Last night, during Sony's PlayStation State of Play broadcast, Capcom revealed first looks at three Street Fighter 6 characters: Zangief, Lily and Cammy.

It's fair to say Cammy's reveal has drawn the most attention from the Street Fighter community. The popular British special forces operative has a new look for Street Fighter 6, which is going down well with fans, with more than a few nods to previous iterations of the character.

My favourite reference is to the much-loved 1994 Street Fighter 2 animated movie, which saw Cammy handstand on a goon's shoulders, snap their neck, then drop down for a crunching leg attack (that last bit always felt like overkill to me - he's already dead, Cammy!).

In the Street Fighter 6 reveal video, we see one of Cammy's super attacks is a direct replica of the attack from the animated movie:

The references don't stop there. As the Street Fighter community has noticed, Cammy's jacket straps fall in such a way as to ape her classic twin braids from Super Street Fighter 2.
