The first-ever Filipina character to grace Capcom’s Street Fighter 6, Yasmine, is being launched in-game this August 2026. To commemorate her joining the roster, Filipino fans are invited to celebrate in an exciting community event in Manila!
Celebrate Yasmine’s Street Fighter 6 Launch in Manila
The Street Fighter 6 celebration will take place on Sunday, August 9, 2026, at Salud! by Primera Bar & Restaurant, located in Palanan, Makati. Doors open at 2:00 PM for a packed afternoon of fierce tournament play and fun community activities.
An on-ground tournament will be held in this format – Double-Elimination Bracket (Best-of-3 / FT2, transitioning to Best-of-5 / FT3 for Top 8 Finals). Those who cannot attend in person will be able to catch the happenings online via YouTube.
For those who are able to attend the event, themed merch will be up for grabs for free (until stocks last!). Event attendees will also spot cosplayers, local FGC players, and content creators during the celebration.
Learn More about Yasmine
Hailing from the Philippines, Yasmine learned how to fight alongside her Kuya (older brother) under the guidance of her Lolo (grandfather). Following the sudden disappearance of her brother, Yasmine put down her Karambit knife until FooTube videos of a certain French supermodel inspired her to cut a path to her lost sibling. On her journey of discovery, Yasmine will use various high-speed Eskrima techniques.
Yasmine is the first character to be released from the upcoming Year 4 roster including Arjun, Tifa from the FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series, and Bosch. Yasmine’s release will also coincide with Battle Balance adjustments for the entire Street Fighter 6roster.
