Summary
Three years of talks with Square Enix led to Street Fighter 6’s Final Fantasy VII collaboration, with Tifa emerging as the centerpiece after discussions narrowed around Tokyo Game Show.
Year 4 will lean heavily on new fighters rather than returning ones, as Capcom said it wants to expand the brand and reflect newer player bases with characters from India and the Philippines.
Yasmine was highlighted as a fresh addition using a martial art not previously represented in the series, while the team said roster choices were constrained by time, budget and the need for regional and style diversity.
Capcom said it has no specific changes to share on throw loops, though it will keep monitoring balance after past system tweaks such as stricter perfect-parry inputs.
World Tour support ended after Ingrid because of resource limits, while director Takayuki Nakayama said he has been involved with Legendary’s Street Fighter movie for nearly 8 years, including script work.
