[@zaristophanes2]

My sentiment is modern is worse for pros generally, and is better for average sf players because of easier execution. Though instant supers are broken

[@Crouton-]

esspecially for newer players. My friend is new and wants to stick to classic but got really frustrated when he sometimes got auto comboed for a bunch of damage. It's interesting, newer players on modern have a lot more structure compared to new classic players, giving them the edge among the chaos of rookie-bronze.

[@theshadiest7109]

What execution?😂

[@maxrosefoxanime7225]

The supers is a mix one because all players can wake up super

[@maxrosefoxanime7225]

Easier execution where you literally lose stuff playing on modern controls

[@zkaine7083]

I whole-heartedly agree with this.

[@WoWisdeadtome]

The best use I had for modern players was they force you to stay on the ground. I got less scrubby learning to beat modern players because you can't jump on them until you really build up their mental stack because basically if you, on classic, could push jab before the opponent lands a modern player can DP or ever anti-air super you. It makes you develop your ground game.

Normal anti airs is not as good as DP, there are times when I opted to use antiair normals instead of a dp in the heat of the moment and I get hit instead. When that happens, I get upset at myself, that's fair.

The hitbox of that Dhalsim super is a little weird and it starts high on the screen so you can dodge for a bit if you crouch, and also he is not invincible compared to Ryu's lvl 3 which is full inv.

[@gamehead1223]

3:39 here's why, when someone beats you when you see they are using a mode or controls that actively covers their weakness, this will make the player using C controls angry because they know for a fact that had then been on a full 50/50 field in terms of controls odds would have been slightly more in their favor. This in turns add a layor of doubt that the loss was well earned. This also means some people shift up their playstyle on Site of a M player because fighting a M player isn't the same for most C players because most people playing any fighting game AREN'T at a pro level and for those who want to get to a pro level by training using the lab and rank, Losing to a M player hardly if not NEVER feels good. A non-video game Example is this, Go bowling and play someone for money, You have to blow normally, the other person can pick which rail he wants up but has to switch what rail stays up (so left then right then left again as an example) yes he can still get a gutter ball, yes he can still lose but if the skill gap is basically not there and you lose. Things start to look ALOT Different, and yes in that bowling example, you could have walked away and said no, in ranked we get what we get.

@@MastaDivinity well when it comes to fighting games after you reach a certain threshold on ranked like platinum I personally think modern controls just shouldn't be there.

Quarter circle and z inputs are THAT hard y'all

@superraijinsage746 I'd say just let people play the game how they want to play. There isn't any real reason to strip options out the game. It's not like modern controls have any competitive advantage, so I really don't get what the issue is.

[@SimonHenriquez]

Jimmy is absolutly right, modern is not good at all at high levels, but for the lower ranks, up to master it's totally fine. I've been playing modern ken for a bit cause my execution is TRASH never been able to do constant FADC combos back in 4 for exemple and I've trained a lot! But since I've been able to bring ken up to master, it was easier than I thought, cause up to diamond 3/4 it's rabbit land, players only want to either drive rush or jump on you, my response for both options was always to OD DP, then start offense. I have had some players rage quit on me on the way, or not rematch, both modern and classic. I've a ton of trouble with above 1600 MR masters though, but for lower than that I would say modern is good enough, classic is better if you have the execution :p

[@user-tk7tn5fj1k]

1 button dp is an advantage

[@u4412365]

For me, agreed with other comments, M players forces you to stay on the ground. But I discovered some trick to bait their DP by jump in early when they knock down or 50/50 cross cut. They tend to do DP too late and get blocked because I’m already on the ground. So, nature of M players are that they are confident in their DPs but some are not accurate in timing and range.

