After years of seeing Filipino representation pop up in fighting games through stages, costumes, or subtle references, Street Fighter 6 is finally giving the Philippines its very own character. Capcom has officially released Yasmine, the game’s first-ever Filipina playable fighter, as the start of the game’s Year 4 content. Yasmine’s fighting style is deeply inspired by Eskrima, the Filipino martial art centered around bladed and stick weapons. One of the more amusing parts of Yasmine is just how committed Capcom was to giving her moves authentic Filipino names.
