Generally, when an almost unstoppable leak spreads on the Web like wildfire, two solutions present themselves to the publisher: either deny the obvious, or confirm by using humor. Obviously, Capcom opted for the second option compared to Street Fighter 6 roster leak. Remember that according to some insiders, the cast should be made up of 22 characters, including the 8 emblematic fighters of Street Fighter II (Ryu, Chun-Li, Ken, Zangief, Dhalsim, Blanka, Honda and Guile).
As residents of Metro City, we’ve all seen things we weren’t supposed to see, but we’re all in this together. We appreciate all the positive reactions. Thank you for the support!

“As residents of Metro City, we’ve seen things we weren’t supposed to, but we’re all in this togethertweeted Capcom. In any case, we appreciate the positive reactions it has received. Thank you for your support !“Capcom clearly validates the leak. Besides, it is not impossible that it formalizes some of the characters during his showcase which will take place on the night of Monday June 13 to Tuesday June 14, at midnight. We also hope that this meeting will be an opportunity to learn more about certain gameplay mechanics, like the famous X-Ray attacks which are reminiscent of Mortal Kombat X.
In the meantime, we remind you that Street Fighter 6 will be released in 2023 on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and PC.
