Zangief got the ball rolling by welcoming his fans to a clandestine arena-like level, the Barmaley Steelworks. Always a fan of spectacular mugs (Screw Piledriver, Siberian Express), the powerful wrestler now tries his hand at counter-projection (Tundra Storm). As for the chances of survival after a level 2 Super Art (Cyclone Lariat) or level 3 (Bolshoi Storm Buster), they seem particularly thin. In a very different size, Capcom then unveils Lily, a newcomer belonging to the Thunderfoot tribe, the one represented by T. Hawk in Super Street Fighter II. Wielding two war clubs, this twirling character calls upon the spirits of nature, hence the name of his techniques. Condor Dive, Condor Spirebut also Condor Wind which allows him to strengthen his attacks. Youth obliges, Lily does not seem to have completely mastered her level 3 Super Art yet (Raging Typhoon).
Keeping the best for last, in all objectivity, Capcom closes the ball with a Cammy who offers her most notable makeover since her debut, both from a hair and clothing point of view. The friend of the cats finds her usual arsenal (Spiral Arrow, Cannon Spike, Holligan Combination) knowing that the higher version of each of these three moves has been improved to allow a delay or grant new properties. The Brit invites us to meet in the foggy and industrial setting of King Street.
In addition to the historical eight of Street Fighter II (Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, Zangief, Honda, Blanka, Dhalsim), this street fighter 6 will therefore offer at launch four regulars of the saga (Cammy, Juri, Dee Jay, Luke) and six newcomers (Lily, Jamie, Kimberly, Manon, Marisa, JP).
