Street Fighter 6 is more than several months away, and while Capcom Cup IX ended without any reveal details for new fighters, Sony's State of Play included gameplay for three additions to the base roster. The Red Cyclone, Zangief returns to the tournament, new character Lily, a descendant of the Thunderfoot Tribe (T. Hawk's home ancestry), and the Delta Red Special Forces unit, Cammy.

Many of the Zangief and Cammy's skills from Street Fighter V's V-System are now incorporated into their special moves and Critical Arts. Zangief, for instance, can now seemingly command grab opponents as an action from his Cyclone Lariat (formerly his V-Trigger 1). I was interested in seeing how grapplers would be properly incorporated into Street Fighter 6's Drive system.

Small in stature, Lily appears to be a rushdown character with fairly rangey normal attacks, aided in part by the use of her dual war clubs. Many of her attacks are practically the same as T. Hawk, she could very well be his daughter, time will tell on that reveal, so she appears to be a speedy grappler.

Cammy returns, and her tool kit looks very modified. One the traits that made Cammy a terror in various seasons of Street Fighter V was her incredibly fast walk speed, complimented by her plus frames (her advantage on being able to press another button, following a blocked attack). Street Fighter 6 Cammy with Drive Impact? Oh, it's going to be chaos. 

Also, keen eyes may recognize her Critical Art as the attack she used to assassinate Albert Sellers in the 1994 Street Fighter II animated movie.

Street Fighter 6 launches June 2nd, 2023 for the Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PS4, and Steam.