I am a new player in SF6. And because I am very busy at work, I only play for leisure, and I do not use a joystick but a computer keyboard to play, so the modern mode has become my only choice. After all, the keyboard is small. If i use the classic mode,my hand will be very painful, and my reaction is not that fast, so the modern mode is relatively friendly to me to beginging the game. To be honest, the way i climb to mr 1700 as modern zaingeif,I also hate most of the modern players I encounter. Many of them are relying on using DI or OD. , I am a player who likes footsies, so I have to fight back slowly and patiently.sometimes its annoying,but theres still a lot of modern players that are really good tho

M players on every level have one significant advantage, the speed it takes to do the moves. In a projectile war the M player will always have the edge

You absolutely will, I lose to almost every player that realizes I don't have as many mixup tools or many tools in general for most characters. Once they stop pressing buttons and actually start blocking it gets pretty difficult to land a clean hit.

[@JamboNessy]

2 equally gifted players playing the same number of hours of SF on different control schemes - the modern player will be ahead for like at least a thousand hours. We know it's not the best at the highest level, but for 95%+ of the playerbase it is IMO

Yeah I agree

[@raishijtenobles3103]

A thousand hours is a very large exaggeration, frankly. It doesn't take that long to get decent enough at execution to where you have a couple of bread and butter combos down, the auto combos aren't optimal, and it's also very character dependent.

Nah Jimmy you wrong. 1- If one button reactions weren't OP then Capcom wouldn't balance it by nerfing damage and removing options. 2- judging something's strength by how it is used by the absolute best is like judging the economy's health by how well the 1%ers or the stock market are doing

[@mdz_jimmy]

1. That's exactly my point: players pretend like there are no downsides to modern controls but it was DESIGNED to be balanced with pro's and con's. 2. If players are not willing to struggle with Classic controls then they should just play with Modern controls instead. Choosing classic controls as a beginner should always come with an understanding that you won't be able to do certain things with ease but you get to use the full character tools. This is a chosen disadvantage in the early game in order to reach different heights later on in the game.

[@LucianRudeboy]

@@mdz_jimmy appreciate the response. There are downsides but the upsides outweigh the downsides for people of average skill. I am sure you have come across lots and lots of modern players who are actually medium skilled but are in master rank only because of the simplified button scheme and one button invincible supers. So yes, in that sense, they are getting carried by modern controls. IMO, the damage nerf needs to be larger OR one button invul supers need to be removed.

[@mdz_jimmy]

@@LucianRudeboy Your initial response asked how my #2 addresses your #2 but now you added some more info. I will try to respond to both: I disagree with your #2 concern and your comparison to the economy because you make it sound like players are forced to use either classic controls. As I said in my initial response players can choose and if you are not willing to deal with the downsides of classic then you should be playing modern controls. Capcom shouldn't make Modern even worse just so that beginners on Classic can feel like they are on equal footing: they aren't and that's ok! Modern was balanced around competitive play and I think that's exactly what Capcom should be doing. Anyone starting to play on Modern shouldn't be force to switch later on, the 2 controls schemes are supposed to co-exist and they can't do that if Modern is objectively worse for competitive play. We can discuss this further on my live stream if you want to, I think it's a complicated topic and I understand why people could be frustrated by Modern controls but imo the mindset is quite bad.

[@seansagley6103]

I think modern controls would be better balanced if they had it do more damage than it does atm but add at least some startup to supers

[@DCFHazardRebornChannel]

