Street Fighter 6 DLC character Elena ‘Gameplay’ trailer, screenshots

by

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m super stoked to share that Capcom has dropped the gameplay trailer for Street Fighter 6’s new character, Elena! She’ll be available starting June 5th, coinciding with the release of the Switch 2 version and the Fighters Edition (Years 1-2). Can’t wait to get my hands on her moves!

Here are the latest details:

As a beloved character making her comeback in the series, players’ enthusiasm will surge for Elena, who showcases an exclusive moveset influenced by capoeira – a Brazilian martial art and dance fusion that incorporates elements of fighting, dancing, music, and acrobatics, enhanced with the contemporary mechanics of Street Fighter 6. Elena additionally introduces a fresh stage, Reniala Remains, portraying the African savannah under the night sky, teeming with wildlife, illuminated by the radiant moon above. Players must adapt to Elena as she gracefully traverses across all game modes such as World Tour, Fighting Ground, and Battle Hub.

In a vibrant display, the sincere Elena demonstrates her dynamic kicks while donning two eye-catching ensembles. The first costume reflects her latest fashion trend, blending novelty with familiarity to accentuate both her elegance and physique. Meanwhile, the second outfit pays homage to her classic Street Fighter III: New Generation and Ultra Street Fighter IV appearance. You can obtain Outfit 2 by reaching the maximum bond level with Elena in World Tour or by using Fighter Coins.

In the trailer, it’s evident that Elena’s fighting style leverages her lengthy limbs and erratic maneuvers to control her opponents. This approach includes:

  • Rhino Horn – A series of quick, forward-moving kicks that send the opponent flying back
  • Scratch Wheel – Known as Elena’s “dragon-punch,” this move is useful for anti-airs or for keeping opponents away
  • Lynx Song – Where things get wild, Elena spins forward close to the ground while invincible to projectiles and can then use four different techniques out of it, such as Leopard Snap, Harvest Circle, Mallet Smash or Lynx Whirl.
    • Leopard Snap – A long-reaching attack useful for closing distances
    • Harvest Circle -: A kick that launches opponents in the air and maintains invincibility to projectiles
    • Mallet Smash – An overhead kick that can buffalow-profile
    • Lynx Whirl – Elena performs an additional spin to extend Lynx Song. If the aforementioned Leopard Snap, Harvest Circle, or Mallet Smash are performed after Lynx Whirl, their properties are “boosted!”
  • Spinning Scythe – As seen in previous iterations, perform a series of spinning kicks that can be canceled and followed up with Leopard Snap, Harvest Circle, Mallet Smash, and Lynx Whirl, to keep up the pressure on her opponents
  • Moon Glider – An evasive technique where Elena steps back before performing a vertical spinning kick that sends the opponent in the air
  • Meteor Volley – Elena’s Level 1 Super Art that operates as an effective anti-air move and also allows for a follow-up attack.
  • Revival Dance – Elena’s Level 2 Super Art where she launches forward with a flurry of kicks and is invincible to all attacks on start-up. If you hold the down button, rather than dealing extra damage, Elena will do her trademark healing!
  • Song of the Grasslands – Elena’s Level 3 Super Art brings the power of nature to the fight as she delivers kicks with the power of the skies and plains!

Ultimately, a significant balance adjustment is planned for Street Fighter 6 upon Elena’s release, affecting all the preceding 25 characters and incorporating broader system tweaks too. Make sure to stay tuned for the comprehensive list of changes as we move towards Elena’s debut!

Street Fighter 6 is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, and PC vis Steam.
