Capcom doubles down on their Elena reveal with gameplay on the character, which is coming later today at 4:00 pm PT. The final character in the Street Fighter VI Year 2 DLC has been given the green light to have her Capoeira skills in Metro City to quell the hunger for more content from Street Fighter VI. Kenya’s Elena has been in two sub-series of the World Warrior franchise since her New Generation debut, with a few cameos to keep her friend-making adventurous spirit going. Elena has also appeared as a playable character in Street Fighter X Tekken and Ultra Street Fighter VI.
Elena possesses some incredible footies game with rushdown and pokes from mid range. Her animations are always vivid enough. Rhino Horn and Spinning Scythe would decimate from far distances on EX enhanced forms of the arsenal.
Time for Elena to dance her way across the grasslands. 🤸🏽♀️
We'll be premiering the Elena Gameplay Trailer tomorrow at 4:00PM PT!

According to an EventHubs translated Famitsu interview, Takayuki Nakayama, the director of Street Fighter VI, reassured fans not to be worried about her Healing ability. This has prolonged some fights in Ultra Street Fighter VI and covered a good amount of her health back.
Elena will arrive on June 5 with the Year 1 – 2 Fighters Edition of the game and Nintendo Switch 2. After this, Year 3’s roster will most likely come to fruition during Summer Games Fest.