1:40 "Is it easier to win with controls, yes or no" Yes. Full stop. "Were do you see this? You see it in tournaments" No. 99% of the player base is not playing on tournaments. And 90% of the player base is not pro level masters. Stop using the "tournaments" and "pro" yardstick to measure this in. On lower levels, where NORMAL people play, you are dealing with someone that has an input accuracy higher than pros at 100% consistency, instant input speed faster than pros,, there is not even buffering for moves to try and increase your reaction time by seeing their input, and their reaction times due to thee reasons are also decreased thus faster than they would be. They also have a MUCH smaller mental stack. They have access to less moves, but become much more flowcharty and this is an easier gameplan. You are taking away from them half the skill needed to play the game. They don't need to worry about dropping inputs, they don't need to worry about input speed, and they don't need to worry about inputs period for their reaction time. They also need to worry about less moves. Their practice goes into their gameplan and their gameplan alone. Whilst other players are practicing a whole bunch of other stuff, Modern control players are getting a shortcut. At which point I really don't give a sht if on pro level they hit a wall because they reach a point where the other player has a pro level reaction time, input consitency and speed, AND all the tools of the character. On high level their advantage is smaller and smaller. On lower levels their advantage is clear. I don't see why I need to be fighting someone on lower levels that can input a lvl 3 super art so fast it can connect between a combo if I drop it by simply spamming a single button. Not even pros can do that kind of sht. Auto combos are the icing on the cake. If they find a means to punish you they have a free "mash these buttons" combo and job done. Meanwhile every classic control player before they even build muscle memory needs to think "oh fk, I got a punish, I need to capitalise on it" and until they manage to do this fk it up over and over. On which dimention are these advantages NOT important? On which plane of existence? Honesty, I give two shts on pro level how much modern controls suck. You are telling me I need to reach pro level to never have to come across a modern player that I feel is cheesing. No thanks. How about I stay on my skill level that I am enjoying, and play against people of equal skill. EQUAL skill. Me having to deal with double the work to do the same thing as you is NOT equal skill. Modern Controls are a great and amazing addition to the game. No exageration. I love them. It is such an intuitive way to get newcomers to play the game in a way that doesn't totally break the game. Allows for input commands as well to slowly learn the ropes, and honestly its amazing. They should NOT get rid of Modern Controlls. However, they do not belong in ranked. Full stop. Ranked is a level playing field. The more ways you introduce to play ranked the less level that playing field is. You are trying to asymmetrically create advantages and disadvantages. Modern controls belong in Battle Hub, Custom Lobbies and Casual Matches. Not ranked. And pointing out that you just wrecked a Modern Ken saying "is he hard?" means fk all. You do the same to classic players too. lol. I wreck most Modern Players as well. And? Its not until you come across someone that is taking proper advantage of the insta-spam and realise how unbalanced this is for ranked. How about you go up against a Ken with your level of skill on Modern. I would say the match could go both ways, and EVEN on your level were modern control advantages are mitigated. When you reach higher levels Modern Controls become less and less dominating, because first of all they become more and more predictable. Till you get to that point though they are a cancer you need to push through. And again, I have won 90% of my matches vs modern on lower levels. Before some cavetroll jumps around with "git gud"... I win mate, that is good enough. Its still cheesy idiotic gameplay. The fact I need to even change up my playstyle completely and act as if I am playing a different game is bad on its own. There no longer is a "lets see if we can throw this persons cool off so they can drop moves" for example. That interaction is completely gone. I play as if I am playing AI at that point. "Ok, don't jump EVER because they have single button anti air that is almost as bad as CPU reading you"... So much for trying to test their skill if they can pull a fast last second anti air. A completely different game. Again, leave MC in Casual Matches and everything else, its a great addition. Don't allow it in Ranked though. The decision to do this alone is absurd.

[@onizuka14]

The thing most people dont know about modern. You only lose 20% damage IF you use easy input, if you do manual its 100% damage. Also there are hidden buttons, like modern guile his medium button is his MK, but if you hold the auto combo button press MK, it will be the MP, so he actually does have his both medium buttons, so he didnt lose half of buttons. And auto combo if you stop before super it does 100% damage also. Just test with guile hold auto button +heavy button he will do medium into hp into OD sonic boom for 2k damage, classic guile doing this combo does 2k damage also.

[@notapplicable4283]

Modern is good when you're beginning because you can easily throw supers into your game. I think the switch happens when you start wanting to pull off more complex combos that really do need the buttons to offer more variety.

I think what people are really misunderstanding is that making it easier to combo and having instant supers is only just part of the main problem. I think all the hate for M controls mostly comes from the fact that someone who hasn't played Street Fighter in their life can easily match up to C control players who have been practicing for months to years on end. It's basically the same situation BF4 had with the Phantom Bow. Players did the looonnggggg easter egg to unlock it and out of no where Dice decided to just give it away to be unlocked instantly by picking the bow up in a certain game mode. It's like one big giant slap to the face, me personally I don't care if people choose M controls or not.....my thing is that it should've been optional to only match up with other C control users in ranked if that's what you want, only natural or hard earned skilled players having the honor to hand you your L.

