Explained simply
Street Fighter 6 is Capcom’s current entry in a long-running series of one-on-one fighting games. Players choose characters with different moves and compete in matches, while the game also offers single-player activities and an arcade section featuring older Capcom games.
Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix, released in arcades in 1997, is a separate Capcom fighting game with a lighter style and characters drawn in a small, cartoon-like form. It is also known as Pocket Fighter, and has appeared in later collections of classic games.
A Fighting Pass is a set of in-game rewards that players can unlock as they play; it typically has free and paid tiers. Such passes add costumes, music and other customisation options, while the arcade inclusion lets players try the older game within Street Fighter 6.
