During EVO 2025 last night, Capcom debuted a new teaser trailer for Street Fighter 6’s next DLC character, C. Viper. Hailing from Street Fighter IV more than a decade ago, she became a fan favorite due to her more westernized design, but hasn’t really been seen since. Since Capcom has been listening to fans for character suggestions as of late, it seems that the timing was right for C. Viper to make her return to the series.
We don’t get any gameplay of her, but there is a prominent look at her new design. It shares similarities with her original incarnation, but it looks a bit more modern and sleek. The change to white from black is also nice, showing a stark contrast between the old and new. Viper is still a scientist with a penchant for research, so her entire story is that she’s joining this tournament to acquire more data. I’m not sure if it will factor into any kind of story mode, but at least she didn’t randomly show up out of the blue.
With Sagat releasing tomorrow, August 5th, 2025, for Street Fighter 6, C. Viper will likely join the roster towards the end of the year. I would anticipate something like October or even November since this latest season started later than past ones. Characters are usually spaced out 2-4 months, so it won’t be too long.
