Elena’s moves in Street Fighter 6 – EventHubs

🔍 Summary:

At the recent Evo Japan 2025 event, new details emerged about the character Elena in the upcoming Street Fighter 6 game. Elena, known for her dynamic moveset, retains several of her classic attacks with some modifications and new abilities. She features five special moves, including Spinning Scythe and Lynx Song, both of which can lead into a Lynx Whirl follow-up. These moves show similarities to her previous versions in games like Ultra Street Fighter 4 and Street Fighter 3: Third Strike, though with some updates in names and functions.

A hands-on review from the event highlighted Elena’s enhanced capabilities, such as being able to juggle opponents with her Super 1, Meteor Volley, and follow up with her Dragon Kick, Scratch Wheel. Additionally, her healing move now restores about 1,200 health, equating to roughly 12% of a typical life bar in the game. Notably, Elena lacks throw loops even after a Drive Rush, suggesting possible changes to this mechanic across the game’s roster.

Elena also has a new target combo that transitions from a Crouching Medium Kick to a Heavy Kick, which can be special canceled but misses on crouching opponents. Moreover, she has a two-hitting, special cancellable crouching heavy punch with limited range but potential for combo extensions using Drive Rush.

These insights into Elena’s gameplay were shared alongside images of her moveset, providing fans a detailed preview ahead of her release on June 5, 2025.
