"Fight with all your heart!"
― Marisa (Street Fighter 6)

Marisa (マリーザ, Mariiza) is a fighting game character from the Street Fighter games, appearing as one of the new characters in Street Fighter 6.

Biography[]

Appearance[]

Marisa has bob-length red hair styled to look like a Spartan helmet - one of which she carries around with her for her intro - and has a gold necklace with a pendant styled in the shape of a helm too. She's very statuesque with a stocky build, and wears a gold-trimmed black attire, which consists of a sports top, shorts styled like a cingulum militare, and foot guards. She also has red wraps on her wrists & calves, wears red lipstick & nail polish, and has a beauty mark just under her left eye.

Personality[]

As anyone would expect, she is large, fierce, strong and intimidating, but despite her size she has a passion for designing jewelry, and an ironic fear of heights.

Concept[]

During Street Fighter V's development, the idea of a character with a muscular body juxtaposed with an attractive face was proposed, most prominently with concepts for Gen's apprentice and Seth's female body. Marisa was designed as the 'advanced form' of the idea[4]. Interestingly, Seth's Brutal Impact, obtained by using a Tanden Engine Install Art on another Seth, bears a heavy resemblance to Marisa's own Gladius.

Story[]

Background[]

Street Fighter 6[]

An up-and-coming jewelry designer from Italy who claims ancestry to ancient Greek warriors. As a child, she was inspired by a vision of the Colosseum in its prime. Today, she seeks glory with a smile—and an eye for beauty.

Gameplay[]

Fighting style[]

Marisa primarily uses Pankration, a submission-based fighting style that combines wrestling with boxing dating back to 7th Century Greece.

Moveset[]

Marisa is an extremely powerful close-range fighter that can deal massive damage off punishes. However, her attacks are somewhat slow, making it risky for her to attack randomly and get either counter hit or punished. Scutum is a defensive stance that blocks high attacks with a range of followups, including a command grab, a low, and an overhead. Gladius is a massive punch that can be charged for an even stronger secondary hit that breaks armor.
