The two Street Fighter 6 characters were recreated under Capcom's supervision, and each pack costs 2,200 yen including tax. Steam store pages for both went live on November 6 with wishlist registration open. The packs support Japanese and English voices, using the in-game voices from Street Fighter 6, and each character's language can be switched separately in the settings screen. The headline feature is a technique action, which Infinite Loop calls a first for Desktop Mate: repeated clicks on the character trigger a special move that sends desktop windows flying. Ryu's Hadoken launches any window it hits in its direction of travel, and Chun-Li's Spinning Bird Kick pushes windows in and blows them away. Blown windows bounce off the screen edges and stop, and Infinite Loop states the data inside them is unaffected.","whyItMatters":"The DLC turns Street Fighter 6's Drive Gauge, Burnout and Stun states into desktop mascot behavior, so the collaboration carries the fighting game's systems rather than just its character models.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eClicking further upgrades the technique action to \u0026#34;Super Art Lv3,\u0026#34; where Ryu launches windows with the Shin Shoryuken and Chun-Li with the Kikosho (Shouten Ranka). Special moves sometimes turn into an \u0026#34;OD version\u0026#34; wrapped in a golden aura. Each OD move consumes Drive Gauge, and when the gauge empties the character enters a gray \u0026#34;Burnout\u0026#34; state. Clicking then makes the character collapse, \u0026#34;Stunned,\u0026#34; a Desktop Mate-specific effect that wears off if left alone for a while.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechnique actions trigger only on repeated clicks, and the characters otherwise sit on windows, play with the mouse and tell the time.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindows that fly off bounce off the screen edges and eventually stop.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe multi-character function shows Ryu and Chun-Li together, and they can be paired with the free default character Aieltan or other owned DLC.

That is a monetized gag, not a utility.","twitterPost":"Desktop Mate's Hadoken DLC turns windows into targets, but Infinite Loop says the data inside them is unaffected. A joke with a safety net.","threadsPost":"Desktop Mate adds Ryu and Chun-Li as clickable fighters whose special moves send windows flying, and Infinite Loop says the files inside are unaffected. The move is a paid gag with a safety net, which makes the 2,200 yen packs feel like a toy rather than a tool.","newsletterBlurb":"Infinite Loop is bringing Ryu and Chun-Li from Street Fighter 6 to Desktop Mate on November 12 at 2,200 yen each. The packs add a technique action that sends windows flying, with Super Art, OD and Burnout states borrowed from the fighting game.","attributionJson":"[{\"source\":\"Denfaminicogamer\",\"url\":\"https://news.denfaminicogamer.jp/news/261106n\",\"title\":\"Street Fighter 6's Ryu and Chun-Li Desktop Mate DLC launches November 12; Hadoken and Spinning Bird Kick send windows flying\"},{\"source\":\"PANORA\",\"url\":\"https://panora.tokyo/archives/162190\",\"title\":\"Desktop Mate Street Fighter 6 Ryu DLC and Chun-Li DLC Set for November 12 Release, Supporting Japanese and English Voices\"}]","lintFlagsJson":null,"lintHits":0,"costUsd":0,"inputTokens":17817,"outputTokens":1280,"status":"published","repairAttempts":0,"nextRepairAt":null,"factsAttemptedAt":1793946320,"createdAt":"2026-11-06T06:20:27.000Z","publishedAt":"2026-11-06T06:23:51.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-11-06T06:23:51.000Z"},"cluster":{"id":"c_a062612c1acbe34315f06907","canonicalTitle":"『スト6』「リュウ」と「春麗」の『Desktop Mate』DLCが11月12日にリリース。波動拳やスピニングバードキックでウィンドウを吹き飛ばす","representativeArticleId":"a_82344a876a213a09b3601cc9","sourceCount":2,"writtenSourceCount":2,"writeAttempts":0,"isSolo":false,"entitiesJson":"{\"anime_titles\":[],\"manga_titles\":[],\"work_titles\":[\"Street Fighter 6\",\"Desktop Mate\"],\"studios\":[\"Capcom\",\"Infinite Loop\"],\"people\":[\"Ryu\",\"Chun-Li\"],\"type\":\"release\",\"domain\":\"games\",\"is_roundup\":false}","contentType":"news","status":"published","firstSeenAt":"2026-11-06T03:00:38.000Z","lastSeenAt":"2026-11-06T03:10:05.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-11-06T06:23:52.000Z"},"attribution":[{"source":"Denfaminicogamer","url":"https://news.denfaminicogamer.jp/news/261106n","title":"『スト6』「リュウ」と「春麗」の『Desktop Mate』DLCが11月12日にリリース。波動拳やスピニングバードキックでウィンドウを吹き飛ばす"},{"source":"PANORA","url":"https://panora.tokyo/archives/162190","title":"Desktop Mate ストリートファイター6 リュウ DLC・春麗 DLC 11/12にリリース決定　日本語・英語ボイスに対応"}],"entities":{"anime_titles":[],"manga_titles":[],"work_titles":["Street Fighter 6","Desktop Mate"],"studios":["Capcom","Infinite Loop"],"people":["Ryu","Chun-Li"],"type":"release","domain":"games","is_roundup":false},"keyFacts":["Infinite Loop will release the Desktop Mate Street Fighter 6 Ryu DLC and Chun-Li DLC simultaneously on November 12, 2026.","Each Desktop Mate Street Fighter 6 character DLC costs 2,200 yen including tax.","The Ryu and Chun-Li DLC supports Japanese and English voices taken from Street Fighter 6.","Desktop Mate is distributed on Steam for Windows 10/11 (64-bit) and macOS Tahoe 26 or later.","Infinite Loop is sponsoring Street Fighter League JAPAN 2026, which has used Street Fighter 6 since the 2023 season."],"pageLinks":{"healthSlugs":["street-fighter-6","desktop-mate","capcom","infinite-loop","ryu","chun-li"],"storySlugs":[],"entities":[{"slug":"street-fighter-6","supported":9,"disputed":0,"contradicted":0,"unverified":56,"overall":"green","story_count":57,"has_dossier":true},{"slug":"desktop-mate","supported":2,"disputed":0,"contradicted":0,"unverified":35,"overall":"green","story_count":20,"has_dossier":true},{"slug":"capcom","supported":11,"disputed":0,"contradicted":1,"unverified":66,"overall":"red","story_count":122,"has_dossier":true},{"slug":"infinite-loop","supported":0,"disputed":0,"contradicted":0,"unverified":5,"overall":"unverified","story_count":9,"has_dossier":true},{"slug":"ryu","supported":0,"disputed":0,"contradicted":0,"unverified":2,"overall":"unverified","story_count":2,"has_dossier":true},{"slug":"chun-li","supported":0,"disputed":0,"contradicted":0,"unverified":1,"overall":"unverified","story_count":1,"has_dossier":false}],"stories":[],"entitiesOk":true,"storiesOk":true}}
