Although the first teaser was revealed back in February, we got our first detailed look at Street Fighter 6 in June 2022 at the PlayStation’s State of Play presentation. A first glimpse at the gameplay revealed the stylized look of the game powered by RE Engine, as well as some unexpected new modes like the street roaming World Tour. After a few more trailers that followed and the closed beta test in October we have been introduced to a lot of Street Fighter 6 characters – so here is the complete list.

List of All Confirmed Characters in Street Fighter 6
While there is no doubt that Street Fighter 6 will feature many legendary characters from the long-running CAPCOM franchise and fresh new fighters we have yet to encounter, only the characters listed below have been confirmed for the time being:
- Ryu – The main character of the Street Fighter series is back again, of course, only this time he looks a little different, older, and more experienced, but with his old usual shoto style of fighting. Maybe a little influence he picked up from Dhalssim and Oro.
- Chun-Li – The first lady of Street Fighter is back as well, and while she also looks a little different, her moves and even the SF2 costume have remained the same.
- Luke – Luke was seen previously as the last new DLC fighter for SFV. We also noticed him in trailers for SF6 as a rival to Ryu where he acts as the possible new main protagonist. Also, the gameplay shown for the World Tour mode was only with him. Coincidence? We’ll see…
- Jamie – Jamie is a new character debuting in Street Fighter 6. According to his official biography on the SF6 website, he is a self-styled resident of Chinatown that aspires to the example set by Yun and Yang, the Twin Dragons and an expert dancer that uses a martial art reminiscent of the drunken masters from many other fighting games.
- Guile – Another SF2 icon is coming back! Guile performs many of his classic moves, but there are a couple of new ones in his arsenal… and it seems that he is sporting a very weird goatee now.
- Ken – You didn’t expect this to go without him, did you? Although he seems to have given himself over to alcoholism, SF6’s Ken, who is slowly starting to resemble Terry Bogard more and more, is a much different fighter in this sequel.
- E.Honda – After the initial new characters, SF2 legends start appearing and flooding the SF6 roster. The favorite sumo wrestler that likes baths is back!
- Dhalsim – Yoga, yoga, yoga, yoga, yoga!
- Blanka – Yes, even Blanka is in SF6! He is now… a tour guide? Apart from the fact that he now wears overalls, good ol’ Blanka is pretty much the same wild man that we remember, even his iconic SF2 stage is faithfully recreated for SF6!
- Juri – The only character so far that is not from SF2 or a newcomer introduced in SF6, Yuri comes to us from SF4/SF5 era crazy and sadistic as always.
- Kimberly – The brand new girl you saw in trailers, described as “an uninvited student to Guy”, she wants to become a ninja, and besides being young, she adores 80s pop culture.
- Dee Jay – A global dance music star, Dee Jay uses his stylish moves on the battlefield.
- Manon – A super model who is more than just good looks. Crushes her competition.
- Marisa – A jewelry designer who is also incredibly buff.
- JP – Head of NGO, JP uses his cane to perform some very powerful moves.
Those are the only confirmed characters – for now. You can learn more about them on the CAPCOM’s official Street Fighter 6 website, and we will continue to update our list once the new fighters are introduced.
Street Fighter 6 is scheduled for a release on June 2nd, 2023 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows, and Xbox Series X|S.
