Capcom revealed three new Street Fighter 6 characters at the PlayStation State of Play event, including the legendary Cammy and Zangief, as well as the high-flying newcomer Lily. This trio of fighters round out the 18-character launch roster, which includes all eight original World Warriors (Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, Zangief, E. Honda, Blanka, and Dhalsim), four returning franchise favourites (Cammy, Juri, Dee Jay, Luke), and six brand new faces (Lily, Jamie, Kimberly, Manon, Marisa, JP).
First appearing in Super Street Fighter II back in 1993, Cammy returns with an arsenal of high-powered attacks including Spiral Arrow, Cannon Spike, and Hooligan Combination. Visit Cammy’s foggy, industrial stage, King Street, and perform lethal Super Art moves like the Killer Bee Spin and Delta Red Assault to bring opponents to their knees and get the crowd going.
OG World Warrior and professional wrestler, Zangief his trademark throws and new moves to the crowd at Barmaley Steelworks. Zangief retains his trademark throws such as the Screw Piledriver and the Siberian Express whilst showing off new moves such as his counter throw, called Tundra Storm. His Level 2 Super Art Cyclone Lariat and Level 3 Super Art Bolshoi Storm Buster are sure to please the crowd.
Lily, a new addition to the roster, is a Thunderfoot tribe descendant, the same tribe as Super Street Fighter II’s T. Hawk. Small but powerful, Lily fights in the bustling Thunderfoot Settlement and defeats enemies with her ferocious Condor Dive, Condor Spire, and Tomahawk Buster. Condor Wind will give you one Windclad stock, which will power up all of the moves listed above. Lily uses her war clubs to beat the hell out of her opponents with her Level 1 Super Art Breezing Hawk, and her Level 3 Super Art Raging Typhoon slams them to the ground.
Street Fighter 6 is available for pre-order now, and will be released worldwide on 2 June 2023, across the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
