Street Fighter 6’s fascinating attention to detail

Players have to build up their ‘Drive meters’ to perform better moves. Building up the drive meter and using it in the fight also changes the character’s expression, depending on the amount of energy it has. The energy players use from the Drive meter will make their characters more and more exhausted. 

Burning the meter halfway would make the characters’ expressions to be very apparent of their exhaustion and completely burning the meter will make the character look burned out. Even in the video above, the visual details can be clearly seen where the YouTuber showcases it with the recently released character, Juri.
