by

Street Fighter 6 comes with three different control types that you can choose from. To see what the main differences are between all three setups, you can take a look at this comparison guide from Seeking Tech.

Modern Street Fighter 6 controls

The default control type for Street Fighter 6 is Modern. Unlike the Classic option, the Modern option does not offer different buttons for punches and kicks.

You will also get a Special Move button that makes performing Super Arts a lot easier than having to memorize and input the correct button sequences. By holding down the R2/RT button, you can easily perform assisted combo attacks.

Last but not least, there are also dedicated buttons for Dive Parry and Drive Impact.

You can find the default button layout for the PlayStation and Xbox controllers when playing with Modern controls below:

DualShock 4 and DualSense:

  • Triangle Button: Light Attack
  • X Button: Medium Attack
  • Circle Button: Heavy Attack
  • Triangle Button: Special Move

  • L1 Button: Drive Impact
  • R2 Button: Assist
  • L2 Button: Light Attack and Medium Attack

Xbox:

  • X Button: Light Attack
  • A Button: Medium Attack
  • B Button: Heavy Attack
  • Y Button: Special Move
  • RB Button: Dive Parry
  • LB Button: Drive Impact
  • RT Button: Assist
  • LT Button: Light and Medium

Dynamic Street Fighter 6 controls

The Dynamic control type is designed for causal players who want to play a quick match with each other or breeze through the single-player fights. This option can’t be used online or in some of the Fighting Ground modes.

For this setup, kicks and punches have also been combined. The game will also automatically choose what it thinks will be the best attack based on the distance between your character and the opponent.

There are also dedicated buttons for Dive Impact, Dive Parry, Super Art, Normal Throw and Override Arts.

You can find the default PlayStation and Xbox button layouts for the Street Fighter VI Dynamic control type below:

  • Triangle Button: Dive Impact

  • View Button: Accessibility Sounds

Classic Street Fighter 6 controls

The Classic type is made for those who are familiar with the control scheme from Street Fighter V and other older releases in the long-running series.

As a result, you will get dedicated buttons for kicks and punches. You also need to manually input a sting of commands in order to perform special attacks and actions. These include Dive Impact, Dive Parry, Override Arts and Special Arts.

  • RB Button: Heavy Punch
  • A Button: Light Kick
  • B Button: Medium Kick
  • RT Button: Heavy Kick
  • LT Button: Medium Punch and Medium Kick
  • LB Button: Heavy Punch and Heavy Kick

Recap

The Modern control type in Street Fighter 6, which is the default option, is made for gamers who have a hard time memorizing and/or performing button combinations. If you fall into this category, then we suggest that you try out this simplified option first as you don’t have to worry about inputting long lines of commands.

The Dynamic control type is designed for complete newcomers. If you simply want to button mash with friends or in the single player modes, then this is a good option. Keep in mind that you can’t use the Dynamic scheme when fighting against others online or in some of the modes in Fighting Ground.

If you are already familiar with the button combinations in the series, then you can switch back to the Classic control type. This option uses dedicated kick and punch buttons; moreover, you need to input a string of commands in order to perform special attacks and actions.

How to fix the Star Wars Jedi Survivor Devastated Settlement bug

by

When you are going through the Research Tanalorr mission in the Devastated Settlement area while playing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, you will run into a puzzle where you need use a turret to remove the Koboh Matter in order to open up the air geysers. You can then use the updrafts created by these geysers when riding a Relter in order to boost higher up in the air.

If the second or third geyser doesn’t seem to be activating in this puzzle, then you can take a look at this troubleshooting guide from Seeking Tech to see how you can fix this glitch.

Before we begin, you can find a video of the glitch below (via the István Bíró YouTube channel):

How to fix

According to a post from a representative of the development team at Respawn Entertainment on the official EA Answers HQ website, a patch to fix the updraft bug is in the works and should be released soon.

So, if you are soft locked of progressing further into the game due to this issue, then you should make sure that you have the latest patch downloaded before you start up Star Wars Jedi Survivor on your PC, PS5, PS5 Digital Edition, Xbox Series S or Xbox Series X.

Workarounds

If you don’t feel like waiting for a patch, then there are several workarounds that you can attempt in order to bypass the rest of the puzzle.

