While Street Fighter 6 features a new modernized button layout, you are able to change to a different control type as well as manually map your own actions. To find out how to do so, you can take a look at this article from Seeking Tech.
1. For the first step, you need to go to the main menu of the game if you aren’t there already. Otherwise, you won’t be able to switch the button layout from the pause menu during the middle of a match.
2. While in the main menu, you need to open the Multi Menu, which can be done by pressing the Options button on the DualSense/DualShock 4 or Menu button on the Xbox controller.

4. Inside of the Options menu, you need to switch over to the Controls tab.
On consoles, you can do so by pressing the R1 button if you are playing on PS4/PS5 or RB button if you are playing on Xbox Series X/S.
5. In the Controls tab, you can choose Player 1 Side Control Settings (Battle) if you want to change the button layout for the controller that is assigned to the Player 1 slot or Player 1 Side Control Settings (Battle) for the controller that is assigned to the Player 2 slot.
6. You should now be in the Control Settings screen. Here, you will be able to change between three Street Fighter 6 button layout presets. To find out more about these control types, you can take a look at this comparison.
