Street Fighter 6’s gameplay includes various battle systems. The Drive Gauge System is central, giving players a single bar that powers defensive and offensive options like Drive Rush, Drive Impact, and Overdrive Arts. The gauge let players build momentum, break through defenses, or unleash powerful attacks when timed well.

The game also offers different modes that change how fights are played. Fighting Ground keeps the classic arcade-style of gameplay; World Tour lets players create a custom avatar and explore cities, training with masters and unlocking new techniques, while the Battle Hub connects players online for casual matches, tournaments, and meeting other players.

Street Fighter 6 also gives players 3 different options for controls. Depending on the player’s skill level, they can choose from the following controls, ranging from more skilled to beginner system playstyles: Classic, Modern, and Dynamic.
