Takayuki Nakayama, the director of the Street Fighter 6 video game, describes Kimberly as a “specialist in running and airborne attacks” and notes that the team “aimed to build an outfit suitable for her quick and acrobatic motions since she excels in sports like track-and-field and cheering.”

The vicious warrior Juri, who made her Street Fighter 4 debut, will also be making a comeback as a member of the Street Fighter 6 roster, according to the second half of the trailer.
