Colin Smith — August 9, 2022 — Tech
Capcom announced two characters coming to the 'Street Fighter 6' roster, named Juri and Kimberly. Juri is a returning character originally introduced in 2008's Street Fighter IV as the series' first-ever South Korean character, whereas Kimberly is an all-new female character representing the United States in the sixth main iteration of the genre-defining fighting game.
Juri features an all-new character design in Street Fighter 6 with angled bangs that hide one eye, an abundance of dark-black and dark-purple clothes, and a much more sadistic personality than the previous iterations. Kimberly, on the other hand, is a trained Ninja who chooses to fight with spray paint cans, small throwables, and often listens to music while playing the game, acting as an energetic, youthful Ninja.
