Street Fighter 6 Adds Arjun to Year 4 Roster on October 13
Arjun is built around stacking recoverable damage, a pressure style that punishes blocking and forces opponents to take risks.

Capcom announced September 8 that Arjun, the second Year 4 character for Street Fighter 6, releases October 13. Arjun is an Indian police officer framed for the murder of his partner Karna. His kit centers on recoverable damage: gray health that recovers over time but is lost if hit before recovery. Many specials accumulate it even when blocked. His moves use yoga breathing techniques, including projectiles, rock-based attacks, a counter stance, and a command grab that converts gray health to real damage.
Arjun's pressure game runs on recoverable damage, the gray health that ticks back up over time and is lost in full if the opponent takes a hit before it recovers. Most of his specials build it even when blocked. His yoga-based moveset includes the Breath Cylinder projectile, whose angle changes with button strength, and the Divine Majesty of Spirit, which plants a rock on the stage to limit movement. His command grab, Fierce Interrogation, deals only recoverable damage, but converts any gray health already on the opponent into real damage.
Outfit 2, his ideal self after the fugitive years, unlocks through Avatar Arcade mode or Fighter Coins. Tifa and Boshi are set for 2027.
