Street Fighter 6: Arjun's gameplay trailer broken down

Capcom lifts the veil on Arjun's mechanics with a new gameplay trailer for Street Fighter 6. No more silhouettes and vague teasers: this time, we see the moveset in action during a real fight.

The video confirms the character's identity as a heavy fighter. His Arm of Justice and Cruel Shoulder show frames that clearly sacrifice speed for power, along with that recoverable damage system that punishes passive blocking. The real showstopper remains the Divine Pillar: the pillar of earth triggers with a delay if you hold the button, and the trailer chains it into Justice Beyond, where Arjun grabs the pillar to swing it at his opponent. Visually, it's one of the most spectacular combos seen in a Street Fighter 6 DLC trailer recently.

This is a far cry from the character's first reveal, which was purely contextual and focused on his lore as an Indian cop wanted for a murder he didn't commit. This new trailer, however, speaks directly to competitive players: input reading, punish counters via Indomitable Defense, and a look at all three Super Arts, including the devastating Yaksha's Order Level 3.
