Street Fighter 6 Yasmine Update Slices Out on August 3
Yasmine Character Info:
Yasmine learned how to fight alongside her Kuya (older brother) from her Lolo (grandfather). Initially, she trained simply because she wanted to spend more time with her Kuya, but he mysteriously vanished one day, making her lose any inspiration to fight and ended up doomscrolling on FooTube. Until one day, she stumbled upon a certain French supermodel’s videos, reinspiring her to go out into the world, hoping she’ll cut a path that will lead her right to her Kuya.
If you play rushdown characters, you’ll feel right at home with Yasmine as she zips and glides around to confuse opponents before slicing them right in the face with her trusty knife. Pair this with her lethal Bayani Mode and she’ll make each fight worthy to go viral on FooTube.
Special Moves and Combos
Daloy ng Tubig is a quick forward-moving knife attack that’s good in combos. Follow-up with Alon where Yasmine does a multi-slice hit and a different final hit depending on the strength used. The OD version can combo from a light attack and into Super Arts. It also powers up Alon into a devastating slice that’ll send opponents spinning and won’t take Yasmine out of Bayani Mode.
If Alon connects, Yasmine goes into Bayani Mode and her knife will glow blue. Using Alon in Bayani Mode will result in a different powered up final hit. Using the light version in Bayani Mode ends in a knock down, medium version will end in a ground bounce, and the heavy version ends in an even higher launcher than normal. After this hit, Bayani Mode will dissipate.
Talim ng Hangin is where Yasmine spins forward and sweeps with her knife, useful for closing the gap or taking an opponent by surprise. The light version is a good fake out while the medium and heavy versions will carry her forward. The medium version is safe on block and the heavy one is plus although it comes out pretty slow. And of course, landing this move puts Yasmine into Bayani Mode. The OD version is not safe, but if it hits, the opponent gets launched for a follow-up attack. Madaling sabihin, mahirap gawin.
Leap into the air with Mukha ng Langit, a front flip with two follow-up attacks. The button pressed determines how far Yasmine goes. The first follow-up attack is called Kulog where Yasmine swipes like an eagle’s talon. It’s safe on block and she can start a combo with a light attack if it lands.
The second follow-up is called Ulan, an upside-down spinning attack that hits backwards, so it’s best to aim for behind the opponent. The OD version of all three of these attacks makes it safe or plus on block, so go ham with it!
Lipad ng Agila sees Yasmine kicking into the air in a flurry of hits. A great anti-air and tool for ending combos. The OD version is invincible on startup to keep the bullies away.
Here’s where things get real tricky! Pangil sa Likuran is a projectile move that swirls around like a boomerang. The strength of the move determines how far it goes. It’s a tad slow coming out but is scary for its mix-up and combo potential. Don’t leave yourself open since it’ll disappear if you’re hit. The OD version of the boomerang hits three times, opening even more opportunity.
Super Arts
Yasmine’s Level 1 Super Art is Hiwa ng Kalangitan where she kicks her opponent in the air, then slams them back down. It has invincibility on startup so it’s useful as a counterattack or a “get off me.” Landing this also puts Yasmine in Bayani Mode.
Nakatagong Lakas is Yasmine’s Level 2 Super Art. She focuses her energy and for a limited time, she can use boosted special moves without leaving Bayani Mode. She can also use Linya ng Liwanag during this Super Art where she dashes past an opponent and attacks them from behind. The OD version of Alon also changes completely during this super art where Yasmine cuts through opponents with a buzzsaw of energy!
Finally, Pamumukadkad ng Sampaguita is her Level 3 Super Art where she spins an opponent and gathers energy before pulverizing them in an all-out attack.
Street Fighter 6 August Update Battle Adjustments Concept
Overall Concept
This battle adjustment was done with the aim of shifting the game’s balance by looking at every character and making adjustments.
While we believe the game’s balance has reached a reasonably stable state thanks to repeated adjustments, the relative strength of each character has not shifted significantly in recent updates. Due to this, we decided to implement changes specifically to shake things up.
Please note that there are no adjustments applied universally to all characters.
Modern Control Adjustments
With this battle adjustments we’ve updated certain normal moves (ones that utilize the attack button) and special moves (ones that utilize the SP button) for specific characters. Additionally, for moves that are performed by pressing Down+SP, you can now select the strength of the special move by inputting SP with Down-back, Down or Down-Forward.
This adjustment requires players to relearn specific moves and adds a layer of complexity to the controls, but were done with the aim of improving usability and providing Modern control players with a larger range of options while in the neutral. Please note that Assisted Combos have also been updated for some characters to reflect these changes. Please refer to the character-specific sections for full details.
Universal
| Changes | Category | Adjustment Details |
|---|---|---|
| Drive Reversal | Bug Fix | Fixed an issue where holding back during an opponent’s Drive Reversal screen freeze would cancel previously entered commands or button inputs. |
Literally almost every fighter has some adjustment made, and we suggest checking the hub page out to know more.
