Juri Han, The first female villain in Street Fighter history, made her debut in Street Fighter IV. She became such a big fan favorite that the only Street Fighter 4 character who returned as playable in Street Fighter V is her. In Street Fighter V, she became less of a villain and more of an Anti-hero.
Something I notice with Juri’s new model changes in her proportions; She is Flat Chested in Street Fighter 4, then became busty in Street Fighter V, and now she got reduction again. I guess she realizes that silicone implants are not for her.
I guess now that M.Bison, who murdered her parents, is dead, she has no more reason to be vengeful. She still maintained her sadistic and playful behavior. The psychotic Taekwondo master from Korea is back for the third game in a row. She is now a legacy character for Street Fighter 6.
Juri Han reveal trailer
Kimberly, a new face, also joined the roster. She is an African American teenage ninja obsessed with 80s pop culture. You can see it with her fashion and love for her cassette-playing Walkman. She is a Bushin-Ryu ninja, so she could be either an apprentice of Guy or Geki. Capcom is not known for good hair animation, and I remember the meme of Trish from Devil May Cry being called a Plank head because her hair looks like a plank. Seeing a character like Kimberly with beautiful hair animations wet my tear ducts from happiness. Some fans will compare Kimberly to Isla from the King of Fighters because both use graffiti spray paint on their move set.
Kimberly Gameplay
The roster of Street Fighter 6 got revealed months ago, but they are nothing but concept arts. So to see Juri’s makeover and Kimberly’s debut is a feast for the eyes.
People are already comparing Kimberly to Isla because they utilize spray paint on their fighting style but they are two different characters. I don’t see them as the same.
I am glad to finally see a Dark skinned black woman in Street Fighter because the past black ladies this game have, Laura and Elena have light skin. I mean Elena is from Kenya yet a Kardashian sister is more darker skinned than her. I am so finally happy to see an Ebony goddess like Kimberly in the game. She also looks cool.
Goddamn, the hip sway and feet clutching their face still knock the living crap out of them, even though our babe Juri’s original appearance is still the best. Man, Capcom makeovers our babe Juri in full, stunning detail, and we adore her most recent look. Both Juri and Kimberly are gorgeous! Because Kimberly is one of the best new SF character designs, Juri fans will undoubtedly be mesmerized by this trailer.
Despite the fact that I’m new to Street Fighter lore, I will admit that Kimberly looks fun and vivacious with a touch of Star-Lord and Miles Morales. Juri being ChunChun’s opposite is creepy, psychopathic, dangerous, and nightmare-inducing in her fighting style, and I love it. She also steals Chun- Li’s bracelet spikes. Although Street Fighter was never the same as before, this new approach is nonetheless kicking!
Cool trailer, however as I watched it, I observed that Kimberly’s general design complemented the tone and aesthetic of Street Fighter 6 much better than Luke did; she appeared to be more deserving of being the main character. I remember Guy as one of the most boring characters but Kimberly made his boring moveset look fun.
This game looks so amazing, man, it almost makes me cry. Although I haven’t played it yet, the individuals responsible for the game’s engine and artwork should be proud. I am nervous of the new style of Artwork before but they had proven me wrong. The new art style is just badass!
The only thing about Kimberly that I don’t particularly like is that she seems to be extremely genki trope and has no apparent link to Guy instead of being completely original. Isla and Kimberly both use spray paint, which somehow makes me think of Isla.
I love how Juri Mocks her opponents, LOL: at the comment section on YouTube wishing they are Jamie because she sits on him.
Juri’s voice actress never changed since she debuted, Capcom usually have no loyalty to voice actors.
