Summary
Even more guest characters could be coming toStreet Fighter 6, according to a source formerly associated with Capcom.Street Fighter 6dropped last summer, winning fighting game fans over with its hard-hitting action and new World Tour story mode. The game launched with 18 playable combatants, with more being introduced over the past year. The game’s first DLC season included classic series mainstays like Akuma, more recent additions like Rashid and Ed, and a brand-new character named A.K.I.
During last weekend’s Summer Game Fest 2024 livestream, Capcom pulled back the curtain on what fans can expect in Season 2 with a pulse-poundingStreet Fighter 6Year 2 character reveal trailer. This trailer confirmed that Capoeira practitioner Elena is returning to the battlefield, infamousStreet Fightervillain M. Bison is rising from the grave with a more disheveled look than usual, and evenFatal Furyalumni Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranuiare crossing over intoStreet Fighter 6. While Capcom’s World Warriors have clashed with gaming mascots in theCapcom Vs.series and other titles, these will beStreet Fighter’s first true guest characters from another company.
Terry and Mai might not be the last either, as someone has been sharing rumors of even moreStreet Fighter 6guest characters in its third DLC season. The source of these claims is reportedly an ex-Capcom partner who shared the information as a response toStreet Fighter 6havingFatal Furycharacters. They have since deleted their Twitter and Discord posts, but not before they were screenshot and shared by other Twitter users and discussed onr/GamingLeaksAndRumors.
Street Fighter 6 May Have More Guest Fighters After Fatal Fury’s Terry And Mai
The person behind theseStreet Fighter 6rumors has since apologized for their actions and admitted to sharing them out of disappointment over the recently announcedFatal Furycharacters, so fans would be advised to take the information with a grain of salt until more concrete evidence surfaces. Still, the leaker citedTekkenas a possible source of theserumoredStreet Fighter 6guest characters- and the two fighting game franchises have crossed paths before in 2012’sStreet Fighter X Tekken.
Speaking ofTekken,Tekken 7had numerous guest DLC characters likeThe Walking Dead’s Negan,Fatal Furyvillain Geese Howard, and evenStreet Fighter’s dreaded Akuma. This trend of bringing guest characters into fighting games has also been used to great effect by NetherRealm, which recently addedHomelander fromThe BoystoMortal Kombat 1’s roster. Now it looks like Capcom is following this with Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui fromFatal Fury, and if this latest rumor is true thenStreet Fighter 6may see even more visitors in the coming years.
