Capcom's got a pretty healthy slate of new games coming out within the next 12 months, but it seems particularly excited about Street Fighter 6.

On launch, players will be able to choose from two control schemes: a "Classic" scheme, which will be instantly recognizable to fans of the fighting franchise, or a "Modern" scheme, which may just revolutionize the fighting game community.
