Japanese Players Will Parry Everything in Street Fighter 6

In the past, the Japanese and Asian scenes have been far ahead of the rest of the world in terms of controller optimization. This is what sparked the whole hitbox = "cheatbox" debate last year. With the upcoming release of Street Fighter 6, they are once again ahead of the game with leverless controllers. Because of how important drive impact and parry are going to be, the physical location of the buttons on your controller could mean everything. Nephew explains all of this in detail and a possible workaround in this video.
Street Fighter 6, the next game in the iconic series, will release in 2023! Take part in the Fighting Ground, which focuses on the classic fighting game experience with modes from previous games in the series. Two new modes will be available alongside: World Tour, an immersive single-player story experience, and Battle Hub, which will further expand the scope of player communication and engagement. Your Moment. Your Fight.

[@HollowRick]

Yup it's actually hilarious I remember being made fun of by my friends back in the day for playing on keyboard.. look at the FGC now 😂

The keyboard issue is simply not viable at tournaments because you can’t simply connect them to consoles.

Thank you Nephew

[@SproutMaster]

Not meaning to blow my own trumpet but I did this in the first sf6 beta. Mex tech 😋

[@TempMask]

Another thing you can try is instead of having the parry and drive impact as the right-most two buttons (L1 and L2), set them as the left-most 2 non -direction buttons (square and X). Slide the rest of the buttons to the right, and now you can just play normally but with quicker pointer finger access to parry and DI

This is what i was thinking recently. Gonna see how both feel as i didn't think of nephews layout.

similar to what chris schmidt did in marvel. very clever idea.

[@Jadinass]

I think moving one button from the 4th column to the thumb is just smart. I always felt that the 4th column is less accessible with your weak pinky and i press these buttons less as a result.

[@kickass2733]

Cool that you came up with new "tech" pre release LOL. Very smart to utilize the input priority system to keep your right hand available for everything. Personally, I'm a sanwa lever/6 button layout boomer so I'll be fine just using my middle finger for MP+MK and ring finger for HP+HK. Been doing the same thing for the universal actions in SF3/4/5 and I'll just boomer it up more lol.

[@skbj6782]

I did the same thing when I first got to play 6, so we're gonna have to split royalties on the layout patent. the default layout immediately felt backwards to me in regards to those two buttons when I first played, to the point I thought my controller was configured wrong until I realized it was supposed to be like that.

[@markmessi9020]

Menard plays pad tho and he's the goat

[@originalscreenname44]

Based on the recent tournament majors, pad was pretty much the dominant hardware with leverless behind it. I think pad will easily be the counter to any leverless nonsense because of price and availability.

[@newdev76]

​@@originalscreenname44 The problem is that the pad wears out very quickly and, in the long run, is more expensive.

[@peterevans2854]

Punk plays pad also. Controllers aren’t magically going to make you better. No matter how expensive it is or the amount of buttons it has. I got a Kitsune a few weeks ago; and I love it in SF6, but I also play MK1 and I will NEVER be able to not play on pad in that game. Fucking dedicated block button lol

[@captainphoton1693]

wait. so what about using a keyboard?. they let you map everyting ou want. whay would leverless be banned if more butons than a sp5 controler?

Exactly, my logic also same. Unless they want to ban keyboard, which is default controller of PC, then they cant ban those leverless.

I simply moved my punches and kicks over to the right one, and then moved the final column inputs to the front set of buttons. That means drive impact and drive parry are accessible with my pointer finger and thumb

why does everyone have such a cramped layout?

[@CaseyYeomans]

Okay this video made me realize that I hold my fight stick weird because I always have my pinky over both parry AND drive impact... Does anyone else hold their stick like this? So with the button setup of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 I press buttons 1, 2, and 3 with my index, middle, and ring fingers. I press 5, 6, and 7 with my thumb (reaching under my palm like I'm doing crossovers on a piano). I press 4 with my pinkie, and I press 8 with the heel of my palm. Kind of like, the meat underneath my lowest pinkie joint. People have said I have really fast parries playing the SF6 demo, and I never considered that most people are moving their hands to access the lower row of buttons. I just play like this naturally and never realized it was odd. You can totally access this tech without any special equipment or button mapping. You just have to be a little weirdo.

[@Hemestal]

I never understood why the flatboxes copyed the right hand button layout verbatim. Even back when i played arcade, I always hated having to slide my hand to hit the 3rd or 4th row (depending on the board) or use my pinky. Imo the action buttons should be alliegned vertically in two rows, so you have the whole width of your hand to hit all the buttons without sliding or wiggling your hand in weird positions.

[@InvincibleAkuma]

[@Firebacon1gg]

Wait u lose drive gauge when blocking. Has sf done that before with gameplay mechanics?Dont know how the casual audience will take that. When most fighters u block and don't lose your super meter most of the time it's just chip damage. Like in mk11. Let's see what happens I haven't played it so maybe im wrong. And casual audience will like it. Did sf5 have that? I didn't buy it because well the launch was bad and no characters in base roster at launch basically. Little content for the price. At that time . The whole debacle about the story mode and etc.

[@reportimortal]

I mean, they can simply say they don't want you to use this kind of controller. They don't rly need a reason.

