About
Menat is a character from the second downloadable content (DLC) season of the fifth installment of the Street Fighter series, Street Fighter V. A fortune teller character, Menat carries a crystal ball with her when she attacks. Online, she grew notable for her flamboyant walk-cycle animation.
Origin
On August 27th, 2017, Capcom uploaded a trailer for the character to YouTube (shown below). She debuted as part of the second Street Fighter V DLC package on the 29th.
Spread
Instantly, fans were taken with her walk animation, a flamboyant, twisting strut, moreso than her abilities as a fighter. A tweet by @HiFight showing just her walk animation gained over 1,500 retweets in less than three days (shown below).

Meanwhile, the character quickly grew popular among players in the series. Street Fighter V players quickly began adapting to Menat's fighting style, pulling off impressive combos with her and her crystal ball.
