, you can even play online. It’s inside this playground of possibilities that the pre-gold grinders, combo creators, and potential pros are hard at work.
