Modern Controls are ridiculous

[👑💎Scenery💎👑]

Maybe we should have an option to only play against classic controls, not only can the big guys take half your health with a single grab, but modern controls is all a button mash easy win

[BoonsSauce]

maybe you should switch to modern controls. If you think modern controls is mash and easy win then tournaments are gonna be nothing but flooded with modern controls. I guarentee you that wont happen.

Then why don't you use it?

Get gud. Don't be a coward and block people. That's some beta crap.

[pasta]

Block em if they are giving you trouble.

Just lame it out. Modern is just button-mashing, so force them to actually play the video game (i.e. they can't). I've noticed that if you make the match-up as tedious and un-fun for a Modern player as possible, they quickly fall to pieces.

Downside is this playstyle isn't very fun or exciting, but it's the best way I've found to deal with Modern matchups.

Take some notes for whatever side of the fence you're on.

Modern controls is a problem at lower lvl of play. If 2 new players are fighting, one in modern the other one in classic it's very unfair for the classic new player. They should make a option to not match vs modern control players

I don't know why letting people get to the actual important part of the game - intentionality, decision making, and psychology - more easily is a problem. Giving people access to the tools doesn't automatically mean that they know how to use them well.

lmao, u mash, u lose. its street fighter not tekken

If you are losing to modern mashing then you are bad. Irrelevant to modern.

You know what's more annoying than Modern controls? Players who immediately rush to the corner for their Drive Impact. Their entire gameplan revolves around putting themselves intentionally in the corner and waiting for you so they can use DI.

[Ahriman]

sounds like modern controls might be a good fit for you

[Rose Brigade]

If you're losing to "Button mashing Moderns" you weren't good to begin with regardless of the control scheme. If you think Modern is OP, then use it. Go get top rankings with it.

Modern just makes a few inputs easier, but it doesn't make the player god-like. You still gotta know how to use it effectively to get far with it.

Modern controls don't teach new players how to play. Classic controls do. Classic controls are not hard to learn. Capcom probably thinks that young people are mentally challenged and can't handle something that has been straighforward for 30+ years.

Among new players, Modern controls are a problem because of assisted execution. 2 new players, 1 modern vs 1 classic, the classic controls user is going to be punished for putting in work to develop their skill and execution when going up against a modern control user with assisted combos or cheap gief.

Modern controls also greatly cheapens spectating. You witness tool assist more than you witness sharpened execution. Big yawn.

Modern controls are entirely unnecessary, hold newcomers back, and reveal the low opinion Capcom has of zoomers.

Old video. He gave it a fair chance and now is back to classic.
