Capcom has revealed that nature-loving capoeira fighter Elena will be joining Street Fighter 6 on June 5, 2025. The Final Year 2 character will be available on the SF6 roster across Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

Elena brings her unique moveset inspired by Capoeria, a Brazilian martial art and dance form that blends martial arts, dance, music, and acrobatics, combined with the modern touches of Street Fighter 6 mechanics. Elena also brings a brand new stage, Reniala Remains, which showcases the plains of Africa at night as wildlife roam in the background, all lit by the glowing moon above. Players will need to keep up with Elena as she dances across all three game modes, including World Tour, Fighting Ground, and Battle Hub.

The newest Street Fighter 6 fighter will have two colorful Outfits. Outfit 1 is themed around her brand-new look, creating a fresh but familiar style. Outfit 2 is an ode to her iconic look in Street Fighter III: New Generation and Ultra Street Fighter IV.

Here is a list of Elena’s movesets via Capcom:

• Rhino Horn: A series of quick, forward-moving kicks that send the opponent flying back
• Scratch Wheel: Known as Elena’s “dragon-punch,” this move is useful for anti-airs or for keeping opponents away
• Lynx Song: Where things get wild, Elena spins forward close to the ground while invincible to projectiles and can then use four different techniques out of it, such as Leopard Snap, Harvest Circle, Mallet Smash or Lynx Whirl.
  • Leopard Snap: A long-reaching attack useful for closing distances
  • Harvest Circle: A kick that launches opponents in the air and maintains invincibility to projectiles
  • Mallet Smash: An overhead kick that can buffalow-profile
  • Lynx Whirl: Elena performs an additional spin to extend Lynx Song. If the aforementioned Leopard Snap, Harvest Circle, or Mallet Smash are performed after Lynx Whirl, their properties are “boosted!”
• Spinning Scythe: As seen in previous iterations, perform a series of spinning kicks that can be canceled and followed up with Leopard Snap, Harvest Circle, Mallet Smash, and Lynx Whirl, to keep up the pressure on her opponents
• Moon Glider: An evasive technique where Elena steps back before performing a vertical spinning kick that sends the opponent in the air
• Meteor Volley: Elena’s Level 1 Super Art that operates as an effective anti-air move and also allows for a follow-up attack.
• Revival Dance: Elena’s Level 2 Super Art where she launches forward with a flurry of kicks and is invincible to all attacks on start-up. If you hold the down button, rather than dealing extra damage, Elena will do her trademark healing!
• Song of the Grasslands: Elena’s Level 3 Super Art brings the power of nature to the fight as she delivers kicks with the power of the skies and plains!

Street Fighter 6 will not only be launching on Switch 2 the day it releases, but also will be the Street Fighter 6 Years 1-2 Fighters Edition that will be available on all platforms. The edition includes the characters and stages released through Years 1 & 2, making it a total of 26 characters, including their Outfit 1, Colors 3-10, and 20 stages.

What came as a surprise during the Switch 2 Direct earlier in April was that Street Fighter 6 will have amiibo support. The first three amiibo for the game have been revealed and will be $40 each.
