With the test run of Street Fighter 6, this past weekend at EVO 2022 in Las Vegas, two more characters have been officially confirmed to the game’s roster. Kimberly and Juri will join the ranks of other legendary martial artists when the game releases in 2023.
Kimberly, a new face on the Street Fighter scene, has been described as a ‘spunky new ninja,’ with apparent mentorship ties to Guy. Characterized on the game’s website as a “genuine prodigy” who loves 80s tunes, Kimberly weighs in at 134 pounds and a height of 5′ 6″.
Longtime fans of the Street Fighter series will remember Juri, a Taekwondo expert with an affinity for pain, from Super Street Fighter IV back in 2010. This time without the motivation to kill her nemesis M. Bison, Juri is shrouded in mystery
