Arc System Works' combat brilliance is buried under a PC port Sony left half-finished — wait for the DRM and netcode fixes before buying.

Still the best fighting game to learn on, but the $40 box is a fraction of what the complete roster costs.

Key differences

Content depth
Marvel Tokon's 2-hour main story and limited single-player content offer little outside the arcade-style fighting.
Street Fighter 6's three modes — Fighting Ground, World Tour, and Battle Hub — provide a hundred hours of content before DLC.
Online stability
Marvel Tokon's online is marred by netcode issues and a 48% positive Steam rating, with 3 patches in 90 days.
Street Fighter 6's rollback netcode and crossplay offer the strongest online experience the series has had.
Learning curve
Marvel Tokon's anime-style combos from Arc System Works appeal to players familiar with Guilty Gear Strive's mechanics.
Street Fighter 6's layered tutorials, per-character guides, and Modern controls provide the genre's most thorough on-ramp.

Which one is for you?

Pick Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls if

  • You loved Guilty Gear Strive and want a Marvel skin on that combo system.
  • You're a die-hard Marvel fan who can overlook PC jank for exclusive content.
  • You have a console, since the PC port's DRM and netcode issues are unresolved.

Pick Street Fighter 6 if

  • You're new to fighting games and want the best tutorials and learning tools.
  • Online play with rollback netcode and crossplay is your priority.
  • You want a game that works well on PC from day one without crash issues.

Bottom line

If you're patient with technical problems and love anime-style combat, Marvel Tokon might appeal, but given its 48% review score and 2-hour story, wait for fixes. Otherwise, Street Fighter 6 at $18.26 is a safer, more complete choice.
