Street Fighter 6 has several luminaries in its cast. Luke is a local teacher that aids neophytes in joining the world of street fighting. Chun-Li is similarly an omnipresent sensei and “big sister”. Kimberly and Lily are both teenage heroines that battle for the side of good (for different reasons) against a seemingly omnipresent evil. Even traditionally “plot irrelevant” characters like Ken Masters have arcs to fight back against JP, the antagonist of this entry. There is a wealth of choices for the main protagonist of Street Fighter 6.
But only one street fighter can say that she…
- Trained with an entire game’s worth of fighters.
- Fought nearly every breathing adult in Metro City.
- Accidentally joined at least one Metro City gang.
- Recruited an entire team of fighters from said gang.
- Then beat up leaders and members of every other gang.
- Acquired a “rival” almost instantly upon first contact.
- Saved said rival from almost certain inconvenience thanks to purse snatching.
- Watched helplessly as said rival was dragged away by noted pajama bandit, Juri.
- Worked closely with Li-Fen, the expert hacker that starred(ish) in Street Fighter 5.
- Became a construction worker, scientist, and food deliverer in pursuit of nebulous goals.
- Defeated the Fighter Hunter.
- Defeated the powerhouse Rewancha.
- Defeated some guy dressed as an appetizer.
- Defeated living science experiments that were likely Secret Society escapees.
- Defeated the Vagrant Fridge.
- Won a fighting tournament in Metro City.
- Won a fighting tournament in Nayshall.
- Almost won a second fighting tournament in Nayshall (but her opponent was totally cheating)
- Saved small children from a failed assassination attempt on main villain, JP. That probably made international news or something.
- And then defeated JP in single combat.
So it is clear there is only one protagonist:
Beef Not Afraid. The only true heroine of Street Fighter 6.
