(*6*)Zangief and Cammy preserved most of their own moves and playstyles. Grappler Zangief is all about command pitches and heavy hitters and suplexes. Meanwhile, Cammy's running style seems to be completely upright, using quick punches and kicks to leave her opponent with little room to counter.
(*6*)Newcomer Lily looks a bit more interesting, sporting a small stature and a pair of boomerang-like weapons. She clearly is a lighter character and has the potential to be a fan favorite as well as other new challengers like Marisa and Manon.

(*6*) I have many (painful) memories of losing to Zangief's barbaric strength online playstyle, especially his unique Double Lariat, which is vile for stopping new players in their tracks. However, Street Fighter 6 introduces many exciting new mechanics to help change the course midway.
(*6*)The Street Fighter 6 slate is progressing well, with many announced fighters ready for the game's launch. Hopefully we'll get another beta or two out before June. I'd love to try out these latest fighters and get a feel for how they play.
