Capcom dropped a trailer for C. Viper in Street Fighter VI during the final moments of Evo USA 2025, and the Super Spy Mom is back with a vengeance.
First introduced in Street Fighter IV, her debut stirred speculation around whether she worked for the CIA or Shadaloo. In the anime The Tides That Bind, she fought against Ryu, Cammy, and Chun-Li under Seth’s orders and even clashed with Cammy during her mission in SFIV. Since then, she’s only had minor appearances in Street Fighter V and also showed up in Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
This time around, Viper is aligned with an organization called SiRN—the same group behind Battle Hub threats like Shin Bison and Shin Akuma. Their mission seems to involve stopping M. Bison and developing countermeasures against Psycho Power.
Viper’s role? Testing SiRN tech on unsuspecting avatars in World Tour mode. As the agency’s Research Director, she doesn’t hesitate to get her hands dirty, even going toe-to-toe with a virtual clone of the dictator. Whether her actions serve the world or lead to ruin remains unclear, but the setting already feels suspiciously familiar.
