Street Fighter 6 controls
Want to know how to use the Street Fighter 6 controls? Capcom’s fighting game series is one of the best, if not the best, in the genre, with its six-button layout a familiar sight to fans of the fighting game genre. But even with all the series’ familiar elements returning for Street Fighter 6, there’s been one major change to the controls.
To address the stigma surrounding the series for new players, Street Fighter 6 introduces new control types: Modern and Dynamic. In addition to the classic six-button controls, which offer the familiar joystick-maneuvering control scheme that Street Fighter is known for, modern controls simplify the inputs to make it easier for players to pick up new characters. Dynamic controls are designed for beginners and offer AI assistance so you can jump right into the fun of fighting games without feeling overwhelmed. Here’s everything you need to know about the Street Fighter 6 controls.
Street Fighter 6 controls
There are three control styles in Street Fighter 6:
Before we dive into the specific controls in more detail, here are a few tips on how to play each style:
Classic controls
While the classic controls provide the most fighting options, they also require speed and precision. These controls are a core part of the Street Fighter experience and are still available in Street Fighter 6, so if you’re a veteran, don’t worry – your skills will still be put to use.
Modern controls
Modern controls take inspiration from recent anime fighters and platform fighters like Super Smash Bros. By simplifying the inputs and adding additional directional inputs, modern controls make it easier for players who find the classic controls cumbersome.
Dynamic controls
Dynamic controls are designed for beginners. Although they’re not allowed in online competitive play, they’re a great tool for beginners, and for seasoned players who want to explore new characters. Dynamic controls assist you by performing basic combos, allowing you to easily develop strategies for your character.
