One of these isStreet Fighter 6’s new gameplay features, which is known as the “Drive” system according to the post. This new system will allow for experimentation, with five different techniques that can be utilized when the Drive Gauge is filled. These can be used to enhance a player’s offensive or defensive options, which include a Parry that can repel an attack that refills their own gauge, or an Overdrive Art which is similar to EX Special Moves from pastStreet Fighters.
Alongside these new techniques is a new way for players to learn the mechanics ofStreet Fighter 6. This includes a “Classic” and “Modern” control scheme available for gamers to try. The classic control scheme retains the six-button layout that most veteran fans expect, with the same fighting game inputs from past games. The new Modern control scheme allows for easier inputs, with one button being dedicated to the Special moves, and different directional inputs allowing for specials to be used. The post notes that this control type is perfect for new players or those who struggle with classic command inputs from previousStreet Fightergames.
The final note left for fans on this blog post are the two new modes that were showcased inStreet Fighter 6’s trailer, World Tour and Battle Hub. World Tour is described as the game’s single-player mode, where players will use an avatar character to explore the world of Metro City. The Battle Hub on the other hand is promised to be a place that will feature more than just online matches, with more details about both of these modes going to be revealed in the future.
Street Fighter 6will launch in 2023 for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