[@HEROIKE315]

"I think all the hate for M controls mostly comes from the fact that someone who hasn't played Street Fighter in their life can easily match up to C control players who have been practicing for months to years on end." This is just untrue, if you're losing to day 1 modern player as a classic player with years of experience, your fundamentals are severely lacking. At the highest level of play, the ONLY advantage modern gets is instant super (most pros anti-air reliably on classic anyway). But clearly that advantage is not worth losing half your good buttons. Also there are A LOT of skilled players that use modern, look at haitani on modern chun (which i think he switched off recentlycause he realized modern is NOT better than classic)

I(who bought the game and got decent enough to string a combo together) was playing with a friend of mine who used to enjoy SF but fell off and hasnt played since 2T, and at first he was getting frustrated because things werent "working" and felt he didnt know enough to keep up. Rather than suggest the always enforced, "get gud" mentality, i suggested there was modern with simplifies it down and makes it a little easier to enjoy. You know what? He enjoyed it. My wife and niece played together on modern(mind you they both have NEVER played a fighting game) and they were having fun. I say all that to say this: sometimes its just about enjoying the game. Not everybody wants to go pro and take the time to learn combos, frame rate, whiffing, etc... sometimes they just wanna pick up a game and enjoy it. Thats what modern is for.

Modern is fair it’s just you need to approach them differently. I’m a 1600MR master AKI, seems like In that rank you need to bait reversals. And be careful at full screen because they can react with supers and such a few frames faster. Now at pro level… I believe it’s a disadvantage to use modern.

[@timbarnes7507]

Just because something is perceived as easier. Doesn't mean that everybody's gonna switch over. Because you see that in everyday life. There are people that do things the same way for 50 years. Even though there is an easier and faster way to do it. They choose to do it that way because they are more used to doing it that way. They feel more comfortable again. Why would they all of a sudden? Learn a brand new way of doing things. If they're already comfortable with the means that gets them towards success. Now that doesn't mean that people that can come in and learn modern controls and Can't be more successful at it than other people. You just have to understand those people are just that damn good. But that doesn't mean that modern controls are superior as well. Remember, it's not the car. It's the driver. You can give anybody a gun, but not everybody can shoot something 50 to a 100 yd away. You see what I'm saying. Don't be surprised if in the near future. The Evo finals or the grand finals are littered with modern controllers. And I guarantee only then will they say. Maybe it might be unfair advantage. Now the fact that I just went online and got my ass whipped by a Jamie player using modern controllers. Might have something to do with my opinion at this current moment.But I still think it is a little cheap It's not anything

[@UnclePhysis]

what if you can't see that the other player is on modern?

[@lukecheung5777]

SF6 is my first fighting game, I can't play in modern. Needing to do special with 2 different types of inputs and do some normals with the assist button are annoying. I'd rather sit in the lab and keep doing the same motion input for half an hour whenever I open the game.

[@zaristophanes2]

Jimmy and you guys are keeping it real with modern, most of the rest of the sf players are salty as hell 😂 but I can understand why

[@sighyawn6378]

tbh assist controls in any fighting game are generally bad and the people who complain about them are usually scrubs who werent winning their games anyways.

[@ryukenX10]

Stop complaining about Modern guys… come on! everybody here saw how a Modern player rage quits his match vs Jimmy… this is a proof that if you lose a match is because the other player is better than you… that’s it..! just continue playing, practice and improve your game.. me included.

