New SF6
Kimberly and Juri Han Gameplay, Details from Game Director Takayuki
Nakayama

 PlayStation.blog
posted a new interview with Street
Fighter 6 Game Director, Takayuki Nakayama, revealing new
storyline information, gameplay details, and official HD screenshots for the recently announced Kimberly
and
Juri Han.
Following the epic EVO '22 reveal trailer
that debuted this past weekend after the conclusion of the Street Fighter V: Champion
Edition grand finals, Nakayama has provided some additional insight
behind Juri's and Kimberly's visual designs and elaborates on what fans
can expect from their play-styles, special moves, and more. Also check out
some brand new gameplay footage of both characters!

JURI
HAN
"The Sadist"
Juri remains a sadistic thrill-seeker who enjoys the suffering of
others, taking immense joy in obliterating
her foes. Previously, her main motivator was revenge against M.
Bison, but since his fall in Street Fighter V, she now
whittles away her time in a gloomy haze, waiting for the next thrill to come along.
What lies in store for her now?
Takayuki Nakayama:
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? |

Juri retains many of her classic moves, now with different properties. Fuhajin
is a returning special where Juri performs
an upwards kick and then stores Fuha stocks. Saihasho,
Ankensatsu, and Go Ohsatsu are newly named specials, but are visually
similar to her low projectile or jumping axe kick. These techniques can now be performed without
the use of Fuha stocks and can be chained together and powered up if a Fuha stock is available.
Juri's Shiku-sen (flying dive kick) returns from her original form
in Super Street
Fighter IV and can be followed up with a series of flashy airborne
kicks. This opens up creative options for her playstyle and can
catch opponents off guard.

KIMBERLY
"The Ninja"
Kimberly invited herself to become Guy's
student, who is the 39th successor to Bushinryu after defeating
his master Zeku,
the 39th successor. Kimberly had an ordinary upbringing, but she's
a prodigy who graduated college early and now wants to be a
full-fledged ninja. She is infatuated with '80s pop
culture when the portable cassette player was at its peak
popularity, hence why she always carries one with her.
Takayuki Nakayama:
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? 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. |
|
|
Nakayama notes that Kimberly's arsenal of techniques make use of her high
physical strength and allows her to open opponents up in various ways.
Being a spunky new ninja, Kimberly incorporates an urban twist to
reimagine what Bushinryu means to her. She uses Genius at Play to stock up
on a spray can, which can then be thrown to the ground as a Shuriken Bomb.
During Hidden Variable, Kimberly conceals herself in colorful smoke before
instantly appearing in front of an opponent for a surprise attack.
Finally, she has the trademark ninja Sprint, which can be followed up with
kick options or Arc Step where Kimberly launches herself off from the
opponent.
