I like that, even though Pat and Woolie seem pretty cautiously excited about Street Fighter 6 overall, they still completely take the piss out of every little bit that is known about it at this time in the above video. I particularly agree with Woolie when he said that Capcom needs to not release an incomplete product like they did with Street Fighter 5, but then, that's like saying I agree with someone who says that humans need to breathe air to continue living.

As someone who played the original arcade version of Street Fighter/Fighting Street (both with the pressure sensitive punch buttons and later with the more normal controller buttons) a couple times when I was 8-10 years old, and who then played the everloving shit out of Street Fighter 2 for years when it came out, both in the arcade and then on the SNES and whatever later console versions I got my hands on, and who then played a lot of the Alpha games, mostly on the PS1 and in the PS2 collection things, and who then played Street Fighter 3 maybe once in an arcade and then a fair bit in one of the PS2 collection things, and who then played quite a bit of Street Fighter 4 when it first came out on XBox 360 (almost 14 years ago WTF has it really been that long already?), and who then, to this day, has still only played a grand total of 21 minutes of Ultra Street Fighter 4 when I rebought it for cheap on Steam, and who then pretty much gave near to zero shits at all about any version of Street Fighter 5, I can safely say that my interest in Street Fighter 6 right now is close to nil. Especially if they're going to be catering more to the MMA crowd with it, because I have no interest whatsoever in MMA.

I probably had the same experience with the Street Fighter franchise, although I suppose the vast majority of my interest in it revolved in the Alpha games and the various crossovers. Barely touched SF3 or SF4, and haven't touched SF5 to this day. Playing SF2 was mostly a competitive thing between me and Koby and his brother growing up although I do remember trying hard to complete the game on my own with various characters.

If Kotaku hadn't mocked the SF6 logo in an article recently I probably never would have even known it was coming out yet. I can safely say I care zero fucks for the game even now that I know.

The height of my playing was probably during middle/highschool and having the ability to go through Street Fighter 2 Turbo: Hyper Fighting on the SNES with Ken on the highest difficulty without losing a round. It was always about 50/50 if I could manage to beat Guile, though, as for whatever reason, he was always the most difficult one for me to beat. It was mostly trying to bait him into doing a flashkick which I'd punish with a shoryuken (or, if I timed it really well and hit him when he was almost back to the ground, a ducking uppercut into a shoryuken). If I tried to jump his near constant sonic booms to attack him, though, he'd invariably cheese out a flashkick and knock me out of the air, so I'd just have to nullify those with a hadoken and try to edge close enough to get him to flashkick from the ground. Though half the time or more, he'd just walk forward and throw me. Really annoying. None of the other characters ever gave me that much trouble.

I'd also play with my best friend from middle/high school as well, or against whatever randos I'd encounter at an arcade, or later on against my nieces and nephews (showing them how to do hadokens and shoryukens and such), but beyond that, I never really cared to play multiplayer. I think I played Street Fighter 4 online for maybe an hour, a day or two after I got it, and then never again. Mostly it was just trying to go through the arcade modes with each character to see their rival battles and endings.
