Capcom has announced that upcoming Street Fighter 6 DLC character Arjun will release on October 13. Arjun is included with Street Fighter 6 Fighter Pass 4 and will be followed up by the release of DLC characters Tifa from Final Fantasy VII Revelation in early 2027 and Bosch in spring 2027.
Here’s a breakdown of Arjun, courtesy of Capcom:
Arjun served as a police officer in India until the day his trusted partner was murdered, and Arjun was framed for the crime. Now he lives on the run, dedicating his every breath toward uncovering the mystery behind the death of his partner. Arjun’s Yoga Breathing techniques make him a stalwart powerhouse that sacrifices speed for powerful strikes capable of dealing recoverable damage to his opponent even after being blocked, devastating projectiles and clever traps he that combine to steal his opponent’s breath away in one fell swoop.
-
- Arm of Justice: a versatile winding punch that saps his opponent’s energy with variants for different attack strengths and an optional Follow-up
- Cruel Shoulder: a lunging forward shoulder tackle with different properties depending on the strength of the attack
- Breathing Ring: a ring of air made through body and spirit that he can follow up with Breathing Shockwave to send the ring forward as a projectile at various angles
- Divine Pillar: Arjun blows enough air into the ground to raise the ground into a pillar of earth, with the strength of the attack determining the distance and holding the button delays the pillar’s activation
- Justice Beyond: Using Cruel Shoulder to contact an active Divine Pillar allows Arjun to grab the pillar and swing it at his opponent in any direction
- Ghastly Interrogation: a command throw that only deals recoverable damage, but can deal normal damage if the opponent has already received recoverable damage
- Indomitable Defense: Arjun uses his yogic breathing to hyper oxygenate his muscles so he can turn any incoming melee strikes into counterattacks dealing recoverable damage
- Moral Breakdown: While Indominable Defense is engaged, Arjun throws both fists forward to deal recoverable damage on block or normal damage on hit
- Howling Destruction: Arjun’s Level 1 Super Art mows down foes with quick bursts of his breathing technique
- Instant Oblivion: Arjun’s Level 2 Super Art sends foes flying into the air and far away from him where he can set up a Divine Pillar
- Yaksha’s Order: Arjun’s Level 3 Super Art sees him disrupt his opponent’s inner ear before he performs a cinematic devastating attack
Arjun will be unlocked on October 13 for players who own or purchase the Year 4 Character Pass or Year 4 Ultimate Pass. Arjun’s Outfit 1 depicts him while he is on the run in pursuit of vengeance, while Outfit 2 represents an idealized vision of Arjun that his put his quest for justice behind him.