[@invertbrid]

Ok so just use keyboard instead? They are pc controller and u can basically achieve this too by binding the moves to the place u want. Unless capcom wants to ban keyboard too, which is default controller of PC.

[@skychaos87]

Capcom have no excuse banning hitbox now, not after they have already introduce the fucking modern controls. People shit about 1 frame sonic booms but now modern controls gives you 1 frame special/super/CA/360 moves. Not to mention there are fucking auto options selects and auto hit confirms with modern controls. I am not a fan of unfair device advantage, but at this point i don't even care anymore given how Capcom wants the direction of the game to go.

[@xdragon2k]

Capcom: Let's introduce modern control so people with less buttons like pads can enjoy the game. Pro Gamers: I'm gonna add more buttons to my controller.

Yep. We just didn't know due to most keyboards not having sufficient n-key rollover, plus the fact we didn't consider space bar for up. Plus the fact you can't really double tap on keyboard buttons. The 6 or 8 large buttons on the right help with input consistency.

My fingers are always glued to L1 & L2 on pad, I feel for the first time pad players have more advantages than stick/hitbox. Feels real fluid for me and precise. I have a battlebeaver controller with mouse click buttons too.

[@CutShadows]

Do you have the battlebeaver dpad replacement too? How do the buttons compare to stock?

[@kevingallego48]

@@CutShadows honestly, I’ve been switching back and forth between ps5 and battlebeaver, came to the conclusion that mouse click dpad isn’t 100% accurate sometimes the input will drag or you’ll forget to take your finger off and it’ll click twice and give the wrong input. After finally breaking in my ps5 controller (building the callus on my finger) I think it’s the perfect pad for fighting games. Sf6 seems to have been made with pad in mind, having a single button for drive impact and parry are ideal. I switched L1 and L2 so I party with L1 and L2 is drive impact. If you’re still keen on split dpad, don’t go for mouse click, split buttons are great, but the clicky buttons are much better for triggers or your other buttons. I use the split dpad especially when playing charge characters. Hope this helped 👌🏻

To be honest i have similiar set up on my keyboard since beta " movements on wasd - di on space - parry on right ctrl - 6 action buttons on ins del -> page up down buttons - also i can set up x2 punch kicks for specific characters like kimberly's tiger knee air throw on arrow keys D: it's so fast and easy to use those short cuts . As you see i switch to keyboard just because of this , because after socd changes there is no reason to play on another leverless control to me , i believe that will be standart for every game sooner or later so it's better adept earlier.

[@Midori_Hoshi]

All of those changes to the button box layout are nice for offline tournaments, but for the game itself, pad is best. In particular, the Flydigi Apex 2 with smart use of reWASD PC software is the way to go. You can disable the up and down d-pad buttons and do them from some of the back buttons instead, giving yourself most of the button box advantages such as precise diagonals, motion input shortcuts, and up + down = up SOCD cleaning. And since it's a pad with a ton of buttons, you can fit all 13 buttons for Modern controls without having to do any combination inputs (6 face buttons, 1 Menu / Start button, and 6 shoulder buttons). You also have two sticks which are useful for the 3D areas. You can do stuff like put L3 run on the edge of the left stick, so you can easily run in 3D areas. Push the stick a small or medium amount to walk or jog. You can use reWASD's shift feature to easily and quickly use all 15 or so of the training mode shortcuts. You hold one button down, and it will change the function of 15 buttons, making it possible. There will be times when you need to switch to Classic to test something, but you can configure reWASD to swap to your Classic profile easily, along with re-enabling the full d-pad if you want it. The Apex 2 + reWASD combo is so good that the idea of playing on PS5 without it is revolting.

Correct me if I’m wrong but the touch pad is basically just a select button, right? Since the DualSense has a share button now in place of the select button.

[@saado99]

As soon as I saw how often you would need to DI and parry I knew people would start macroing their buttons and drilling holes/changing button layouts on their sticks lol. I know Tokido was experimenting with this in SF5 with I believe Boxer with the TAP button, but I think the last time you REALLY saw this level of macroing was SF4 when people would macro the select button to get select button plinks for 1f links with LP, this was especially crucial for characters like Ibuki where to get those jab tsurugi loops you would need to do very tight 1f links with stand jab. I think there was that marvel 3 player who played C Viper that had his stick banned for macroing multiple directions to a button to get perfect tiger knees. Funny enough he could use a Crossup now and get similar results. I'm still going to be doing the plain old method of pressing 2 buttons because I'm a stubborn old man, until I feel it's absolutely necessary to change. My hands are hovering over all 6 buttons all the time and I constantly shift my hands around where generally I get button combinations quickly.

[@kodaiyoung]

Or you can just press 2 medium buttons for parry. I mean, it's good to have more buttons and I'm working on putting more on my custom leverless but if you can't you will be fine using 2 buttons as defult.

[@redvenomweb]

I was originally planning to use two buttons for parry/DI, but this video kind of convinced me otherwise. Given how strict the timing is for perfect parries, you're making it even harder by adding the "requirement" of pushing both buttons on the correct frame. That is to say: even if there is some input leniency on parry input and you don't have to push both buttons on the exact same frame to get a parry command, if you push MP on the latter frame of the perfect parry 2-frame window but the MK is a frame later, you would get a normal parry... instead of the perfect parry that you would have gotten with a 1-button parry command.
