Gameplay

Street Fighter 6 features three overarching game modes: Fighting Ground, World Tour, and Battle Hub.[1] Fighting Ground contains local and online versus battles as well as training and arcade modes, all featuring similar 2D fighting gameplay to the previous games in the series, in which two fighters use a variety of attacks and special abilities to knock out their opponent. World Tour is a single-player story mode featuring a customizable player avatar exploring 3D environments with action-adventure gameplay. Battle Hub acts as an online lobby mode, with other features set to be revealed in the future.[1]

The main fighting gameplay of Street Fighter 6 is based around the Drive Gauge, a system designed to encourage player creativity. The gauge can be used for five different techniques, requiring players to choose which to prioritize. and Climax Combo is a based on Ultra Combo from Street Fighter IV and Critical Arts from Street Fighter V.Most of the Drive Gauge's mechanics are based on previously existing mechanics from previous Street Fighter mainline games, such as Parry, Focus Attack, EX move .etc.[1] The game features two control types: the "classic" control scheme has a six-button layout that functions similarly to previous entries, while the "modern" control scheme assigns special moves to a single button combined with a directional input.[1]

The use of multiple super combos returns from Street Fighter Alpha sub-series, counting Ultra Combo W variant from Ultra Street Fighter IV. However, each characters only have three super combos based on their respective level gauge, such as Ryu's Shinku Hadoken, Shin Hashogeki and Shin Shoryuken can only be used at Level 1, 2 and 3 respectively.[2]
