To answer your questions yes. Instant super even at a slight damage nerf is important. Let’s take for example Luke’s Anti air options. If cHp, jMp and DP are compared. DP still should give better Oki than the other 2 situations. The problem a lot of people face at the mid level is, with mental stack, reacting to a jump in and imputing f,d,df is jarring to then. Having a 1 button DP aliviates this. Additionally let’s consider fireball wars. Let’s say you know the ex is coming and as checkmate you want to super the opponent. 1 button super reduces the chance of human error vs that of classic input. To say which is “better” though will come down to time and results

It takes hours, days, months, to get your execution to the point where you can do it without thinking about it, and it's when you get at that point that you... well... become a beginner player and start learning match ups. It's just too much to ask for new players. Modern will most certainly remove that barrier and help people get into the good stuff much faster. And if you're serious about the game, you can drop that crutch at any time and learn Classic mode. Or stay with modern, trading damage and options for consistency and (possibly) faster reactions. I think this is brilliant and it will certainly encourage more people to give fighting games a try.

The problem with modern control right now is that it has some broken mechanics that make it stronger than classic controls. The 1input execution for special/super/ca/360 moves means all your moves comes out in 1 frame. That is broken, because in classic control you need 3 inputs for a fire ball, and even if you execute it perfectly, it takes 3 frames before the move is registered. It takes even long if it were super or 360 moves because it requires even more inputs. On top of that, people already discovered fucking option selects and auto hit confirms on modern controls. I have no problem with modern control helping new players learn, but its a huge problem when you see pros saying they are going to use modern controls for the competitive scene because it has a massive advantage over classic control.

I'm a beginner at traditional fighters, and the idea of modern controls is something I support wholeheartedly. Contemporary and future IPs should definitely strive to make their controls streamlined/intuitive (especially for standard controllers), and I'm glad games such as Project L are going in that direction. It makes me want to stick with Modern on Pad merely out of support for Capcom's decision. With that said, I want to dive hard into SF6. I'm going to stick with Classic because I do own an arcade stick and I want to experience the game how long-time players have experienced the series, and develop the skillset that comes with motion controls.

I think this is also the intention and it's pretty smart if it works out well. The single player campaign will even have minigames that trick you into learning motion inputs for those who might want to eventually switch to classic. I personally think the idea that modern controls will overtake classic at the competitive level is an overreaction because the lower damage is a big deal. It means you'll have to win neutral more and your opponent has to respect your neutral less because your options are less threatening. You may even be missing important normals for neutral or combo extensions. None of this matters for new players though and I think it'll be a great way for them to get started and either enjoy the game with modern or decide to get more out of the game with classic.

While it is good for helping new players to get into fighting games, it is also broken in competitive play. 1button special or super moves are fine, but because its 1 input, it means it takes 1 frame to execute the move. In classic control to do a fireball, you will need to do down, down + forward, forward + punch, which takes 3 frames to execute if you execute perfectly. For other moves like uppercut that goes through neutral it will take more than 3 frames, not to mention you can't do clean and perfect execution all the time and you will get wasted frames. Then there are super, CA and 360 moves that requires much more inputs but are still 1 frame in modern controls. And then people already discovered auto hit confirms and auto option select unique to modern controls. Pros are already talking about using modern controls competitively. If modern controls is to only help newbies learn, they should not get such broken advantage. Capcom should take away auto hit confirms and auto select, and add startup delay on special moves to match the classic counterpart. For example, a fireball on modern control should have 2 frame startup delay on top of the 1 frame execution to match classic control's perfect input time. Modern control will still be consistently faster since it won't always be perfect input with classic controls but at least it much fairer.

Pretty good video, but here is the finality of the situation... There is a casual audience that will be getting into fighting games for the first time, they would not and will not exist without this control scheme, they don't care about getting better and they honestly don't want to get better, like Smash Bros they just want to sit down and pummel on something or beat up their friends, they also make up the majority of sales (like it or not old heads, we keep the community going after they're gone but they are the reason the game gets made.) So it's neither here nor there, we know classic does slightly more damage and the set ups and combo strings are endless and sky high as far as skill cap goes, but modern has to exist and should've before this in order to get as healthy of a player base as possible for as long as possible, we had Simple Mode in MVC/UMVC3 and that brought players in and this is the obvious evolution of that system.

