Capcom has unveiled gameplay details for Elena, the final Season 2 DLC character coming to Street Fighter 6. The vibrant capoeira specialist, originally introduced in Street Fighter 3: New Generation, brings her unique fighting style to the latest installment with both nostalgic techniques and fresh combat options.

Season 2 began with a reimagined M. Bison in June 2024, followed by crossover guest Terry Bogard from Fatal Fury in September. The roster expanded further in February 2025 with Mai Shiranui's arrival before concluding with Elena's upcoming debut.

Evolved Combat Mechanics

Elena's move set showcases clever adaptations for Street Fighter 6's mechanics:

• Rhino Horn: The signature multi-kick combo returns with enhanced fluidity
• Lynx Song: New evasive spinning maneuver that dodges projectiles
• Mallet Mash: Classic overhead attack with improved frame data
• Synergy System: Lynx Whirl enhances follow-up attacks like Leopard Snap

The character's Super Arts include Meteor Volley (anti-air combo starter), Revival Dance (rapid kick flurry), and the spectacular Song of the Grasslands that channels nature's power for a cinematic finisher.

Nostalgic Unlockables

Upon release on June 5, players can:

1. Earn Elena's retro costume through World Tour mode progression
2. Purchase the outfit directly using Fighter Coins
3. Battle on the new Reniala Remains stage featuring African plains at night

This addition completes Street Fighter 6's second character pass, leaving fans speculating about potential Season 3 fighters. With her blend of familiar techniques and innovative mechanics, Elena promises to bring dynamic new strategies to competitive play when she joins the roster next month.
