With a storied history of letting fights drag on, does Healing still have a place in the latest Street Fighter game?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Street Fighter 6 - Elena Gameplay Trailer\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2X_QyoQ2YBQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Much like how Healing was Elena\u2019s Super Art III in Street Fighter III and her Ultra Combo II in Street Fighter IV, the ability has been renamed to \u201cRevival Dance\u201d and will serve as her Level 2 Super Art in Street Fighter 6. Instead of giving her healing over time while remaining stationary, Revival Dance starts with a combo that has Elena launching herself forward with a flurry of kicks. Upon landing the Super Art, you can choose whether to continue the combo or sacrifice some damage for a quick heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Healing has been an issue for players since Elena first appeared in Street Fighter III: New Generation. The ability was considered extremely problematic in Street Fighter IV due to the many ways Elena could create openings to use the ability. With careful resource management and spacing, Elena can restore all of her health or use Healing more than once per round.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1341\" height=\"747\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1341px) 100vw, 1341px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250425-47433-001JPG.jpg\" alt=\"Elena healing\" class=\"wp-image-47436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250425-47433-001JPG.jpg 1341w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250425-47433-001JPG-380x212.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250425-47433-001JPG-768x428.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Street Fighter 6 director <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/street-fighter-6-director-says-not-to-worry-about-elenas-healing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Takayuki Nakayama already said that Elena\u2019s Healing wouldn\u2019t be a problem<\/a> back when the Year 2 characters were first announced, but including a restorative ability in any fighting game always comes with risks.
