SF6 - World Tour Mode - Tips n Tricks



Negatives(?):

While I dislike some of the cutscene characters (the non-cast, aka not real street fighters)... the playthrough is somehow addictive. I think I've just been in the mood for a semi-mindless type game, and this single player is pretty close to that. It still has some cool stuff, no doubt. 

Positives and info:

If you are new to this, there is a TON of tricks you better plan for if you want some free costumes and/or to unlock most of the game. 

Your Character
  • For a cheap $1000 Zenny, you can make your guy super tall and skinny at various beauty stores or whatever vendor thingies at a few places. 
  • Tall+skinny+Long legs and arms will make a lot of fights easier. This is what I did. 
  • For example, if in doubt, you can often get in a pattern of jump straight up, hit with HP or HK on the way down, sweep to trip them. Rinse repeat. Sad but true, some of the hardest fights were won this way. 
  • For example, if you use Lily's fighting style with a tall guy with long arms, her MP poke becomes insane. Super quick poke across the screen, very safe to do vs. the CPU. 
    • I continually stuffed one super scary high level enemy around level 65 or 75 b/c he was trying to do sonic booms from afar.  
  • Use DJ's double sonic boom thingie + Guile's flashkick to beat a lot of CPUs. UPDATE: I had to use this to beat Akuma on his final upgrade fight b/c damn he got hard at level 86. He'd dragonpunch any jump and other annoying things. But DJ's HP sonic boom projectile annihilated him.  
  • I used Blanka's fighting style for the horizontal ball to beat a lot of things from level 1 to 50ish.
    • Blanka's down-toward HP slide is super good against Akuma b/c he spams firealls,... maybe forever or maybe until Akuma gets to level 86+(?). 
  •  Don't get obsessed with beating guys 10 levels higher than you... some fights seem to be made to be lost. And other fights, they just cheez it so you can't win without wasting 1000 HP potions (drinks) or continues. Pick and choose and don't completely go crazy. 
    • You should be about 10+ levels higher than them for a "fair fight" if I recall. 
    • You can beat guys who are 10+ levels higher than you, but it is tough.  Cheez the hell out of them, dont' feel bad.
      • NOTICE that calling in helpers (masters) is great b/c they seem to do more damage against guys that are much higher level than you. 

 

      • UPDATE: Sheng Long is in the game, haha! I, level 69, beat him, level 90, without too much trouble with the Akuma style, mostly fireballs, OD (EX) fireballs, and calling in helper Masters. He was a yellow flexing arm symbol on the map, top of the skyscraper where the labcoat guys and copycat robots are. 
        • But immediately after, I fought the sumo-lady (level 75 or 80ish) yellow arm symbol on the map near E. Honda's area in metrocity, and used Honda's style and got nuked over and over... wasted a ton of drinks and continues to beat her. 
  • Reset all your SKILLS, it's possible. It costs 10 continues (is that maybe 10,000(?) "Miles" the continue fight after getting knocked out resource), which is a lot. I went from 41 continues to 31 continues... ouch. And then only a few hours of play later found out I could go back and get missing skills, hah (after you level a lot more tho). Probably still worth it, I never used up all the continues... but OMG I use up those health drinks in fights a LOT. 

    Which Clothing/Buffs to use

    • Upgrade slow but cheaper: If you get the same item over and over, you can combine them (and others) to upgrade a little.
    • Upgrade fast but rarer resources: Using some magic Thread stuff you sometimes get on enemy drops, you can upgrade super fast. But these you'll have to farm a little. 
    • I upgraded once in the middle, when I got all the ninja clothes from Ryu's area. Upgraded them pretty high, was fine for a while. 
    • Best Gear/Near best gear. Near the end of the main storyline, say around level 50-60, you can get the following and upgrade them to max if you want (or one shy of max, b/c some don't really get better from 2nd to max to max, ... double check it before you use up resources)
      • Feet -Western/Cowboy boots. I think I put mine at level 7 (going to 8 was for like one more point, made no sense). 
      • Torso - An ugly brown half Duster jacket type thing with no sleeves. Got to level 8 or 9 I think. 
        • Be sure to go to the clothing settings and change it so it appears as something else. Your eyes will thank me. 
      • Head - some apocalypse looking future mask. Got to level 9 I think. Pretty sure it's the best in the game. 
      • Legs - fighter pants. Super baggy off-white, found in Nayshall somewhere after a big fight i think. Maxed them out to 10 or something... pretty sure these are the best in the game. 
      • Extras - The black "skull" mask. Gives you two one huge damage reduction activations, which will save your bacon when fighting mobs that are "too high level" for you. Also I don't think it has any debuffs, like a lot of extra items. 
      • Extras - bracelets or some item from the chick at the end of the game with the 1/3 white curly hair. She's the one that is involved in "the bomb" and hates JP, etc. near the top of the big mountain. They give you two one "OMG" saves you from killing blows. 
      • Extras - the prisoner(?) or whatever gloves that have Giant chains on them. They increase your damage output greatly if I recall UPDATE yeah I think it's +20 to four attack types (punches, kicks, xxxx, and yyyy). 
      • Extras - the wristwatch from the Retsu guy I think is pretty good... another defensive option if i recall. 

