During EVO 2022, Capcom introduced a brand-new ninja named Kimberly for Street Fighter 6 along with the return of Juri.
Not only Kimberly graduated from college early, she also became a student of Guy (from Final Fight), recognized for his skills in Bushinryu. Because she loves the 1980’s pop culture, she wears a portable cassette player while fighting. Kimberly makes use of smoke grenades and spray paint and can be seen showing offensive jumping skills and overall physical strength.
“In terms of Kimberly’s design, we aimed to create an outfit suitable for her speedy and acrobatic movements since she excels in sports like track-and-field and cheerleading. Pair her brightly colored gi with sneakers suitable for moving around quickly, and you have Bushinryu-like ninja attire, don’t you think?” said Takayuki Nakayama. “We tried to make her hairstyle and outfit beautifully showcase her striking silhouette since she is an expert at running and airborne attacks. The spray can and portable cassette player on her waist are also used for special moves.”
Meanwhile, Juri returns with a few modifications to her attacks in previous SF games. Nakayama also said the following about Juri: “For Juri, this costume retains the image from her Super Street Fighter IV one, but has been rearranged to fit the Street Fighter 6 aesthetic. There is also a change in the hairstyle, which I think gives it extra personality. Underneath her jacket, black tape that imitates the appearance of a spider covers her body. The colors of her Feng Shui Engine are purple, black, and white, and accented with emerald green. Also, please pay attention to her helmet, as you may have seen in the trailer when she appears on her motorcycle, since it matches her design. Her smart phone also reflects her personality and style, don’t you think?”
