20 Video Game Sidequests Better Than The Main Campaign

After Street Fighter V received middling reviews, Street Fighter VI felt like a return to form, boasting a diverse roster, endless content, and gameplay mechanics suited for newcomers and veterans.

The prized fighting title also offered a story mode, allowing you to traverse around the globe and scrap with rivals. Not only can you acquire a myriad of power-ups and level up in your travels, you should bump into recognisable combatants like E. Honda, Chun-Li, and Blanka. By training with these martial artists, you can summon them in battle and utilise their special moves. 

However, the main incentive to interact with these classic fighters is to hear their anecdotes, which gives great insight into their lives. Ryu's inability to understand texting is funny and shows a surprisingly vulnerable side to the world warrior. Hearing why Sagat turned his back on his terrorist lifestyle or how Dhalsim's stretching powers got him banned from sports isn't just interesting but a great way to humanise these iconic characters.

Also, the fact you can receive emojis and text messages from the demonic Akuma or the psychotic Juri is pretty surreal.
