Capcom will release Yasmin, the first entirely new character of Street Fighter 6's fourth year, on August 3 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Yasmin is a standard-type fighter with high mobility, using a karambit knife and fast walking and Drive Rush speeds. Her special moves include Daroi n Tubig, a multi-hit advancing attack, and Talim n Hangin, a rush slash with a feint variant.
Capcom plans to add Yasmin to Street Fighter 6 on August 3, making her the first brand-new character of the game's fourth year. She will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. Yasmin was playable early at EVO 2026 in June, and a preview of her moveset has now been published.
Yasmin is described as a standard-type character, a contrast to recent additions Viper, Alex, and Ingrid, who had more unusual playstyles. She fights with a karambit knife and relies on speed, with fast walking and Drive Rush speeds. Her normal attacks have short range, but she can cancel Drive Rush from crouching medium kick and use the aerial move Muka n Ranggit for high-low mix-ups.
Her special moves include Daroi n Tubig, a multi-hit advancing attack that can be followed up with Aron to enter an enhanced Baniya Mode, and Talim n Hangin, a rush slash with light, medium, and heavy versions, including a feint. A CPU Lv7 mirror match video has also been released to demonstrate her performance.
