Two characters with a very different concept
Kimberly’s visual concept is very colorful and extravagant. She has blue braids at the end, a flashy red sweater, and a small yellow bow above her head. She also seems to have a graffiti concept, demonstrated through spray paint cans and street art-like effects when she does certain attacks.
Juri’s visual concept, on the other hand, is more mystical, with shades of pink, mauve and black. His motorcycle and the smoke that surrounds him give him an air of mysterious badass. It is also amusingly reminiscent of a cat playing with its prey.
Kimberly’s attacks seem to be mostly quick jabs and air kicks (also quite quick). Juri attacks her opponents with devastating tornado kicks.
The development of Street Fighter 6 was officially announced during the State of Play is available in June. The trailer then confirmed several characters including Ryu, Luke, Chun-Li, Jamie and Guile. The game is due in 2023 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series and PC.