Speak the truth

[@retroblue9558]

THANK YOU !! Seriously, the hate about M controls is just ridiculous and dumb. Playing on Modern doesn't mean that you can't improve. Quite the contrary, in fact

[@erikwijoyo]

If modern wasn't invented on sf 6 I wouldnt bought the game

[@kuro-elder3063]

The biggest problem with modern control is not the high level it's the low level when you begin the game in classic and your fighting against a modern player when you do little to no combo or strugling to do the motion-imput and the modern do combo lvl 3 ot instant dp it's broken

[@mdz_jimmy]

Ok but why are you playing on Classic then? You can choose Modern yourself... if you're frustrated by Classic you shouldn't be playing on it. Classic is meant for those who are willing to go through an early struggle phase and your reward is MUCH more freedom of choice when it comes to your options. If you are not willing to do that then you should play on Modern.

[@okgamerjack2274]

​@@mdz_jimmyexactly I mid player, I can play classic but I keep mess up my combo, so I switched to modern, I have more fun with it, and I got diamond with ryu, my highest rank, imo beginner should just play modern, then slowly learn classic

[@degen7278]

0:49 yeah I wish my friends who played with me in this game could subscribe to this mindset. Their new so its understandable but they would get stomped by a modern player and go "moderns so broken". Their are trade offs to modern and depending on the player could be worse. If you get smoked by someone using modern its probably because their just better period.

[@YungBl3ss94]

So you think that because you have to move the stick (no Diddy) in a million directions just to do one move makes you good? Modern players are people who don’t like to over complicate things, or they are new to this type of game. I play modern myself but I’m slowly easing over to classic . Because I play with regular controls on tekken( not the SS).

[@chargeheby882]

Man, Jimmy is still on this topic? I personally don't mind modern players, but having the streamer constantly bring this up and downplay modern controls just doesn't feel very nice - reason as to why I have not been watching his streams lately. Just my thoughts, no hate though I still love Jimmy's Ryu. Downplaying just kills my vibe.

[@therealtombrokaw]

Modern does a great job of getting you into the game and is better for players up to masters. But it has no advantage at that point so it is working as intended

[@TheGooGaming]

Lmaoo its almost scripted thats too perfect

[@timbarnes7507]

It is modern controls.Give players an unfair advantage.Because most of these are players that either can't play street fighter the way it was designed Or just can't get the technique down And it in a way does promote bad technique. It's like wol if you can't learn here you go I understand why they would have done it because it opens up the game to a wider audience and bigger audience means more money. Also, the argument that if it was easier you would see Tornado players doing. It is incorrect as well because these are players that actually know how to play the game the way it was designed It doesn't work that way. Why would they revert to a way to play The Game? That is completely alien to them even if it's easier, if they have success. Of course, they're gonna stick what they No

⁠@@interceptingfist5682bro there is no advantage to doing a button super when there’s very little time difference. there’s more competitive players using classic for a reason, damage and button variety is absolutely gutted using modern controls which is why you still see a majority of newer players that want to play competitive still using classic.

[@EggsAndBacon14]

@@jico5147 bypassing the fraction of a second to pull off a super/ca with one button and no motions as a whiff punish is asinine. equally so is having the ability to cancel a jab punish into super at the sight of opportunity. execution is a major part of fighting games and should not be dulled down to such extreme ease to obtain consistent, high results. the pros are not the majority of the game and they dont need it, obviously. the average player has to compete with this nonsense and it gatekeeps progression. instant reaction super, extremely consistent crosscut dps, low chance of dropping auto combos... its cancerous.

[@givemeverything]

See when all players play the same it makes a game predictable I know there are right ways to play a character but that don't make it the only way

[@CharlesPlaine]

People complaining about Modern a year later? Lololol

[@Tneal78]

Modern is only really annoying for low ladder players since modern players don't have to worry about their inputs messing up. That being said, relying on your opponent to mess up inputs it's a great way to learn the game anyway since people will naturally stop making those mistakes. Edit after seeing the ending: Why are Modern players so salty? They always one and done without fail.

[@EdgeO419]

Because of the majority of the players barring ones who might have physical limitations are using the mode to crap out some easier wins, Modern controls feeds their need for instant gratification with nowhere near the same amount of time and work as an Classic player.