Well said man. I’ve been playing sf for over 20 years and I think modern is great. The people playing casually are just as important to the games life span as anyone else. If modern controls welcomes and keeps new players then I am all for it, if it doesn’t it literally doesn’t effect my experience at all so I see it as a win-win

As a new player I see modern controls as a taste of what is possible. After all, I think it's really cool to be able to strategise and think while not focusing on how to actually do what you want to do. Modern controls provide a shortcut to demo version of that. Now, I try to learn classic controls for the character I picked using modern.

Also, where is that song from around 10:06 ? I know I played the game and can't remember lol

Good video. I think the toughest part as a classic control veteran would be the normals thing. Some people are pushing modern mode as something super viable because of the 11F Diego whiff punishes, but who cares if I lose vital normals for damage and neutral? As someone that literally plays SF because of the 6 button normals it wouldn't be for me.

The modern controls also really help with world tour. It's too early to say for sure, but I don't think either would work on their own as far as appealing to non-fg players. The two combined seem like they'll lead to a fun, low stress/commitment experience for anyone.

Nice video, I'll be keeping an eye on your channel! As a suggestion, I would hope some of the serious examples and comparisons can stay on the screen a bit longer if you dive more into the gameplay stuff in the future! Subbed.

Dynamic remove so much that if you are in the corner and knocked down, ur only wake up option is drive impact, otherwise u will have to block cuz u don't have ex dp, u don't have fast jab, opponent is a bit away, you don't get throw on wake up

I think that you could reason using classic input while extending combos, and for some, they'll just adapt to using the macro system to get those normal's back. It'll definitely be viable. At the cost of damage potential, but characters like Zangief for instance. Will most likely suffer minimal loss on that front. I think it's a pretty easy trade off. I think the people that modern controls will hurt the most are the gold-diamond players. They'll really have to stay aware of their positioning. Because being able to whiff with an instant super is definitely over powered. If not broken at that level.

This is exactly what i thought of modern controls. The instant super for less damage i think is something many pro players would have exchanged for. But the normals that you lose with some characters is a big loss. For an example ryu loses his crouching light punch he wouldn't be able to punish -3 buttons and losing back heavy punch you lose a solid anti air and a combo extender. I think it would depend on the character and which normals the lose wich will make some characters better with modern compared to controled.

Stumbled across your videos while researching hit boxes for sf6, I like your style and looking forward to seeing how your fighting game journey progresses 👊

Today, you have taken yet another step towards being less unknown.

I think it is important to understand modern control is more in line with how other games work. In Elden Ring I don't have to press 3 different buttons to do my full 3 normal swing combo. I just press R1 3 times. I want to do my "special" (aka spell or weapon art) I don't need a motion input I just press 1 button. Modern control penalizes you with some damage loss, and it takes away full control short of doing the classic inputs. That is the drawback, and that is why Capcom has made it clear Modern is allowed in ranked and actual events.... including Capcom Cup. It also makes the game hugely more approachable for special needs players who might have a damage to hands or finger, or arthritis etc. Accessibility matters. I would also say beating level 8 CPU at all seems hard regardless of the control style you use. Tons of videos out there of multiple pro's (many who did participate in the beta's) still getting washed and having to learn/make adjustment to beat level 8 classic control or otherwise. Of course this is all moot if you use Dynamic then you just stand still and spam 1 button and destroy level 8 like a joke. Fortunately Dynamic is not allowed in any online matches, much less actual events lol.

In modern you can do Drive rush Auto+Medium, Down Heavy 214M perfect, 214L Perfect, 214H. For Drive loops I only know Auto+Heavy into Drive cancel Auto+Medium, Down Heavy into Drive cancel. Also the reason why would someone not play on classic despite doing the actual inputs is because you frame one specials like anti airs or supers. Modern control might restrict you from some normals and specials but it isn't a bad trade off when you aren't even going to use them

