Put your tray tables up, fasten your seatbelts, and get ready to learn more about the single-player immersive mode, World Tour, along with four more characters from the diverse international roster.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Your World Tour itinerary<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">We previously revealed more information on World Tour a few months ago, but we\u2019re ready to update your itinerary with another look. As magnificent as the bustling Metro City is, your travels will take you all around the world to glimpses of specific locations such as a beach in Jamaica, an arena in Italy, and a festival in France. There may even be a Master in each of these locations who can\u2019t wait to meet you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">You will learn Special Moves from these Masters to incorporate into your avatar\u2019s custom move set. You can also mix and match Special Moves from different Masters, meaning your avatar can throw out a Hadoken, a Sonic Boom, perform a Spinning Bird Kick, and a Yoga Flame, all in the same match as long as they\u2019re using different inputs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">When you jump into a fight in World Tour, you may encounter more than one opponent, meaning fights may seem a tad lopsided. Careful selection of Special Moves can ensure you have a balanced move set in case you get cornered. Or\u2026 fight alongside your masters using Master Assist!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In their infinite wisdom \u2013 or chaos, depending on the character \u2013 the Masters won\u2019t leave you alone on the streets. You can fight alongside a Master like Ryu by calling upon them in battle. They will then join the fray and help you for a period of time. Make sure to thank them after the fight. They did teach you everything you know. Deepen your bond with a Master to fight alongside you in World Tour!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Need a break from all the fighting and \u201cprotecting\u201d the streets? World Tour contains a host of minigames you can play in between matches in the form of part-time jobs where you can earn World Tour currency. Karate-chop bottles, enjoy Italian cuisine, parry basketballs, and more to further immerse yourselves. Purchase in-game clothing, food, and more with the currency you earn in these mini games. Since fighting is the name of the game, many of these minigames will also improve your understanding of fighting game fundamentals.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">One legend returns with three newcomers \u2013 Dee Jay, Manon, Marisa, JP<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">First appearing in Super Street Fighter II, Dee Jay is a globally popular dance music superstar who is always ready to have a good time. With a burning love for music and fighting, this Jamaican sensation drives audiences wild with hot new songs and stylish moves. Visit Bathers Beach, Dee Jay\u2019s stage in Street Fighter 6, to find a beachside party full of life amidst a setting sun.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">As a returning character in the series, Dee Jay retains his trademark moves that will get you in the rhythm such as Air Slasher, Double Rolling Sobat, Machine Gun Upper, and Jackknife Maximum. His new move Jus Cool is a retreating sway that can lead into kicking attacks or forward-moving maneuvers that will test his opponent\u2019s tempo. Dee Jay\u2019s Level 3 Super Art is Weekend Pleasure, a barrage of punches reminiscent of his Ultra Combo II in Ultra Street Fighter IV.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">A super model and world champion judoka, Manon is an idealist, forever seeking self-improvement in the pursuit of beauty. She struts the catwalk of street fighting to become the world\u2019s strongest model. Find her in the Fete Foraine stage in France, a dazzling carnival amidst the French skyline.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Manon\u2019s move set is a graceful union between judo grappling and classical ballet. The elegant Man\u00e8ge Dor\u00e9 and Renvers\u00e9 are grabs that will increase Manon\u2019s medal level upon successful completion. The higher her medal level, the more each grab\u2019s properties will change. Manon performs the Pas de Deux in her Level 3 Super Art as if her opponent is her dance partner before smashing them into the ground for a standing ovation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Marisa is an up-and-coming jewelry designer from Italy who claims ancestry to ancient Greek warriors. As a child, she was inspired by a vision of the Colosseum in its prime. Today, she seeks glory with a smile\u2014and an eye for beauty. Bask in the scent of victory in Colosseo, Marisa\u2019s stage, with battle-ready warriors in the background cheering you on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">A powerhouse of a character, Marisa utilizes her long limbs to unleash slow yet gargantuan strikes. Marisa can use Gladius, a devastating straight punch that can be wound up for extra damage. Scutum is a defensive stance that gives her upper body armor and counters an opponent\u2019s attack. Use Quadriga, a powerful front kick to show opponents that \u201cThis. Is. Marisa!\u201d Her Level 3 Super Art channels the Goddess of the Hunt into an almighty tackle straight into a wall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">JP is the head of an international NGO responsible for many successful investment projects, and the man behind Nayshall\u2019s present prosperity. He has a beloved cat named Cybele.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">JP takes control of the entire map from all angles. He uses Departure, placing a void of power in the air, which can then be turned into thorns or can be used to teleport him to its location. JP can also send out clones from across the screen with Torbalan or Embrace to keep his opponents in check. Interdiction is JP\u2019s Level 3 Super Art where he sends destructive power flowing through his opponent\u2019s veins before they explode from within.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Choose your edition<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">Pre-orders for Street Fighter 6 are available today with some knockout incentives for PS5 and PS4 owners.
