Capcom’s Street Fighter 6 has brought in great numbers for the fighting-game franchise. The vast playable roster of 18 characters, plus a bunch of great moves both old and new, has helped the developer deliver yet another hit in recent times. Apart from the standard Arcade mode, the game comes with Battle Hub and World Tour as well.
Essentially, the World Tour mode serves as the campaign, allowing players to create a new character from scratch and take them through the rungs to become the top fighter. This journey works as an RPG, where they can engage in missions to learn from the Masters i.e., the game’s standard roster.
The campaign has its light moments as well, one being the part-time jobs that players can partake in. Not only do these allow players to increase their high scores, akin to classic fighting games, but they can also earn Zenny and train their physical real-life skills. As such, the mini-games serve as a fun take on training mode as well. The currency helps them unlock emotes, and outfits, and buy consumables that they can use in the mode since their health and stamina don’t regenerate automatically. Since these part-time jobs play a key role in Street Fighter 6 World Tour mode, it becomes important to look at their details.
6 KA*RA*TE
This is a pretty simple mini-game that fans can try out any time they want. Essentially, they need to cut the tops off bottles in a horizontal swipe and smash boards in a downward chop. KA can be wrapped up relatively quickly, and offers a few thousand Zenny each time around, even with a score that beginners can achieve fairly easily.
Although this part-time job in Street Fighter 6 is not particularly difficult, it does help players with timing their attacks to a certain extent. Further, since other mini-games can be difficult at times since the basic movesets and actions required are more extensive, KA*RA*TE serves as a good option when gamers aren’t in the mindset for a lot of button mashing.
5 Ball Block Blitz
Ball Block Blitz is perhaps the best part-time job in Street Fighter 6 for players who prefer a defensive, counter-attacking playstyle. It involves them standing in a spot while an NPC throws basketballs at them, and all they need to do is parry them with proper timing. Moreover, another NPC will appear at random and move in to land a hit, which is another "attack" that needs to be parried.
Since the fighting game comes with the Drive Parry mechanic, simply holding down the parry button can get the job done in this mini-game. However, players who wish to improve at the game should go for the Perfect Parry, which will also net them increased points, and hence, a higher amount of Zenny.
4 Scrap Heap
Since part-time jobs in Street Fighter 6 act as a form of training in World Tour mode, Scrap Heap is one of the best ones to partake in. It is perhaps the simplest one in the game, as players need to focus only on the moves, special or otherwise, that they wish to become proficient in.
In this mini-game, they need to hit and destroy a truck as quickly as possible. As such, it helps them figure out which moves are easy to use in the heat of battle, which ones cause the most damage, and which require a longer animation window and can thus be interrupted (or canceled into another attack). As such, they can devise a curated list for themselves, especially after they’ve unlocked all the Masters, and go all in on committing the attacks to memory.
Further, it helps them learn the attacks more since they don’t need to focus on defense. As Scrap Heap is fairly easy to execute and provides a lot of Zenny, it is one of the best mini-games to focus on in Street Fighter 6’s World Tour mode.
3 Kung Fu Target
A simple part-time job in concept and execution, Kung Fu Target brings back quite a bit of nostalgia for jumping around for the community to do. In this mini-game, there are four NPCs on each corner of the screen holding up boards that gamers need to kick and destroy. Since the two boards above are at a height, flying kicks will be added to a player's repertoire.
Essentially, they need to shuffle between the left and right sides and mix up standard and flying kicks to destroy the boards. As the difficulty level increases, the material will change and they will need to land multiple hits before a board breaks.
This is one of the best part-time jobs in Street Fighter 6 as their movement skills and judgment of how much distance to dash forward and initiate the attack will improve. Since a good strategy involves avoiding attacks in the first place and then countering, this mini-game will also help them improve their aerial defense and combat.
2 Scrap Heap 2
Scrap Heap 2 is a “special variant” of the standard Street Fighter 6 part-time job and can be started by speaking to Scrap Factory Mouse in Old Nayshall in the Lowlands area. It gets unlocked after players complete Resisting, Nayshall Style mission in Chapter 10, and is only available during the daytime.
What makes this mini-game different from the normal one is that there are two smaller vehicles on either side, instead of one big truck in the right corner. This will again help players get down hard-hitting moves that will help them move from one end to another and cause serious damage. Those observing more keenly will note that they can also go to one side and push the two rides into each other, which will let them practice moves against one corner, similar to Scrap Heap.
1 Hado Pizza
Perhaps the best part-time job in Street Fighter 6, Hado Pizza lets players go to town on their controls. The objective is pretty simple: tap the buttons that come on the screen to create a pizza. Although the idea isn’t novel, it works quite well in Capcom’s latest fighting game.
Since most of the player base relies on button-mashing instead of precise inputs, this mini-game will help them build muscle memory of their attacks and enhance their reflexes. Since fights depend on countering opponents in the microseconds-long window, developing fast hand-eye coordination is crucial. Hence, Hado Pizza is best as it can train reflexes and create a delicious-looking pizza at the same time.
Street Fighter 6 is available now on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
