One of the main draws for a fighting game beyond gameplay and visuals is the roster of characters players will actually control when they start hitting buttons and pulling off combos. Whether it’s flashy designs, intriguing newcomers, or the iconic characters that have helped build an established franchise, a fighting game is only as interesting as its core lineup of fighters.
Capcom has slowly been showing off more Street Fighter 6 content since its initial big showcase during June’s PlayStation State of Play, revealing new characters, detailing mechanics used in the battle system, and giving players a deeper look at the immersive single-player mode that will give players the ability to create their own fighter.
Soon after that first trailer dropped, a number of seemingly accurate leaks dropped, including concept art that might detail the entire starting roster and gameplay of at least one additional character.

The leaks began spreading so quickly that Capcom even released a statement that, while not directly confirming all of the leaks, essentially warned fans that “things we weren’t supposed to see” were being shared, and thanked them for the positive response to the game so far.
It took a few months, but Capcom finally pulled open the training gym’s doors, and with the World Tour underway, so came with it the World Warriors and some additional newcomers. In fact, we now know the entire base roster of 18 fighters that will be available when the game launches in 2023 on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
There are still a few leaks that haven’t been cleared up just yet, but now it is looking like everyone else will either be DLC or a surprise addition. So here are all of the confirmed and leaked characters for SF6.