Ive been playing since SF1 in arcades, I am pretty decent but execution has always held me back. Ryu was never really an option for me as I could never reliably anti air DP on reaction to a jump in. With modern controls, its easier to hit f+SP, or even d+SP+HP for level 3 as an anti air on reaction. This alone changes the game IMO, it frees your mind to focus on gamesense/footsies without worrying about getting the execution/inputs when you need them. I mainly play grapplers as their execution is normally less intense for small combos/tap grabs etc, but even Zangief will benefit from MC. I can spam SPD much easier when its one button rather then wrecking my dpad with 360s. Also dash up/rush dash into SPD/Level 3 grab will be so much easier. Or if its to punish a missed DP or something, I can manually 360 into SPD/Level 3 for full damage. Of course we lose normals etc from using MC, but you just adapt and change the b&bs to be most efficient you can get from MC. But also mixing in manual motions when its easy to do so to not get the damage nerf. I cant wait to mess around with grapplers and MC.

will pick it up because of modern controls honestly. in umvc3 i was using simple mode and won against a local tournament player it took me 10 matches but i still got a win on him and i wasn't even aware of some of the techs back then at least not to the extent i am now.

i rlly dont know why i can use the med punch in modern controls

I'm new to it and tried the modern and classic. I can't even do the supers with the controller on classic setting. Why can't they make it more simple to 2 or 3 directional tops per special? 6 directionals is so unnecessary.

So confirming no damage penalty if you do the move normally

Modern control reminded me a lot of Fantasy Strike & let’s me focus more on spacing and punishing than just rushing down with combos and prevents close-up-button-mashing. I like it for what it is, because things like spamming specials and mashing really holds new players back from learning crucial fundamentals. And they are supposed to be inferior to incentivize players to eventually switch to classic. Great call in my opinion.

I used to lose almost every match. Not a fighting game player, but i wanted to play SF6. I had two big win streak using Modern Controls (12 & 9) when in SFV, i couldnt win two in a row. I enjoy the game so much more, i can focus on what is going on and not miss everything. As a casual player who doesnt have the time to practice countless hours to learn everything, im glad they added Modern Controls.

Maybe using the same idea as pressing a direction and a button to change the move like the heavy buttons would be a good idea so that players still have those options if they wanted then

Something I think if funny is that when you’re playing against someone in sf6, it shows what controls they’re using You get a label out on you for using the easy controls.

I like the idea but I feel like it will just breed really bad habits in newer players. It will be really character dependant.

I love the new modern controls even if I know I'll never use them. I like the difficulty of learning combos on classic. But my family and friends can now play the game and learn very little to have fun.... that being said .... im afraid of gief even more now .... a dash and a near instant command grab ....

Modern and Classic attracts different kinds of people, Classic control players (myself included) find it more enjoyable and satisfying to land combos and sit it training for hours to try and get that one perfect combo. Modern control players are more laid back and don't really wanna sweat their hands off doing a a hard to hit combo that doesn't really do much damage other than it looking good. Fighting games were never really hard to begin with it's a bad stigma made by people who are intimidated by fighting controls since it's so vastly different from other games as to how they control but Classic controls definitely gives the illusion that the game mechanic is changed for the newer players when in reality it's the exact same. I'd say if you loose to modern control players it's definitely your own fault

As someone who's lost many matches at bronze level because I suck at execution and can't dedicate the time needed to build up the muscle memory and confidence to execute simple bnb in a match modern controls has doubled my win rate as I now have access to way more options that would take hours to unlock. There are many casuals that bail after playing hundreds of matches and see their win rate as less than 30% then give up before they get anywhere near the real fun.

What did I learn from the closed beta? I'll use the classic control, as always. But some characters improved a lot using the modern controller. My Guile has improved by 300%. The less damage makes no difference if the opponent can't hit you. If you hit the enemy first you can drain some life from him and watch him despair as time passes, causing him to make even more mistakes. Some characters will have better normals than others in the modern controller, so, just like in the classic controller, where we have to scout(search) the characters that we are better at, this same search should happen in the modern controller. In modern control you gain advantages and disadvantages. It won't work for all characters, but it can be quite fun for some of them.

I am going to assume you are asking if there are combos that go on for long and seem to repeat themselves, or if there are combos that don't end. The former is called loops. The latter is called infinites. There are loops in this game, but they take a lot of resources. They cannot be abused the entire game, so you will rarely see it and often the enemy will be at a disadvantage for doing them. Infinites are typically removed as they are found. If one gets created, do not worry about it being abused in your experience, it will be gone before you know it.

