Street Fighter 6 is now available, but is your PC capable of running it? To find out, here’s a benchmark to answer this crucial question. The advantage of offering this test is that it doesn’t require owning the game. Unfortunately, the demo available on Steam doesn’t provide any testing capabilities.
The release of Street Fighter 6 has garnered attention as Capcom has taken some risks with this immensely popular franchise. The game is accessible on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series consoles, and PC via the Steam platform.
The title features a robust combat system called Drive, which includes four distinct models: Drive Impact, Drive Rush, Drive Parry, and Drive Reversal. Players can choose between two control options: modern and classic. Further details about the game can be found on Wikipedia.
The classic control type maintains the traditional 6-key configuration for punches and kicks, which has been a hallmark of the franchise for the past 30 years. On the other hand, the modern control type simplifies the controls by utilizing three buttons for weak, medium, and strong attacks. This streamlined approach enhances the ease of executing special moves, as they can be performed with a single button press. Additionally, the triggers are designated for executing throws, specifically “Drive Impact” and “Drive Parry” moves.
