The new character is called Sylvie and she appears to be able to use electromagnetic powers in her attacks. She is dressed in a cute outfit, with hair accessories that look like a pair of eyes, and has a cheerful and lively demeanor. A report from Shoryuken states she appeared in an alleged leak as part of the Official Invitation team. The leak claims to be a character select screen that showcases all 50 fighters. Other than Sylvie's team, two other teams are also said to be new.
