Wherever I Could Rome…

Of all of Avenue Fighter 6’s new World Warriors, maybe none has fairly made the impression on social media because the mountainous warrior and lover of all issues stunning, Marisa. Ever since Avenue Fighter followers first noticed her in motion, Marisa quick turned some of the talked-about characters, full with an enormous array of fan artwork and greater than few fluttering hearts.

An Italian lady of Greek ancestry, Marisa (Ma-Ritz-ah) claims to have lineage traced to the soldiers of previous, mirrored in her stoic visible look, golden laureled gear, and the largest case of literal “helmet hair” in historical past. However, regardless of her domineering smash-mouth look, Marisa works within the intricate arts, creating jewellery for the style market. With Marisa, Manon, JP, and Kimberly, one can definitely see Capcom’s Style-Foward goals with Avenue Fighter 6.

As you possibly can see from the above matchup, Marisa is just not messing round on the subject of her combating type — urgent ahead with devastating punches and forearm strikes, hitting with the facility of a mack truck with pace to match. Whereas Marisa is a form and noble lady at coronary heart, her combating type suggests a no-nonsense, “Sorry, however you confirmed up” strategy to the scrap. Combining uncooked energy and relentless ahead momentum, I anticipate Marisa to be one among SF6‘s hottest characters within the early going.

Like lots of the Avenue Fighter 6 World Warrior themes, “Pankration” is a beat-heavy observe, punctuated by horns and synth melodies. A gap salvo ultimately provides approach to breakdowns heralding Marisa’s Grecian roots, earlier than the beat drops again in as closely as our gurl’s fists on the ol’ noodle. I don’t suppose this observe fairly captures Marisa in addition to a number of the different themes, however I do suppose it’s a fairly infectious piece all the identical.

Avenue Fighter 6 launches June 2 on PlayStation, PC, and Xbox. Make sure to take a look at the themes for Ryu, Chun-Li, Luke, and Jamie, Juri and Kimberly, Blanka and Dhalsim, and Manon, in our earlier articles.
