Two new characters in Street Fighter 6, Marisa and Manon, have become popular among players due to their unique playstyles and interesting dynamic in the game's storyline. Fans have shipped the characters and created fanart depicting their perceived romance. The characters have also gained popularity for their style and vibes, with Marisa being a "bruiser" character and Manon having elegant grab attacks.
Capcom's upcoming game Street Fighter 6 features newcomer Manon, who has a unique ability to level up the power of her command grabs by landing them, increasing the damage up to level 5 where they erase huge chunks of health at a time. This buff system remains throughout an entire match, making her a stronger character in later rounds. However, this concentrated power feels potentially overpowered and difficult to balance, as it's always been difficult to balance characters around the single dimension of command grabs.
HiFight has demonstrated the terrifying mechanics of Manon's "Medal Level" system in Street Fighter 6. With each successful command grab, Manon's Medal Level increases, influencing the damage her command throws do. The unique mechanic doesn't go away between rounds, making Manon's command grab damage scarier the longer a match goes on for.
Capcom has released new developer gameplay footage for Street Fighter 6 featuring Cammy White and newcomer Manon. Cammy's toolkit for SF6 includes her light combo confirms from Street Fighter 5, faster Spin Knuckle and Hooligan Combination, and an impressive combo from Cammy's ax kick from Hooligan. Manon looks comfortable hanging around in neutral with her normals and has a strong-looking reversal option. This is the first official time Capcom has shown off Cammy's level 3 Super Art. Street Fighter 6 is scheduled to launch on June 2, 2023, for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