If only the third geyser isn’t activated, then you can still use the boost from the second geyser to get up to the Grand Courtyard if you approach it from the right angle. You can find a video of this workaround below (via the WorldJumpin Twitter page):

If the second geyser in the puzzle isn’t activated, then you need to dive bomb into first geyser and then try to double jump your way to the Grand Courtyard at the right angle. You can find the full instructions posted by 4m254wyzrovf from the official EA Answers HQ website below:

Hi Everyone,

I came across this topic because I also had this issue. I’m playing on Xbox Series X.

I had the issue with the 2nd geyser not working. I wasn’t able to do the work around to get to the higher platform but the video that was posted gave me an idea. I circled around the first geyser 2 or 3 times and then dive bombed into it at the highest I could get it. I then flew to the side where the 3rd puzzle is and double jumped up to the ledge. I got SUPER lucky! I think the key is not pull up until right when the creature stops the speed boost. When I solved the 3rd puzzle the geyser worked and I was able to make it up to the platform with the save.

Unfortunately, I was playing on Xbox and was too excited to remember to save the footage. Hopefully, this helps someone. It CAN be done. Took me about 30 minutes.

How to fix the Koboh elevator glitch in Star Wars Jedi Survivor

by

When playing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, you may end up falling through an elevator. If you try to take the same lift again, you will notice that the top is completely sealed, making it impossible to progress through this area and continue on with the campaign.

To see how you can fix this elevator glitch in this action-adventure title, you can check out this troubleshooting guide from Seeking Tech.

This soft-locking bug occurs in the Align Arrays at Koboh Control Center mission at the Alignment Control Center on Koboh. As we previously stated, your character may fall through the floor when you are riding a lift upwards.

When you respawn and take the same elevator again, you will find the top closed. Once the elevator reaches that point, your character will clip through the floor and fall down again. Even if you managed to clip your way through the seal, you may find that none of the objects in the new room can be interacted with.

You can find a video clip of this soft lock below (via the kuku kachew YouTube channel):

How to fix

According to a member of the development team, the elevator glitch should be fixed with the next patch update. You can find an explanation as to how the glitch occurred below (via the EA Answers HQ website):

Hello all, a fix has been submitted to stop the player from falling through again – should be in the next patch. I’m really sorry about this, it is a complicated setup with several dynamics attached to each other and there were several bugs involving it that were fixed that were also causing issues. It looks like this is caused by a single flag on the hatch doors for the central elevator that was missed. Next patch should have a fix to stop the player from being able to fall through the elevator so it doesn’t happen again.

And for those of you that did fall through and are stuck, the hatch doors at the top of the elevator should be open to allow you to take the elevator into the control center, and interact with the console to trigger the cinematic to progress the game.

Again really sorry about this – thank you

Once the new patch has gone live, you should make sure you download it on your PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, Xbox Series S or Xbox Series X before you start up Star Wars Jedi Survivor.

How to fix the Jedha glitch in Star Wars Jedi Survivor

by

You may end up getting stuck in Jedha during the Defend the Hangar mission when playing Star Wars Jedi Survivor. To see how you can potentially fix this issue, you can take a look at this article from Seeking Tech.

Why the bug occurs

Before we start detailing this bug, it is important to note that there could be some story spoilers if you haven’t made it this far through the campaign. So, you should proceed with caution if you have not started the Defend the Hangar mission in the Jedha planet yet.

The glitch occurs when you take control as Cere. If you managed to fall off the map, you would respawn in a room with a locked gate, inoperable elevator and meditation circle. In this room, you will be stuck with nowhere to go as you won’t get past the gate or summon the lift.

While you can try jumping down the elevator shaft, you will suffer from fall damage and respawn back in the very same room.

You can find a video of the soft-locking bug in the Star Wars Jedi Survivor game below (via the Elijah Salem YouTube channel):

How to fix

The only way to get rid of this glitch is to wait until the development team from Respawn Entertainment fixes the issue.

According to a community manager from Electronic Arts, the soft lock has been forwarded to the necessary personnel. You can find the statement below (via the EA Answers HQ website):

  • “The issue has been forwarded to the teams for further investigation.”

A new patch for Star Wars Jedi Survivor should be announced through the official EA Star Wars Twitter page. If the patch notes states that this new version of the action-adventure game fixes the Jedha soft lock, then make sure you download the title update on your PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, Xbox Series S or Xbox Series X.

Once you updated the game, you should be able to progress past the locked room.

If you don’t want to wait that long for a new patch to fix this bug, then you can try starting a new journey. To speed up the replay progress, you can play at the easiest difficulty setting and skip the cut scenes. Once you play as Cere in the Defend the Hangar mission, make sure you don’t fall off the ledge again in order to avoid the glitch.
