Alongside the trailer, social media and community developer Andy Wong gave some more details in a blog post onCapcom’s website. Kimberly, the “ninja star,” combines her dedication to Bushinryu with an “infatuation for ’80s pop culture.” Hence the cassette player.

As for Juri, she “remains a sadistic thrill-seeker who enjoys the suffering of others.” Ace. Wong also points out her trailer fight took place in a new stage, Tian Hong Yuan. This is a downtown, festive area, although it’s not clear yet whether you’ll be able to explore it outside of battle in Street Fighter 6’s more open world-y moments.

Kimberly, Juri, and their many foes will be available to brawl with - modern controls or classic - when Street Fighter 6 releases next year.
