The latest announcement for Year 4 of Street Fighter 6 was received with massive praise thanks to the addition of Tifa from Final Fantasy VII. However, the trailer also showed other new arrivals not only into Street Fighter 6, but also newcomers to the franchise. These new fighters include Arjun, Bosch, and today’s star, Yasmine.
Arriving from the Philippines, Yasmine learned to fight with her brother, Kuya, both under the training of their grandfather, Lolo. Her journey of searching for her lost brother brings her to the city of Street Fighter 6. The new trailer by Capcom showcases Yasmine’s fighting style and abilities, which include:
- Daloy ng Tubig: a quick forward-moving knife attack that can set-up or extend combos.
- Alon: a follow-up attack from Daloy ng Tubig where Yasmine lashes out with a multi-slice hit that ends differently depending upon the strength used for the attack, with successful strikes placing Yasmine in a powered-up state (Bayani Mode).
- Talim ng Hangin: Yasmine spins forward in a low sweep that can either close distance with opponents or bait out their attacks based upon the strength used, with successful hits placing her in Bayani Mode.
- Mukha ng Langit: Yasmine leaps into a front flip that can mix up opponents with either a forward swipe or an upside-down spinning back hit.
- Lipad ng Agila: a multi-hit attack where Yasmine leaps into the air in a flurry of kicks
- Pangil sa Likuran: a swirling projectile that lashes out at varying speeds so Yasmine can chase down and open up her opponent.
- Hiwa ng Kalangitan: Yasmine’s Level 1 Super Art sees her kick her opponent into the air, then slam them back down before transitioning into Bayani Mode.
- Nakatagong Lakas: During Yasmine’s Level 2 Super Art she focuses her energy for a limited time boost that allows her to use special moves while staying in Bayani Mode. She can also use Linya ng Liwanag during this Super Art where she dashes past an opponent and attacks them from behind.
- Pamumukadkad ng Sampaguita: Yasmine’s Level 3 Super Art where she spins an opponent and gathers energy before pulverizing them in an all-out attack.
To unlock Yasmine, you will need to buy the Year 4 Character Pass or Year 4 Ultimate Pass. Yasmine’s Outfit 1 showcases her in Eskrima combat attire. To unlock Outfit 2, however, you will need to either max her Acquisition Gauge in the new Avatar Arcade mode or buy it with Fighter Coins.
Yasmine is the first fighter of the Year 4 Character Pass, but also the first fighter to arrive without World Tour content. It will be interesting to see how this new cycle changes the rhythm of the new character added to the game.
