If you have your eye on Street Fighter 6 newcomer Manon, then you aren’t alone, as the dancer, model, and martial arts master has turned more than a few heads since she made her presence known as part of the upcoming scrapper’s roster ā€” Capcom released a new matchup of the French fighter in action, alongside the debut of her in-game theme.

You can check out the fight above, which sees Manon severely outweighed and outgunned by another SF6 newcomer, Marisa. Still, with aĀ  mastery of poise and balance, as well as her innate acrobatic ability, Manon still manages to get more than her fair share of licks in ā€” demonstrating her deceptive reach, a physics-defying arsenal of grabs and throws, and a frankly bizarre “splits-slide”.

Manon is definitely shaping up to be one of SF6‘s most interesting newcomers, from both a design and gameplay perspective.

Manon – Walk With Grace

Manon’s theme, “Walk With Grace” is a smooth, modern effort, clearly composed to reflect not only the character’s personality but also the many strings in her talented bow. The tune starts out with a melody as mysterious and as intriguing as the woman herself, before transitioning to a rhythmic “stride” ā€” a beat that conjures up visions of confident models powerfully marching down a catwalk, or the red carpet. As a hybrid superstar, Manon has been afforded a tune that is a blend of her talents, synergizing together her celebrity status, her graceful motion, and her natural, somewhat aloof, sense of mystery.

Street Fighter 6 launches June 2 on PlayStation, PC, and Xbox. Be sure to check out the themes for Ryu, Chun-Li, Luke, and Jamie, Juri and Kimberly, and Blanka and Dhalsim, in our previous articles.
