Arjun is an Indian yoga master and former police officer on the run after being falsely accused of killing a colleague. He is a Power, Mid-Range, Normal type with no unique gauge. His command grab, Demonic Interrogation, deals only white damage on its own but converts with follow-ups.","whyItMatters":"The playtest details what Arjun actually does in a match: a beginner-friendly power type whose damage depends on chaining a mix-up into another mix-up, which sets him apart from the roster's existing grapplers.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eArjun was playable at the Capcom booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026.

Capcom's grappler for Street Fighter 6 pays out only after the player commits to the next hit, which shifts his value from the grab itself to what comes after it.","newsletterBlurb":"Capcom brought Street Fighter 6's new character Arjun to Tokyo Game Show 2026 as a playtest, and the impressions describe a Power, Mid-Range, Normal type with no unique gauge. His command grab, Demonic Interrogation, deals only white damage on a single hit, but strikes, throws, or a second grab convert that into damage comparable to Manon or Zangief. All Super Arts function as reversals, though he has no move matching OD Shoryu.","attributionJson":"[{\"source\":\"Inside\",\"url\":\"https://www.inside-games.jp/article/2026/09/17/187903.html\",\"title\":\"Justice!?
