Meet Yasmine in Street Fighter 6
Yasmine’s backstory ties her to Filipino martial traditions — trained in Eskrima by her grandfather and brother, she now fights with high‑speed techniques and a Karambit knife. Her release headlines the Year 4 roster, which also includes Arjun, Tifa (Final Fantasy VII Remake), and Bosch.
Players can unlock Yasmine starting August 3, 2026, via the Year 4 Character Pass or Ultimate Pass. She comes with two outfits: Eskrima combat attire and a school uniform, the latter of which is unlockable through Avatar Arcade Mode or Fighter Coins.
