The source of the leak was a Reddit user with the handle RnK_Clan. Usually, such information is treated with caution, but this time the community took it seriously: this insider previously accurately revealed the second-season fighter roster, including Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui.
If the leak is confirmed, Vega, Mike Haggar from Final Fight, and master Gouken will also be added to the game alongside Tifa.
Such a crossover would be a blow to competitor Bandai Namco and the Tekken series, where fans have long been asking for Tifa to be added. However, Katsuhiro Harada previously spoke about licensing difficulties.
The official announcement of Street Fighter 6's fourth season is expected in early June at Summer Game Fest. All that remains is to wait for confirmation.