Im not sure if I am gonna get the game so I don't wanna put a bunch of time into learning the classic controls and doing combos on classic ,so modern is a good thing just for me to play the game and get a feel for it. If I do get the game I will definitely go to the classic mode

As someone plays mortal kombat and street fighter and I like to consider myself a fighting game veteran at this point. (Honda main on modern btw) classic controls require too much what feels like button mashing my D-pad and the inputs required are just too much for the time i have to combo the guy while hes still venerable I have to input a insane amount of controls in such a short amount of time however I do think that its fair that modern doesnt do as much damage but I can still beat other people online if I know what im doing so I'm glad that option is in the game

I can only do a quarter circle and a few charge inputs. Modern helps a ton.

I think this would be awesome for just a playthrough on world tour to make it feel like a BEATEM up

I think modern controls is a huge benefit for those who play strictly neutral or keyboard/hitbox style controllers. As someone who focuses on only reacting, reading, and poking my opponent, having a combo that's automatically inputted does way more than what I would normally do. Plus, I would rather take a 20% damage nerf than to misinput a DP when I wanted to throw a fireball simply because I was holding forward before inputting QCF.

@straivalist8281

10 ай бұрын

Nah there is no benefit like that, it just purely depends on the person. I play on hitbox and I've tried modern for over 20+ hours, it's definitely great but doesn't improve my reaction speed or anything. I noticed the same thing I did normally it's just less buttons I had to press down but that didn't result in my mind being less distracted at all. It's mainly just practice the more you practice with classic the less misinputs you do as it's engraved into your muscle memory. I remember when I first started out I always used to do a DP by complete accident when I wanted to throw a fireball but later on it became engraved into my muscle memory to stop for a bit before throwing a fireball. Modern controls are simply for players who wanna get into the game quickly at a decent level without needing to invest time to fully understand the game's mechanics which is amazing since it's the reason the game is incredibly popular rn

I'm so happy about this. This balancing reminds me of DragonBall's; high-level play gets what they want, people that don't want to invest get what they want. I LOVE this game.

When u say damage penalty there is compared to primal at least for supers not sure if u know now but just a heads up

Tbh, I think modern controls will be decent on grapplers and dedicated zoners. For the former, their tools in often already exist as special inputs, so giving them easier access to them can be a buff. Then again, it wouldn't surprise me if you lost access to special/command tick throws by using modern, so I may be wrong. Zoners, on the other hand, seem hardly nerfed on modern. Their gameplan is basically a flowchart already: play keep away with projectiles and punish jump-ins/rush-down with DPs or other appropriate responses. Giving them access to a reaction super basically means that on a life-lead and good gamesense, they can run-away with a game. After all, punishing a zoner often relies on forcing them to make mistakes. A simpler system makes this gameplan much harder to carry out on them.

Great video, T !

Yeah I was hoping modern controls would a viable alternative to classic, not some sort of weird training wheels. After many hours of practice I still struggle with special imputs sometimes, especially in clutch situations. It just feels like an outdated system from when controllers had like 4 buttons. I guess many grew up with it but I don't get the appeal, for me the game itself should be hard to master, not the controls. But what's the point in using normal mode if I still need to use classic at higher levels?

@straivalist8281

10 ай бұрын

Definitely disagree. There are tons of players who reached masters with classic controls(including myself though I still prefer classic as it's more satisfying to land). It's completely a different control setup rather than a "stepping stone" If you fully understand the classic control layout you can easily beat high level players granted with practice like with classic. The way SF designed this is to be an alternative to classic directly. It's clear it was not done with the sole purpose of guiding players to classic later on. It genuinely is just an alternative option players can take

rofl that FLOWCHART is how i got Ken to gold

I’m a Jin main in Tekken, and I’ve played Dragon Ball FighterZ, but I struggled a lot getting back into SF. And I was 12 when I last picked it up. I tried to play classic like it was Tekken, but the lowered forward momentum isn’t it for me. Modern feels closer to FighterZ, which is my only point of reference for a good 2D fighter, and now I’m getting the hang of it. I’d like to switch back to classic at some point, especially after seeing that cross-up on Chun-Li. It’s just a grueling game to see what juggles into what while I play footsies.

