Street Fighter 6 fans finally got a glimpse at gameplay showcasing C. Viper. The long-awaited return of the CIA agent will be released this upcoming October 15 as the second DLC of SF6 season 3.
C. Viper has not been seen in a fighting game since her inclusion in Marvel vs Capcom 3 back in 2011, with her debut in Street Fighter IV happening three years prior, in 2008. Viper was popular for being a high execution character that rewarded those who mastered her with incredible mixup potential.
While it’s clear that her SF6 incarnation will not be as hard as her SFIV one, fans are still expecting a nice execution check in a game that it’s designed to be easy to pick up and play.
From the looks of things, she retains a lot of her left/mixups with her iconic Burning Kick. In the gameplay trailer, she was seen using it to bait wake-up throws and anti-airs as well with her super jump. She also has an electric shield that gives her armor to blast through DI, so it looks like she’ll be hard to deal with in burnout, potentially.
Both her new outfit, which was showcased in the first reveal a few months ago, and her iconic SFIV look were shown as well. Outfit 2, like always, will likely be available for free via World Tour or by purchasing it for 50 Fighter Coins.
