The gloves are off—literally. C. Viper, the electrifying and enigmatic agent first introduced in Street Fighter IV, officially lands in Street Fighter 6 today on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Known for her dazzling mix of speed, style, and strategy, Viper sheds her old cover as “Grace Hill” and dives headfirst into battle, bringing her experimental gear and gadgetry into the fray.
After months of speculation and teasers, Capcom finally pulls back the curtain on this powerhouse fighter. With her high-tech gloves and rocket-boosted boots, Viper offers an intricate yet exhilarating playstyle—perfect for players who thrive on precision and mind games. Whether you’re stepping into Fighting Ground for intense one-on-one combat, exploring World Tour to uncover her latest secrets, or unleashing chaos in Battle Hub avatar fights, C. Viper promises pure voltage.
Watch her in action in the official C. Viper Launch Trailer, now live on YouTube, and check out all the details on the official Street Fighter 6 website.
A New Shock to the System
C. Viper joins Street Fighter 6 as part of the Year 3 Character Pass and Year 3 Ultimate Pass, or she can be purchased individually with Fighter Coins. Players will have access to two stunning outfits upon release—Outfit 1, which mirrors her updated SiRN research role, and Outfit 2, a nostalgic callback to her classic Street Fighter IV appearance. For those who prefer to grind, Outfit 2 can also be unlocked by maxing out your bond with her in World Tour.
Viper’s gameplay revolves around technical combos, aerial mix-ups, and smart resource management. Her toolkit is designed for players who love experimentation, enabling chainable attacks and high-risk, high-reward strategies. Even when low on resources, her unique gadgets ensure she’s never truly out of options.
