Street Fighter 6 Type Arcade is finally available on Taito NESiCAxLive following its release for the domestic market in June. The content of the Capcom game is basically the same as the home version, but with the appeal of the arcade setup. 20 characters are currently available, including Ryu, Luke, Chun-Li, Guile, Juri, Ken and the new characters Jamie, Kimberly, Marisa, Manon, Lily, JP and A.K.I.. Street Fighter 6 introduces a fighting system called Drive which takes several different forms: Drive Impact, Drive Parry, Drive Rush and Drive Reversal. There are also two types of control: classic and modern. The classic type retains the 6-button configuration for punches and kicks. The modern type has three buttons for weak, medium and strong punches so you can make special moves by pressing just one button. 2 extra buttons are used for Drive Impact and Drive Parry projections. Players can bring their own controllers to play the arcade version. What's more, local and national matches have become even easier to play thanks to the introduction of a safety mode in which the game isn't over until you've lost two games.