  • Language for playthrough
    • Use Japanese + captions, it feels like an anime and the obviously Japanese movie body language makes more sense, so it's more natural. 
  • Masters
    • You'll want to open up/find/become a student of as many "masters" as you can early on. Pretty darn sure you get EXPerience points for fighting against their style... but only if you have found the Master previously. 
      • Bison ... somehow I was able to use his moves on day 1, but he's not a master you can find. Apparently b/c he was DLC, he's after the entire game is done, and Akuma and maybe ED(?) is unlocked, etc. etc. 
      • *** Don't stick with Bison's style or you'll never level up other masters. 
      • Akuma... I didn't find Ed until I beat the game (aka finished main story mode), while I was looking for something to get a super gift for Akuma that is worth 40 points. (You need 100 points to get their costume). Crazily enough, I've already got Akuma to like 70ish due to using his style and also I had bought some Nato gifts to give him (you get 2 pts for them, but you only get like 1 pt. for other buyable gifts... so Nato it is). 
      • I found Ed and Rashid at the end, after most Akuma stuff.
      • Haven't found Zangief, Cammy (she ran off) yet, Kimberly (she ran off), or  A.K.I. ... she's probably by Bison??. UPDATE on August 28th... found Zangief (two weird wrestler dudes near the 2 ramps of the tournament stadium) and Kimberly(top of a building in Metrocity). 
      • Got Juri after Akuma... she pops back up in Nayshall.
        • her personality is... well, they definitely tried hard. She's a jerk when she becomes your master. 
      • ***Got Jamie super late after Juri after Akuma... I think he was supposed to be the 3rd master. Whoops. He was hiding on some stupid roof... check the mini-map for the names of masters... had no idea he was there after my initial run-in with him. 
      • UPDATE: Well dang, I got Akuma maxed out before I found the Fish hook, still can't find fish hook/shadaloo next stage mission (mostly I can't find the damn subway entrance, other than one that is blocked by an NPC). On to the next one... I got Honda maxed out. Working on Dhalsim. Ryu is kinda close, Jaime is close b/c I got his super present I think and gave it to him. BTW, the super presents seem buggy b/c they just appear in my inventory without any dialogue... is that normal... it definitely was acting funny when I maxed out Honda and did his last mission to get 3 workers for his cooking business, then spoke to them as required... then I thought it was broken, but check inventory, bam, there it was. 

  • Skills

    • You'll get through the 5/5 screens of skills by around level 68. 
      • I ignored most of the "outside of fighting damage/etc." stuff. 
      • I ignored the aerial moves stuff... who needs it? Maybe some specific character.
    • But then, surprise, if you keep playing, they let you go back and get some of the skills you missed... once you get enough points again from fighting. 

  • Leveling up and GIFTS to level the Masters up, general

    • There are two types of leveling. 
      • Fighter style levels... which might max out at 20 to get all the master's skills or something. 
      • Friendship point levels... which goes to 100. They'll randomly go up if you talk to them a lot and keep getting more fighter levels. But to speed it up, give gifts and you can get to 100 kinda quick.
        • Annoyingly, giving buyable gifts is super click intensive... you can't give 20 gifts at once, have to do one at a time. 