[@AB-tb7bt]

Lol 😂 Sorry you got this scrubby Ken that disconnected. I play modern with some classic inputs. If anything, the higher up you go, the more of a disadvantage modern becomes due to the missing normals and damage reduction. Means you have to stay alive longer and win more engagements than a classic player to win, with less buttons.

[@SHendrixx2]

If you only lose to better players, balance patches wouldn't be a thing. Youre implying the game is perfect lol. Its not, and things like Modern controls are there to remove execution barriers. If you have to do that, they arent better unless thay can win with classic controls as well.

[@santosloragraciano7168]

OMG round 9:58 jajajajajaajaj

[@Taziod]

Modern controls are like an inverse skill multiplier. The worse you are, the better they assist you. That's why people get frustrated. Using modern might take a rookie to silver, but it won't take a diamond to master.

[@kevinbradley8613]

The fact that folks are still debating whether or not modern players have an advantage should be enough to conclude that there’s still no clear answer lol. If you feel strongly one way or the other, you’re biased because of your personal experience. End of debate. We’re all playing the same game and we all have the same options to choose to play modern or classic controls. I think that adding a new control scheme was smart because it’s allowing more folks to enjoy playing the game. The more the merrier!

we play modern only because we are so bad that we cant do classic input

[@MrShinTensei]

It's designed for you to eventually start using motion inputs. You'll start wanting more damage. I started really using motion inputs plat 5 into diamond with modern. The whole thing is designed for you to learn the game through and maybe eventually feel comfortable giving classic a go but they made it where modern is viable in all ranked play

[@xxxxSubZeroxxxx20]

I will say this about modern control!!!!!!! You jimmy are talking from a master rank with that being said 80% of normal players don’t play that high cause the gap is a execution gap, so for players that are not high rank we can’t hit a DP or a fire ball every time then add doing these things during a combo! us lower ranked guys diamond and low get made cause the modern controls by pass the execution gap and some times it’s not fair they don’t drop combos or don’t accidentally throw out the wrong move & it comes out faster so they don’t have to grind the execution training but that’s why they get to master with guys like u and get owned cause they bypassed the overall grind that gets you to that high rank by cheating us lower guys out !!!!!!!!!!! So for us it does feel like there cheating, we are walking the road while they are taking the bike but when they get to the end they are racing there bikes against motorcycles cause when we get there we get rewarded a motorcycle for the walk & grind !!!!!!!!

[@xxxxSubZeroxxxx20]

The same goes for tekken and there new easy controls I would be beating guys that would swap to the easy control mode mid match and comeback and take the win, cause they was loosing cause they couldn’t execute now the control scheme allows them to put up 30% + combo they couldn’t do before !!!!!!!!!!

[@xxxxSubZeroxxxx20]

1 more thing you said that if M controls were so good everyone would use them I will counter u with this , If they were not that good they wouldn’t reduce the damage output u get while using them !!!!! That Ken would have beat u silly if he had the full damage output u had during that match !!!!!!!!! So don’t be fooled they dumb them down so they don’t ruin the overall game !!!!!!!!!

[@rubenberrios6777]

M controls are a pile BS,at times they do moves when noone or very few!!! Could react,at this point i play one match if win i leave if they win i leave its just annoying

[@Rybkinrolla]

This is just annoying to explain… 1. Modern players are missing not only 20% of their damage for faster input but also some IMPORTANT NORMALS. So when you say that Luke is able to play one button 1lvl super don’t forget he is fucking missing good air-to-air option JMP, long MK poke, and best JHP. 2. Players gain their super bars with the same speed and if your opponent lands one button super on you it’s with reduced damage. You have the same bar and can respond after that. Everyone is talking like only modern players have their supers and classic players don’t. If you died because your opponent performed one button super, but your bar is still full - the problem is not in your opponent’s controls, but with your resource management. If not, you always have a chance to respond. 3. If you’re scared of one button DP JUST STOP JUMPING. Why does no one complain about Honda’s real one button anti-air that leads to punish counter and full combo?
