I'm watching some Twitch streams of "Street Fighter 6." From what I've seen, it builds upon the likes of "Street Fighter V" (which I never played) and adds a lot more personality. A lot of the long-timers have aged. Ryu actually looks very awesome as an older, grizzly fighter compared to his younger days. Guile seems like he hit the gym harder than ever before. The combination of this more urban and youthful style gives SF6 quite the personality. I'd surely want to give this game a try if and when I get a chance to.
[OMISSION] "Street Fighter 6" is currently in Closed Beta, I believe. So we'll know more about this game well before the game's final version is released and sold. I still think the character of SF6 so far is that the legends will pass on to let younger talent get their shine on. SF6 seems more youthful and creative. This game has maybe the most character and personality infused into any Street Fighter game since Street Fighter 3.

The latest trailers I've seen for Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 will make up this post.
First, let me talk "Street Fighter 6." I have not played Street Fighter 5 at all, but I think SF6 is turning out to have the biggest dosage of personality since "Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike." I actually like the direction SF6 is going with the Street Fighter series. You can design your own avatars in the game, but being able to be taught and such by Street Fighter personalities is great. I also like the edgier, urban, youthful style "Street Fighter 6" has to offer. On top of that, some of the returning characters look great, if older.
The September 2022 video of "Tekken 8" looks promising. I still never played Tekken 4 or Tekken 7, being stuck in the PS3 era. All I've seen was the epic encounter of Jin and Kazuya. I'm curious as to how many of the other Tekken personalities will fare in Tekken 8. Maybe also we could get some new characters to join the King of Iron Fist Tournament formerly known long ago as "Rave War."
Rather exciting times of late for some fighting games.

Just looking the new rage Arts (Even though they probably won't be reffered to as that when the game comes out):
- Nina is the master of Gunkata (Refer to this movie to get the silly joke I am making)
- Kazuya has the most Anime antagonist finisher ever, which is ended by a freaking Genocide Cutter
- Jin has become the embodiment for the Tekken name: The Iron Fist
Jokey observations aside, I really love that they are adding abit more flash to the characters. It always felt weird that in a series where we literally have bears and Kangaroos and people with powers from the literal Devil (Or least their spin on said Devil) fighting each other, only a few characters had actual flash of some kind in their moves. The way its done here is really cool, there is far more personality in these movesets that frankly haven't been largely changed since Tekken 5 when you think about it and, along with the mostly amazing costume redesigns, have really breathed new life into the series visually. As not bad as Tekken 7 looked, This has managed to eclipse it already. Seeing two of my favorite characters getting such treatment is really cool, even if I may have to do abit of relearning with one of them (which is fine considering it means I get abit of what I enjoyed from Tekken 3 back but in a cooler, sleeker package). Biggest unknown for me is this new heat system, I barely was able to really grasp the Rage drive stuff (Granted I'm a filthy casual so don't expect Sonic Fox or even OG Justin Wong level gameplay from me) so this is going to be a period of an adjustment.
