Capcom pleased his community on the occasion of theEVO 2022. If we had been entitled to the announcement of two new commentators whose voices we will hear during our confrontations, the editor was obviously not going to stop there and, following the finals of the tournament of Street Fighter V: Champion Editionhe revealed two additional characters who join Ryu, Chun Li, Luke, Jamie and Guile in the roster from Street Fighter 6. Pretend to be surprised, since these two fighters appeared in the leakedthe first having even been teased at the very end of the game’s first real trailer. Place to Kimberley and Juri !
Their trailer for gameplay does not do in half measures, showing off their offensives that are eaten Luke and Jamie. the PlayStation-Blog shared some additional details, with comments from Takayuki Nakayama. Another short video showing Juri in action can also be seen below.
Kimberly: a new era has arrived
Shake your spray cans to welcome Street Fighter 6’s newest ninja. Kimberly has invited herself to become Guy’s student on her own, who is the 39th successor of the Bushinryu after defeating his master Zeku, the 38th successor. Kimberly had an ordinary upbringing, but she’s a prodigy who graduated college early and now wants to become a full-fledged ninja. She’s in love with the pop culture of the 80s when the portable cassette player was in its heyday, which is why she always carries one with her.
Takayuki Nakayama “When it came to Kimberly’s design, our goal was to create an outfit that suited her quick and acrobatic movements as she excels in sports like track and field and cheerleading. Pair his brightly colored gi with sneakers suitable for moving quickly, and you’ve got a Bushinryu-like ninja outfit, don’t you think? We tried to make her hairstyle and outfit beautifully show off her eye-catching figure, as she is an expert in running and aerial attacks. The spray can and portable cassette player on his waist are also used for special moves. »
The music she’s listening to is from a certain person, but you’ll have to wait for the story to find out who it is. Let’s see how Kimberly the Ninja + Pop Star = Ninja Star performs.
According to Nakayama, Kimberly’s arsenal of techniques utilizes her great physical strength and allows her to open up to her opponents in different ways. As a brave new ninja, Kimberly incorporates an urban twist to reimagine what Bushinryu means to her. She uses “Genius at Play” to stock up on the spray can, which can then be dropped on the ground like a Shuriken Bomb. During “Hidden Variable”, Kimberly conceals herself in colored smoke before instantly appearing in front of an opponent for a surprise attack. Finally, she has the ninja sprint as her trademark, which can be followed by kick-based follow-ups or “Arc Step” where Kimberly dashes from the opponent.
Juri: something crazy is happening
First appearing in Super Street Fighter IV, Juri remains a sadistic thrill seeker who enjoys the suffering of others, taking immense joy in annihilating her enemies. Previously, her primary motivation was revenge against M. Bison, but since her downfall in Street Fighter V, she now spends her time under a brooding haze. What is in store for him now?
Takayuki Nakayama : “For Juri, this costume retains the image of the one from Super Street Fighter IV, but has been rearranged to fit the aesthetic of Street Fighter 6. There is also a change in the hairstyle, which I think gives it a little more personality.
Under his jacket, a black ribbon imitating the appearance of a spider covers his body. His Feng Shui Engine colors are purple, black and white, accented with emerald green. Also pay attention to her helmet, as you may have seen in the trailer when she appears on her motorbike, as it matches her design. His smartphone also reflects his personality and style, don’t you think? »
Juri fans will be super excited to know that she now retains many of her past moves with different properties. Fuhajin returns where Juri performs an upward kick and stores Fuha actions at the end. Saihasho, Ankensatsu, and Go Ohsatsu are newly named special moves, but may be visually familiar in the form of a low projectile or a jumping drop kick. Although these can now be performed without having to spend Fuha Stocks, they can be chained and powered up if a Fuha Stock is available.
Finally, Juri’s Shiku-sen, a swooping air kick, returns from Super Street Fighter IV, which can be followed by a series of flashy overhead kicks. This opens up more creative options for Juri’s style of play and can catch an opponent off guard.
Visuals of these two formidable young women can be admired on the following page. street fighter 6 will be released as a reminder in 2023 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Until then you can still get Street Fighter V: Champion Edition on Amazon at a price of €24.99.
