With the Street Fighter 6 open beta launching in just a few days, Capcom has released a slew of videos to get new and veteran players alike up to speed before the beta goes live. A recently published Street Fighter 6 beta video details the characters and systems that players will need to learn during the beta, with more videos seemingly planned for release in the coming days.

You can watch the open beta video below:

This first open beta video goes over the characters, control types, and Drive system mechanics for Street Fighter 6. As mentioned during the open beta announcement, you’ll be able to play eight characters, featuring Luke, Jamie, Ryu, Chun-Li, Guile, Kimberly, Juri, and Ken. The open beta will feature both Classic and Modern control types; the Classic layout follows the traditional six-button format with three punch and kick buttons. The Modern layout, however, is geared towards newer players to the franchise, with a dedicated single-button input for Special Move Attacks and accessible Super Arts, among other things. Finally, the video also covers the Drive system, which includes new moves in Overdrive, Drive Impact, Drive Parry, Drive Rush, and Drive Reversal.

In case you missed it, Capcom has also released a few videos showing players how to play the characters available in the open beta. Currently, there are videos for four of the eight playable characters, featuring Luke, Kimberly, Ryu, and Chun-Li.
