In days that both Street Fighter V and IV are still hot in the eSport community, Capcom definitely have shown us that it's ready for what's next for its iconic fighting game franchise and this is what's new with Street Fighter 6.

On State Of Play, Capcom finally presented gameplay footage and two new fighters included newcomers Jamie who will be debuting the drunken fighting style on Street Fighter and Kimberly that appeared at the second half of the trailer.

Aside from the presentation, Capcom described the mechanics of the game

With every new Street Fighter comes mechanics you can master to rise to the top. Introducing the Drive System, a gauge you’ll need to manage wisely and one that is ripe with creativity. You can utilize the Drive Gauge to perform five different techniques that can easily enhance your offense or defense.

A Drive Impact is a powerful strike that can absorb an opponent’s incoming attack and can lead to a wall splat. Use Drive Parry to repel your opponent’s attack and refill your Drive Gauge. Cancel out of a Drive Parry or normal attack into a Drive Rush to quickly close in on your opponent. Overdrive Arts are similar to EX Moves from past games that power up your Special Moves. Use Drive Reversal to perform a counterattack to get you out of tight situations. One gauge, five techniques, unlimited possibilities. Use your creativity to choose which technique to utilize and when. It’s all in your hands!

For those who are worried that fighting game inputs are too complicated and just want to unleash your inner fighter, we have a solution in the form of a new control type option.

First off, Classic Control Type is what veterans can expect to use for inputs with its six-button layout.

New to Street Fighter 6 is the Modern Control Type, which allows for easier inputs where a special move can be performed by combining the “Special Move” button with one directional input. This is perfect for newer players or those who may have found classic command inputs a bit too difficult in the past.

With the Modern Control Type, your character will perform some of their flashiest (and best) attacks with just a few button presses. Modern Control Type is optional, but we highly recommend new players give it a try!

It was hard not to notice that probably an open world mode with a custom character will bring some social functions within players around the world but this remains pending for more details from Capcom.

For those who are resisting the new current gen like me, should be glad that Street Fighter 6 will be coming to Playstation 4 and Xbox One along with PS5, Xbox Series S/X and PC next year.
