Eskrima and the Filipino culture are getting so much representation in Yasmine’s character reveal. Street Fighter 6 Season 4 is kicking off strong with the first gameplay footage of Yasmine. She will be dropping across PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch™ 2 on August 3, 2026.
Philippines Warrior Joins the Fight:
“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 such as,”
- Daloy ng Tubig: a quick, forward-moving knife attack that can set up or extend combos
- Alon: a follow-up attack from Daloy ng Tubig where Yasmine lashes out with a multi-slice hit that ends differently depending upon the strength used for the attack, with successful strikes placing Yasmine in a powered-up state (Bayani Mode)
- Talim ng Hangin: Yasmine spins forward in a low sweep that can either close distance with opponents or bait out their attacks based upon the strength used, with successful hits placing her in Bayani Mode
- Mukha ng Langit: Yasmine leaps into a front flip that can mix up opponents with either a forward swipe or an upside-down spinning back hit
- Lipad ng Agila: a multi-hit attack where Yasmine leaps into the air in a flurry of kicks
- Pangil sa Likuran: a swirling projectile that lashes out at varying speeds so Yasmine can chase down and open up her opponent
- Hiwa ng Kalangitan: Yasmine’s Level 1 Super Art sees her kick her opponent into the air, then slam them back down before transitioning into Bayani Mode
- Nakatagong Lakas: During Yasmine’s Level 2 Super Art she focuses her energy for a limited time boost that allows her to use special moves while staying in Bayani Mode. She can also use Linya ng Liwanag during this Super Art where she dashes past an opponent and attacks them from behind.
- Pamumukadkad ng Sampaguita: Yasmine’s Level 3 Super Art where she spins an opponent and gathers energy before pulverizing them in an all-out attack

Final Takeaway:
Yo, season 4 is going to be fun on so many levels. We have not even seen the other 3 characters yet. However, many are ready to see what Tifa is going to be doing in the game, even though most have seen his martial arts in action. I wonder if they will give her a special move surrounding Materia of some kind? We shall wait and see, as this is the first time a Square Enix character crosses over into a Capcom fighting game. For you Tekken fans out there, real talk, we already had 2 Final Fantasy characters, granted, not the ones many were hoping for. They were still great additions to the story. Let me know your thoughts in the comments, and I will see you on the battlefield! – Beast Out –
