Capcom Shows Arjun Playtest At Tokyo Game Show 2026
The playtest details what Arjun actually does in a match: a beginner-friendly power type whose damage depends on chaining a mix-up into another mix-up, which sets him apart from the roster's existing grapplers.

Capcom held a playtest of Street Fighter 6's new character Arjun at its Tokyo Game Show 2026 booth. Arjun is an Indian yoga master and former police officer on the run after being falsely accused of killing a colleague. He is a Power, Mid-Range, Normal type with no unique gauge. His command grab, Demonic Interrogation, deals only white damage on its own but converts with follow-ups.
Arjun was playable at the Capcom booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026. He is listed as a Power, Mid-Range, Normal type, and he carries no unique gauge or stocks, which points toward an accessible entry point for new players.
His Impact and Parry animations have him absorbing hits with his body, and his white pants pick up dust during offline battles. On victory he dances with both arms stretched out and speaks to the gods.
His command grab, Demonic Interrogation, deals only white damage when it lands once and recovers immediately, but strikes, throws, or a second Demonic Interrogation convert the white gauge into real damage.
