As revealed previously, the upcoming Street Fighter 6 will have Classic Controls, which divides light, meidum, and heavy kicks and punches like early entries in the franchise, and Modern Controls, which simplifies it with light, medium, and heavy attacks instead.
Now, we have learned that there is a 3rd control scheme, and itβs Dynamic Controls. Essentially, buttons will be labeled with auto-attacks, and the gameβs AI will dynamically decide which attacks to do for you based on your character position in relation to your opponent.
If youβre far from the opponent, your character would throw a projectile like a Hadouken but if youβre near, you would throw a melee attack like a Shoryuken. While there is no word on exactly how much it will vary, especially with combos, itβs certainly a control scheme that would benefit button mashers.
According to game director Takayuki Nakayama, the Dynamic Control scheme for Street Fighter 6 was designed for beginners and those who just want to play the game for fun. It will also only be available for local play, so you canβt use this for online play, likely to avoid unfair play in the competitive scene.
Street Fighter 6 will be launching for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, and PC sometime in 2023.
Pokdepinion: I personally feel that itβs a great move by Capcom so you get more people to dip their toes in the game. Itβs also a way to let people know what they can pull off if they try to learn a bit more about the game.
