The PlayStation Blog has a new post detailing how Capcom designed these two characters for Street Fighter 6. “We aimed to create an outfit suitable for her speedy and acrobatic movements,” Game Directoy Takayuki Nakayama said in regards to Kimberly’s costume. “Pair her brightly colored gi with sneakers suitable for moving around quickly, and you have Bushinryu-like ninja attire, don’t you think?”
In terms of Juri, players familiar with her from the fourth game will be pleased to hear that she has kept many of her past movies, though they now have different properties. The post offers some greater detail on newly named specials move:
Saihasho, Ankensatsu, and Go Ohsatsu are newly named special moves, but may be visually familiar in the form of the low projectile or jumping axe kick. While these can now be performed without having to expend Fuha stocks, they can be chained together and powered up if a Fuha stock is available.
There’s still plenty of time between now and the release date for Street Fighter 6, which means players could be in store for more announcements. Be sure to keep it locked to Shacknews for the latest from EVO 2022 as well as more on the Street Fighter series.

What exactly is going on here? Does he find his own hands in his peripheral vision a distraction? Is he trying to block opponents from seeing what buttons he's pushing?-

There are situations where you see what a person is doing before hand to understand what your best option is. For example if you get a hard knockdown and see if they are blocking/not blocking you can better plan if you want do to a meaty attack, throw, etc. If you see them mashing buttons in the middle of your combos hoping to dp/super you hoping you drop the combo you can intentionally reset/drop your combo and block and punish them for that.
Other times there are moves that don't translate to the screen because they're hidden in other moves (buffering stuff like 360 motions for grappler supers in the air), etc. Most players won't really make use of the information, but some people at really high level can.
