So it's probably safe to assume that Flash Kick simplified will still require you to hold down for a few moments to use too.

If you try pressing the button early, you only get the neutral special. Sajam also stated that he tested Chun-Li's Kikoken in the Modern controls, and you still had to hold back to charge before using the special. The Nintendo 3DS version of Street Fighter 4 was somewhat infamous for letting world warriors like Guile use Sonic Booms and Flash Kicks at any time without needing to charge first, but that mistake apparently won't be repeated in SF6. People at the play test event like Sajam have confirmed that Ryu is apparently unable to perform his Hashogeki and Denjin Charge specials using the Modern controls.Įven if you know the motion input for how to use them normally, the game will only allow you to do the simple specials. If your character has any more than that, they'll be missing out on some of those too. It goes farther than that though considering this option only currently allows for 4 special moves to be mapped to the layout too.

Sure, getting access to a Dragon Punch just by pressing forward+triangle is good, but you're also giving up nearly half of your total tools to get that.Īs was previously revealed on SF6's website, the Modern controls consolidate a character's 6 basic normals into only 3 between light, medium and heavy attacks, so that's half of your punches and / or kicks gone right there. What we've basically come to find, however, is that these simpler options will serve as training wheels for those just jumping into the game and not much more. Some of the big concerns following the original reveal were that having one-button specials like Shoryuken could be too powerful, especially if it's possible to do instant charge moves like Sonic Booms.

Street fighter, is -6 safe