I agree in most thing you've said. I have two personal notes on the matter, so here are my two cents: 1. Modern is fine and fun, I play classic against a Modern friend, and it was the first time she enjoyed fighting games. Eventually she got better and started doing the mind games and adapt. She is now buying the game. Regarding attracting new players I can say it works. 2. I still think that a auto combo button is too much. There is no such thing as too much acessibility, but my friend (the same from before), felt it encourage her to mashing, and it maybe show the wrong idea about what fighting games are. It is a note to take, maybe making the auto combo less effective, maybe shorter and let the player do some longer strings by their own it would be great. Anyway, sorry for the big text and if I repeated/misunderstood anything you said, couldn't watch the whole video on a single sitting

Here’s how I’ve been using the controls as a someone who just started trying to “git gud” at fighting games in the last four months (essay incoming): The timing on combos feels much more strict in SF6 than any other fighting game I’ve played (SFA3, T7, GGST, GGAC+R, GGXrd, Darkstalkers 3) except for SF4. I did a couple hours on the classic controls but the timing for links and specials cancels were very inconsistent. Saw a Diaphone stream where he mentioned that ppl were sleeping on modern controls and figured I’d give them a shot. Playing with modern controls I improved MUCH faster. The demo gives limited options for training mode but modern controls have helped turn my 10-14 touch wins into 6-8 touch wins. I still do motion inputs but having the option to use the special button has been incredibly helpful when trying to use specials in combos. And guess what I found. After a couple of hours of modern controls, I switched back to classic to compare how it felt to modern controls and I was better at the classic controls. My special cancels are still incredibly inconsistent but I was able to link normals together much better. I think if you’re a new player, there’s really no reason to use classic (at first) other than swag points. Modern controls help you learn to crawl, and then walk. Switching to classic later on will feel easier as a newbie once you have the mental side of the game down. The freedom of moves offered by classic is less likely to affect a new player because all the average, non competitive player needs to know is a poke or two, a whiff punish, an anti-air, and one or two very basic combos. I’ve heard that some characters are much worse with modern controls (i.e. Chun-Li) but the games not out yet. A lot of my friends who are really resistant to playing fighting games got really excited when I told them about modern controls. I think it’s going to be a game changer for fighting games. And to the people doomsaying abt classic being worthless because of instant DP, y’know is grapplers are always considered broken on launch? I have a feeling modern controls are going to follow a similar route, feeling broken at first, before being revealed to be actually pretty balanced.

@@thatDoubleT absolutely agree there. i think a lot of the discourse on it has gotten pretty polarized, when really we just need the game to be out for a few weeks before anything concrete can be determined. really enjoyed your video, especially your levelheaded approach. Also do you watch Alpharad by chance? You use the same song from Undertale during your likesharesubscribe cta as he does.

I'd rather play modern controls because of the Convenience. Personally I didn't like studying those damn inputs for hours on end like it was homework especially for someone who just wants to play casually and be at least decent as well. Personally doesn't bother me at all I'll still play classic too but I'm not angry because they want new players to at least have fun playing their game.

Tbh even though i love Street Fighter because SF2 was my first Fighting game ever, i always preffered the Light, medium, heavy system of games like Blazeblue, DBFZ, DNF duel or UMVC3 over the six button System of Street Fighter and thats the one and only reason i will play Modern Controls. So my only wish left for SF7 will be chain combos instead of links, not gonna happen but let me dream^^

