Among the lengthy laundry list of things that Street Fighter 6 excels at, one of the most impressive has to be the sense of community and scale around the game’s online component. The MMO-style Battle Hub environment does a brilliant job of fostering arcade-like community over the internet – but did you know that the adventures can also continue, to some degree, on your browser?
Woefully under-advertised but nevertheless there and waiting for SF6 players is the Buckler’s Boot Camp, a subsection of the game’s official website that basically exists to give you a window into Battle Hub and the CFN (the Capcom Fighters Network) from outside the game. And the website is actually quietly brilliant.
At a basic level, this website would be fully functional if it were just a news feed advertising battle passes, DLC characters, server maintenance, and other news about the game. But the Buckler’s Boot Camp is actually quite a bit more than that – and it speaks to the level of care and attention Capcom has put into all aspects of Street Fighter 6.
