Is there a Street Fighter 6 arcade mode?
You'd think a Street Fighter 6 arcade mode would be obvious, but the last entry actually added it on through an update much later than its initial release.
A Street Fighter 6 arcade mode would be a great way to harness your skills before you face off against competitors online. It was strangely left out during Street Fighter 5's launch but has Capcom learned its lesson from leaving out such a crucial fighting game mode? Here's everything we know about a Street Fighter 6 arcade mode.

Can you play arcade mode in Street Fighter 6?
When Street Fighter 5 launched, it severely lacked single-player modes and instead focused on multiplayer affairs. This left out many fans of the series who want to play the game against computers rather than competitive players online. Thankfully, this time around a Street Fighter 6 arcade mode will be available at launch.
Throughout this mode, every character will have their own voiced, yet brief introduction with art stills explaining the storyline. In addition to facing a series of fighters all across the world, you'll be beating up vehicles like trucks as you proceed through the arcade mode.
It's important to have an arcade mode in every fighting game at launch. It's a core element of the genre as players used to go to arcades when classics like Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Mortal Kombat arrived. "Having an arcade mode in an arcade-style fighter is very important," says Team Spooky in a video covering the feature. "It's the same experience as when you were a kid and went to play Street Fighter 2 and you put a quarter in a machine."

All single-player modes in Street Fighter 6
While a Street Fighter 6 arcade mode is a welcome sight, the main attraction will be the World Tour mode. You'll be playing as your own custom character exploring the landscapes of the series, such as Metro City. As you proceed through the game, you'll learn new moves from masters like Ryu and Chun-Li. It will have its own original story that has you on a globetrotting adventure. The cool thing is that you can start a fight with anyone on the street.
There will of course be local Versus and Training options as well for single player gamers of Street Fighter 6. You can also alter the commentator of your battles if you'd like.
