Street Fighter 6 adding Final Fantasy’s Tifa as DLC character: report

by

Reliable sources suggest that Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII might be joining Street Fighter 6 as a playable character added after the game’s release.

RnK_Clan correctly predicted the arrival of Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui as playable characters in Capcom’s fighting game, revealing this information before it was officially announced.

The second season of downloadable content is rumored to include Tifa, along with Vega and Gouken from Street Fighter, and Mike Haggar from Final Fight.

Leak corroborated by multiple sources

RnK_Clan first brought up this claim in a Reddit comment back in February. It’s gained attention again recently, after a now-deleted Reddit thread mentioned the leak.

Although not officially confirmed yet, other members of the fighting game community, like YouTuber Rooflemonger, have supported the story.

On April 21st, Rooflemonger wrote on Bluesky, addressing rumors about Tifa being added to Street Fighter 6. They stated they only report on credible information and aren’t interested in spreading fake leaks just to get attention.

“But this? There’s actually something to it. I first heard about Tifa quite some time ago.”

Let’s discuss the possibility of Tifa appearing in Street Fighter 6. I generally don’t cover rumors that are clearly false – I’m not chasing clicks like some people. However, this particular rumor seems to have some substance to it. I initially started hearing about it a while ago – you can find more details here: youtu.be/ww11hUEEHSk

So, here’s a little extra detail for you. I’ve heard rumors about Tifa and Vega for a while now. There were also two other names mentioned, and honestly, it’s hard to know what’s true. Just remember to take everything with a grain of salt until we see official trailers.

Rooflemonger confirmed the rumors that Tifa and Vega will be included, but said information about Gouken and Haggar didn’t match what he’d heard. He advised fans not to fully believe anything until official trailers are released.

Adding to the rumors, someone claiming to be connected to Square Enix posted on ResetEra, saying they’ve heard that information about Tifa is accurate. However, this claim hasn’t been confirmed.

Okay, so everyone’s been buzzing about Tifa possibly coming to the game, and I’ve seen the chatter all over the place. But honestly, Capcom hasn’t said anything official about it. Plus, digging through the game files and looking at everything that’s already in there hasn’t turned up a single clue. It’s all just speculation right now, sadly.

It seems likely that if Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy joins Tekken 8, many Tekken fans will be extremely excited. Players have been requesting her as a guest character for a long time.
