Filipino Fighter Yasmine Joins Street Fighter 6 on August 3

Capcom has announced that Yasmine, a new fighter from the Philippines, will join the roster of Street Fighter 6 on August 3, 2026. The character was revealed with a gameplay trailer showcasing her high-speed, rushdown combat style centered on the Filipino martial art of Eskrima.

Yasmine wields a karambit knife and utilizes a variety of fast, close-range techniques. A key feature of her gameplay is "Bayani Mode," a powered-up state that enhances her special moves and rewards aggressive play. Her move set includes attacks with Filipino-inspired names such as "Alon," "Talim ng Hangin," and "Pamumukadkad ng Sampaguita," her Level 3 Super Art.

The character's backstory involves her training in Eskrima alongside her older brother under their grandfather's guidance. After her brother's mysterious disappearance, Yasmine stopped fighting until she found renewed inspiration, leading her on a journey to discover his fate.

Yasmine will be available for purchase individually or as part of the Street Fighter 6 Year 4 Character Pass or Year 4 Ultimate Pass. She is the first of four planned characters for Year 4, to be followed by Arjun in autumn 2026, the guest character Tifa from Final Fantasy...
