A new wave of speculation from a "Street Fighter 6" subreddit post is fueling excitement about what could be included in the game's Year 4 Character Pass.

According to the leak, we should expect the unexpected crossover additions in the game, most notably Tifa Lockhart from "Final Fantasy VII."

Vega, Gouken, and Haggar Potentially Returning

According to the rumor, several familiar names from Capcom history may be on the way, including Vega (also known as Balrog/"Claw"), Gouken, and Mike Haggar from "Final Fight."

This would continue the franchise's tradition of releasing classic "Street Fighter" fighters with characters from Capcom's wider universe, if ever the leaks are true.

Tifa Lockhart Would Be a Major Crossover Moment

According to Wccftech, the biggest surprise in the leak is the possible inclusion of Tifa Lockhart from "Final Fantasy VII." If she joins the roster, it would mark the first time a non-fighting game character appears in a mainline "Street Fighter" entry.

That crossover alone is driving much of the online discussion, as it would represent a major collaboration between Capcom and Square Enix, something we haven't seen before in "ST" titles.

Leaker Credibility Fuels the Discussion

Interest in the rumor increased because the same source allegedly predicted earlier DLC characters like Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui before their official announcements. While not confirmed, this track record has made fans more willing to take the leak seriously.

Still, Capcom has not acknowledged the claims, and no official roadmap for Year 4 content has been revealed.

Timing Clues Point to Possible DLC Window

According to GameSpot, some fans note that the final Year 3 DLC character, Ingrid, is expected in Spring 2026. This would naturally open the door for a new DLC cycle shortly after.

There's also speculation that announcements could arrive during Summer Game Fest on June 5, following Capcom's usual pattern of revealing new character passes at major gaming events.
