Capcom released a trailer showing how Elena’s gameplay got refreshed for herStreetFighter 6debut. Rhino Horn returns as a series of forward-moving kicks, and Scratch Wheel is a rising kick useful for keeping opponents off Elena. One of the new moves is Lynx Song, which makes her spin close to the ground and avoid opponents' projectiles. Leopard Snap is a long-reaching attack, and with Harvest Circle, she performs a kick that launches opponents into the air. Mallet Mash, the capoeirista’s classic skill, continues as an overhead, and with Lynx Whirl, Elena performs an extra kick to extend the duration of Lynx Song.

Interestingly, if theStreet Fightercharacterperforms a Leopard Snap, Harvest Circle, or Mallet Smash after Lynx Whirl, these abilities will be boosted. Another move that returns is the Lynx Whirl series of spinning kicks, and Moon Glider is an evasive technique that ends by launching the opponent into the air with a kick. Elena’s Super Arts are Meteor Volley (level 1), an anti-air that allows a follow-up attack on hit; Revival Dance (level 2), a flurry of kicks; and Song of the Grasslands (level 3), which consists of kicks delivered using the power of nature.
