Two more combatants enter the fray for Street Fighter 6. One is a new character, Kimberly, a black girl obsessed with 80s pop culture. That’s a cool gimmick for her and from the trailer, Kimberly looks like she could be a fun character to put into action.

The other addition is a returning character, Juri, a fan favorite back for another round.

Street Fighter 6, the next evolution of the Street Fighter franchise, brought the hype to an action-packed Evolution Championship Series (Evo) 2022 with multiple announcements, including reveals for new characters and additional real-time commentators.

Kimberly, the newest ninja to join the franchise, and Juri, the sadistic thrill-seeker returning from Street Fighter™ V, make their way to the starting roster for Street Fighter 6 when it launches in 2023.

Meanwhile, renowned fighting game commentators Tasty Steve and James Chen head to the mic as additional real-time commentary talent.

The two newest Street Fighter 6 characters are sure to deliver a knockout. Kimberly blends together her skills as a ninja with her love for ‘80s pop culture to create a riveting, yet dangerous fighting style. Juri returns as a wicked force and has added a few new tricks to her move set so she can relish in her opponents’ suffering.
