From the Drive Parry stance, a player can double-tap forward to dash out (Drive Rush), or smack forward and HP + HK to deliver a space-creating reversal, (Drive Reversal). However, this method of defense severely drains valuable Drive, paying for its “all-in-one block” reward with expensive resources. Drive Parry (Hold MP + MK) is similar to Flawless Defense from Guilty Gear Strive, and allows a player to absorb all hits without chip damage, as long as they hold down MP + MK. It seems that parrying comes in two forms: Drive Parry and Perfect Parry. The universal Parry mechanic returns from Street Fighter III to make a (double) impact in SF 6. It’s a fascinating form of meter management, and the way Drive is implemented in so many exchanges will form the outline of each player’s personal fighting style. But here is the key… If you are completely drained of Drive, then your character enters a sort of “burnout” state, which decreases their damage and speed - as well as limiting both their offensive and defensive options - until the meter is naturally replenished.Īs such, Drive may prove to be the most “core” Street Fighter system ever, as it places incredible importance and priority on every single element of a player’s aggressive and defensive tactics, while also offering legitimate in-game limitations to those who waste it, or fail to strike an economic balance between gaining and losing meter. Landing punishes and reversals also boost the Drive gauge.Īlmost all forms of attack and defense, counter and reversal, will have some form of effect on a player’s Drive gauge, either limiting their ability to perform parries, EX specials and other Drive maneuvers, or providing them the resources to let loose with a flurry of offense. Blocking an opponent’s attacks drains Drive while attacking a blocking opponent will increase it. This meter can then be utilized for EX moves, or a variety of defensive and offensive skills, such as parries and reversals (see below). Every player begins a match with a six-bar, fully stocked Drive Meter. This system forms the backbone of the second-to-second gameplay. The second component - key to Capcom’s “individual playstyle” theme - is Street Fighter 6‘s all-new meter-management system, known as “Drive”.
