Buying gifts for any superfan will always turn up tons of search results, some of them great and some of them junk. Buying the best gifts for a Street Fighter 6 fan can be daunting simply because of how much rubbish there is out there.
A selection of the best Street Fighter 6 gift ideas
The Street Fighter franchise has been out for longer than most people have actually been playing games. It started way back in the days of penny arcades and lives on now, just as strong as ever in people’s consoles. This means that there is a huge wealth of merch and gifts for any Street Fighter 6 fans. However, this is a selection of what I consider to be the best.
Street Fighter Arcade Cabinet
If you really love your Street Fighter 6 fan, then splash out on this exceptional and expensive gift. Street Fighter was born in the arcade cabinets, and to own one is something truly special.
This arcade cabinet comes with more than just a number of Street Fighter games; it also comes packed with 14 other amazing classics from Capcom. The cabinet brings back the original glory of joystick multiplayer mayhem. It also contains a leaderboard so you can battle it out for the number one spot.
This is no small gift, but set this one up, and your Street Fighter 6 fan will love you forever. It is the perfect callback to the golden age of arcade games and a noisy but thoughtful gift.
LED Capcom sign
Any fan of the Street Fighter 6 games will probably have the Capcom logo burnt into their retinas. Why not just make the problem worse by buying them the legendary logo to hang on their wall or sit on their bookshelf?
The Capcom sign is synonymous with Street Fighter games and arcades the world over. This makes it the perfect gift for anyone who is a fan of the franchise. Capcom has brought some incredible titles to the industry and arguably changed the gaming world forever.
This Street Fighter gift won’t take up too much space and doesn’t break the bank. However, it is a gift that will light up any fan’s room. Knowing how obsessed Street Fighter 6 fans are, it may be some of the only light they get…
Street Fighter 6 figurine
If you can somehow steer the conversation naturally around to ‘favorite Street Fighter 6 characters,’ you have some good gifts on your hands. Not the most natural of conversation topics, but one that will make buying that festive gift a lot easier.
With every new release, the characters of Street Fighter 6 get better looking. Also, every avid player has their favorite main to play. With the huge array of Street Fighter 6 figurines out there, it is easy to pick them up a model of their in-game sweetheart.
These figurines are often hand-painted and can cost anywhere from tens of dollars to hundreds. Although they may seem like toys, they are often considered to be collector’s items. If you manage to pick up a high-quality one from a reputable artist, they can bring real value to any Street Fighter fan’s collection.
Hadouken Energy Ball
Even people who have never been lucky enough to play Street Fighter probably recognize the Hadouken ball and the scream that goes with it. Why not bring the Hadouken energy ball to life with this floating, clip-on prop gift?
It’s a little goofy for an adult (who am I to judge), but kids will absolutely love this floating clip-on Hadouken ball. With the simple use of an arm strap and a few hidden wires, it now looks like you are firing the famous finisher from your palms.
This great little addition could be used as part of a bigger cosplay outfit or just sported for fun when role-playing Ryu. This gift is one that is instantly recognizable as a Street Fighter 6 reference for people who play and people who don’t.
Street Fighter arcade controller
I have known a few high-level Street Fighter players in my life. Interestingly, a number of them have a funny thing in common. They play fighting games with their controller on their lap. This way, they use the stick and button layout like a classic arcade cabinet.
They say that this is how it is supposed to be played and gives superior control over the characters. So, you can step up any Street Fighter 6 fan’s game by giving them the gift of a replica arcade controller.
These things are no gimmicks, either. If you watch some of the highest-level players in competitions, many of them will opt for a replica Street Fighter controller. They are known to improve the accuracy and button control in the game.