The problem with SF is that all the damn special attack imputs REQUIRES at least a quarter circle imput, or the unintuitive Shoriuken like ones, which to me are so damn weird to execute. And this is coming from someone who tends to spam a quarter circle vertical move in Soulcalibur VI but hey, that is ONE attack that requires such imput, the others are either just one directional imput, maybe two and like you can perfectly win with just using moves that barely requires you to push up to 3 buttons max. SF however DEMANDS you that you master at least 4 buttons (By this I mean 3 directionals + 1 attack one) to just use a damn hadoken, so as you can imagine, someone that even tried a fighter like could be Smash (Questionable if that genre classifies as a fighter) or Soulcalibur that has a lot more simplified imputs or even an absolute noob having to imput the absurdities that SF asks you.... Mate is simply not something so easy to do. I remember playing on World Tour, noticing that imputing the classic moves gave more damage and that I could do quarter circle forwards so I can spam SandBlasts, and at some point my imputs kept getting missregistered. My character more often than not either did a forward kick or a crouch kick instead of SandBlast, and if you abuse that move enough in your playstyle you end up pretty much requiring to assign that move into the modern controls brackets to be able to spam them knowing that your character would surely output the move youre asking them to do. And like I said, that's cause Im fairly used to imput a quarter circle forward + attack button from my main in SC VI but hey, while I do that move frequently, is not ALL the time. I do have other special moves that require way simplier buttons, so you could say that the 236B imput that that attack requires is among the hardest to imput in SC VI while in SF6 a 236L/M/H-P or 236L/M/H-K would probably be among the easiest. That change is reason enough for people to stick to modern controls. Cause another thing is that SF has 6 attack buttons too (3 punches, 3 kicks) while SC VI only has 4, being the 4th a dedicated guard/block button, which SF lacks, forcing you to backwalk or crouch backwalk. I would say that SF pretty much REQUIRED to have a tool like Modern controls simply to stay relevant as a game, specially when betting with something like World Tour.

Im an oll school gamer, for me modern control is perfect, since i never had 3000 buttons for 5000 different moves, we had, a few. Does it limit my game, yes, but it relies on that i read the opponent and not focus on my own game.

As a person who’s never played a street fighter game but has played other fighting games such as fighterz and MK I don’t like modern controls due to the lack of control and combo crafting there is because of how restricted it is. However I also very much dislike the classic controls at the same time, mainly because of how the special system is done. I don’t have a fight stick and double quarter circles feel god awful on a controllers joystick. I also feel like some of the inputs in classic controls could be simplified like they are in modern. I just wish there was an option to edit and alter your control style to make a healthy mix of the 2 so I could have the combo ability of classic with the simplicity of modern. But at the same time I can’t test it out too much because the game crashes my computer whenever I match against a player 🙃

I think the only problem with modern is going to be the hit confirms and frame 1 supers people will do. Being ready for hit confirms for combos was something that just came with doing many matches. Now I could just pick modern and have the game do it for me. Even at higher levels you wont see people doing frame 1 super. Thats something you only see a max lvl cpu do. Footsies is going to be so risky if your fighting a high lvl modern player. 20% dmg reduction wont matter if they check you with that increase to reaction time. Just forget about them dropping combos because the game will make sure they wont. High lvl is where I see the problem at. Low lvls will most likely not have players that would abuse that.

Wait a minute...you lose standing HK with modern? Whoa, nah thats too much to give up.

Playing the Open Beta as a Street Fighter novice (but an experienced Tekken 7 player), feel like it really comes down to character knowledge and fundamentals. Picked up Guile first time using classic controls and did very well. I mainly lost to people like classic Ryu who knew the combos/punishments or modern Kimberly because I didn’t know the matchup at all. Modern players did seem to rely on hitting the same moves over and over again and didn’t know how to counter grabs or punish certain moves. I have a lot to improve on as well, but I think we shouldn’t base everything off of 3 days of actual online gameplay. Maybe a month or two will show more viable data.

I feel they have enough limitations on this Modern controls to make it balanced, any more freedom and this would have been broken.

The ONLY difference for someone that can play, will be the ability to raw super with no frames given to performing the input. Everything else is irrelevant because of no scaling on manual inputs. Whether that is worth giving up normals for will depend on character and the specific normals that you lose. Modern will either be irrelevant or a huge problem, don’t know which yet

Classic is for advanced players who knows about cross-ups, footsies, spam-tactics etc.

I've been playing modern all beta, in my opinion they shouldn't be nerfing the dmg output at all, the missing normals is a big enough nerf to it.

How about: go with modern controls, until you find a few characters you can truly get into and main, then try classic for those. While using modern for the other characters if you're just trying them for fun here n' there. It's nice to just be able to go in and try a character and play with a friend. Instead of just sitting there on the special moves menu for minutes in front of others, when you could be getting some action. I can let a character's abilities hook me first, then I can choose if I wanna get more out of it, compared to going in blind like a headless goose. - A casual who bought a lot of fighting games but hasn't been able to get super deep into any.
