Did Shenmue somehow inspire Street Fighter 6's developers to create the World Tour mode? Director Takayuki Nakayama responds
Street Fighter 6 will no doubt have a huge emphasis on player vs. player gameplay as a fighting game, but it will apparently also come packaged with a single player World Tour mode. According to the Street Fighter 6 official website, the "World Tour immersive single player story mode" that will "defy genre labels."
We actually haven't seen anything of Street Fighter 6's World Tour mode outside of trailers, but it seems that some have observed similarities to Sega's Shenmue series. During an interview IGN Japan with Takayuki Nakayama and Shuhei Matsumoto, the respective Director and Producer for Street Fighter 6, the topic about Shenmue inspirations in Street Fighter 6 came up.

Street Fighter 6 Director says Modern Controls won't be an 'easy mode' and players should use them at tournaments if they want
Simplified control options have existed in fighting games for decades now at this point, but Street Fighter 6 will mark the first time Capcom's mainline series will attempt to implement such a feature, which has many players curious as to how it will turn out.

Just how difficult is the 'Perfect Sonic Boom' in Street Fighter 6? Maybe not as hard as you'd think...
Some time ago, it was revealed that Guile will be able to enhance the properties of his Sonic Boom projectile when used with "perfect timing" in Street Fighter 6. Some within the FGC might refer to this as a Just Frame Sonic Boom, implying that this version of the projectile requires execution of certain inputs within one-sixtieth of a second.
Needless to say, it's suspected that this so-called Perfect Sonic Boom will be quite difficult to perform consistently without a solid year or more of practice. During a Capcom showcase video that was uploaded back in the middle of June, Capcom developers were able to demonstrate a consistent usage of the Perfect Sonic Boom during the Street Fighter 6 segment. Just how difficult will it be to perform a Perfect Sonic Boom?
This awesome fan art gives Darkstalkers characters beards in honor of Street Fighter 6's 'hot' trend

Who will win Street Fighter 6's tournament or ending battle?
We've previously documented who won the various Street Fighter tournaments, but with a brand new game on the horizon, we wanted to discuss who the most likely candidates to take home the glory will be. While not every Street Fighter entry has an official tournament in it, there's usual a last battle of some sort in lieu of a bracket, and we often count the person who delivers the killing blow on the main boss as the winner for that game.
With the past winners in mind, along with a number of other characters who fit the timeline and power requirements needed to be a tournament winner, we discuss who the most likely candidates are to win Street Fighter 6's tournament or last battle.

Capcom can't afford to repeat SF5 mistakes with Ryu in Street Fighter 6; 'The experiment is over' according to Daigo Umehara
As the poster boy and most recognizable face in the nearly 35 year old franchise, Ryu is the most important character in all of Street Fighter. That's why it was surprising to see he flailed and failed quite a lot through the majority of Street Fighter 5's six year lifespan.
Recently fighting game legend Daigo "The Beast" Umehara spoke a bit on his expectations for the (formerly) shoe-less wanderer in the upcoming Street Fighter 6, and why Capcom can't really afford to continue 'experimenting' with the character anymore.

Fascinating discovery reveals how Drive Systems may differ between characters in Street Fighter 6
The Drive System is arguably Street Fighter 6's most interesting and coolest battle design choice by offering every player and character a selection of both offensive and defensive tools on 1 meter, but exactly how they function may not be entirely uniform.
After a small collection of players got to go hands on with SF6 earlier this month, some people began to realize that the attributes of Drive Rushes in the game appear to be different among the fighters.