    • Speaking of, do your homework on which gifts are good for who. There are many lists out there. Also, buyable/findable gifts are different than the one-time-only-worth-40-point gifts. Most of the super 40 point gifts are done by finishing some "Friendship challenge" or something with another Master. 
      • I got Blanka to 100... but I don't think I've finished or maybe even found whatever friendship challenge mission is there for him.
      • STYLE RANK 18 (or 11, or maybe 20 if all of their moveset is needed) is needed to get the friendship challenge mission whatever to get the super Gift apparently. No clue if I missed Blanka's or what is going on, maybe it's in my inventory and didn't notice. 
      • Once you max out a dude, like Blanka is at 100 friendship points or whatever they call it, now it stores up points to be Transfered to another Master. I overcompensated and was going to use mine for Akuma, but now Akuma is at like 70 and I havent even gotten the Fishing Hook for 40 pts so... saving the extra points for somebody else. 
    • ***Eat blueberry xxxx from delivery app to get extra EXP while fighting

  • Gift Lists... some links... BEST ORDER!~!

    • Some ppl talking, 5 pts, 2 or 1 pts, 40 pts and listing part https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2983874988
    • AKUMA... Nato is the cheapest way to buy gifts for him (2 pts) we think. But Nato is Guile's fav, too. Hilarious, b/c Japan knows Americans generally hate nato, the crazy funked out stuff. They say it is delicious, once you get past the smell. 
    • Double gift lists, including which Master gives the SUPER 40 pt. gift for another master. So you want to do some in a certain order (or skip one you don't care about but then go in that order):
      • https://www.vg247.com/street-fighter-6-gifts-guide-best-gift-special-gift-for-each-master
      • Example order: Honda -> Dhalsim to Guile to Marisa to Zangief to Manon to Juri to Chun to Cammy... back to Honda (circular).
      • Example order: Lily to Blanka to Jamie to Ken to Luke to Deejay to Kimberly... back to Lily (circle). 
      • Ed's is the Old Boxing Almanac. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6zXcUtJcJE
        • https://www.reddit.com/r/StreetFighter/comments/1b1a8kh/gift_for_ed/
        • Trading Card: +5 / Old Boxing Almanac: +40 ---So far, the Trading Card can be earned by one of the specific Mad Gear enemies as a reward (the trio of Fork, Spoon and Knife). The Old Boxing Almanac is a clear reward for completing "The Psycho Power Experiment" in Old Nayshall (Day).
        • Well, Fighter's Magazine Special Issue can easily 2UP it, and its at the shop in the starting point of Beat Square too.
      • Akumas and Ryu's is funky, have to do Retsu. Oh yeah, Retsu is from Street Fighter 1! Hah, they have the funny Ryu red hair reference in a dialogue, I like it. 
      • JP's and Rashid's is some weird side adventure... I guess b/c DLC.
      • Bison... haven't seen his... what is it? BTW, his old outfit looks funky so no need to get it, hah.  https://gamerant.com/street-fighter-6-mbison-location-world-tour-outfit-reward/  
        • https://gamerant.com/sf6-street-fighter-6-best-master-gifts-maximum-bond-outfit-2-unlock/
        • M. Bison, players should beat Dr. Badd's experiment using Bison's style to get the Carrot (+40 pt.), after which, they'll want to farm Globes by beating the Merchant Hawker at the Ruined Lab after landing three Super Arts. Strictly speaking, the latter can be achieved by using one Super Art that hits three or more times, providing at least three of those hits land.
          M. Bison (+5 pt.) wait, they also say GLOBE from defeating the Merchant Hawker, see below.
        • Defeat the Merchant Hawker NPC at the Ruined Lab after landing three Super Arts
          3What? F.A.N.G. is in the game as an NPC, cool. He's got a more serious(?) looking Fu Man Chu moustaches plus chin beard now, instead of his old single chin stripe. FOUND him under the left side of the big concrete ramp thing where you can do more Tournaments in metro city, top left of map. 
    • They say DLC types like Rashid and AKI have good (5pt?) gifts that are random drops. SO you can just use Prepaid cards to get 2 pts each apparently. 

    • Zenny money 

    • seems to pile up, but it gets expensive out there pretty quick. I'd always aim to have $50K to $100K banked up for something. Like potentially...
      • $100K for gifts to level up that one character you want to get the 2nd costume (classic costume) for. 
      • Can get $10K on games (jobs?... like breaking wood blocks or better yet, do the smash junkpile scrapyard thing) when you are like level 50-60
      • Can get $15K on games (smash junkpile scrapyard on hardest... and this might be after I picked the SKILL to give you more $$$ for sidejobs) when you are around level 60-65 and have basically beaten the game.
        • *** eat Corn Flex from delivery app, it'll let you level up Zennies faster!
      • This gives prices before and after you pick the Haggler/cheaper vendor skill: https://gamerant.com/sf6-street-fighter-6-best-master-gifts-maximum-bond-outfit-2-unlock/
