Street Fighter 6 is approaching the conclusion of its third season of downloadable content (DLC) with the arrival of Ingrid. However, a recent leak suggests details about the game’s upcoming fourth season.
A now-deleted Reddit post from a reliable source indicates that Season 4 will introduce four new characters, which include Vega, Gouken, Mike Haggar from Final Fight, and Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy 7. This information comes from the RnK_Clan, known for accurately revealing character rosters in previous seasons.
RnK Lucius has built a strong reputation for insider knowledge regarding Street Fighter. The group has hinted at these new characters since last November, although some comments have been removed from Reddit. Additionally, a content creator named Rooflemonger has corroborated some of these claims, mentioning he has also heard about Tifa and Vega.
If this leak proves accurate, it would be significant, as Tifa would be the first character from outside a fighting game franchise included in Street Fighter. While characters like Terry Bogard fit easily within the game’s universe, Tifa would present a unique challenge for integration, potentially linked to Ingrid’s ability to open doorways to other dimensions.
Returning characters like Vega and Gouken present their own intrigue. Mike Haggar’s involvement also raises questions about his age within the game’s timeline, especially since he had already retired in Street Fighter 5.
Despite the leak’s credibility, it is essential to approach this information cautiously, as no official confirmation has been made. Capcom is expected to announce further details about Season 4 in June or July, following Ingrid’s release later this Spring.
