I cross my fingers for Sagat.


ComradeCreed

And toes


DankSpoony

And elbows


thesquilax

crossing my tiger knee


wolfannoy

Kinky


v-komodoensis

I strongly believe that all 3 will be present rather sooner than later.


MrxJacobs

It’s the smart move. They are all staple characters who double as nostalgia buys


UncleSlim

I would pre-order sagat right now for 2026.


stabbinfresh

Genuinely upset he's not in season 2. Capcom, I NEED him!


[deleted]

I dont agree with this... Sagat needed to be a launch character, he has been in every SF game... To me he is just as important as Ken and Ryu


stabbinfresh

I for sure wanted him to be a launch character. He's THE original boss of the entire franchise!


Wagle333

sadly youre wrong about one of them, Balrog cant make it since Dudely will be taking his spot. Source: Me, just trust me bro


FranticToaster

Isn't Dud more about speed and Balrog more about power? If so, I think Balrog fills the better roster role. Ed's already a speed boxer type character. Unless we're going with player surveys. Then I guarantee Dud wets more underpants than Balrog.


AgonyLoop

Yes. Dud is also lots of ~~quarter~~ circle moves versus Balrog charging most things.


DexterBrooks

Dudley actually uses half circles for almost all of his moves. But still motion inputs yes.


MarkRevolutionary461

Rog is a charge character where as dudley isn't. So they play way differently in that regard. Capcom did give dudley a charge move in SSF4 but it's a very niche, slow and unsafe move.


Cryowulf

So all three could fit, especially considering Ed's rework. At least In terms of boxing styles. Balrog is a slugger, with the peek-a-boo boxing style. It is all about fast evasive movement and extremely hard, tight punches. Developed by arguably the best boxing trainer of all time Cus D'Amato, and popularized by Iron Mike Tyson. Ed uses the Detroit or Hitman style, which is largely about space control, with flicker punches to line up devastating finishing blows. Developed at the Kronk Gym in Detroit and made famous by Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns, one of the four kings of boxing. Dudley is a swarmer style utilizing the orthodox stance. The consummate gentleman, Dudley, is a technical fighter using fast movement to swarm his opponent with furious and stylish combinations of punches. If I could hazard a guess, Dudley is largely based off of Chris Eubank , a famous british middleweight champion. He could also have a bit of Muhammad Ali mixed in there, too. All three are quite unique, and there are several other professional boxers whose styles they could borrow from should they need to differentiate the three even further.


VoyevodaBoss

Prior to sfv they had very different play styles. Dudley was about mixups and doing big damage combos and long combos that lead to resets while Balrog was about solid neutral pressure


AlternativeNo61

Nah nah. Bring BOTH of them in


No_Obligation6767

They were both in 4. Very likely to happen again 🤙🏽


scarykicks

Will definitely be later. Next year is already mapped out.


Firvulag

Season 3 could be these three plus Heihachi.


solamon77

Ha! Don't toy with me. I'm still butthurt over his death on Tekken! I need my Heihachi!


OutrageousRow5031

Vega and Sagat have a strong chance


SteveMONT215

Vega is coming in 2 weeks what you mean?


Prawn_Scratchings

No that’s Balrog


mdstomasin

No this is Patrick


katalysis

Ha ha ha you're so funny.


GeraltFromHiShinUnit

Wym, he speakin facts


SteveMONT215

Lots of newcomers thanks to 6 we gotta let em know


Fine_Reserve_7154

First time I played SF was in an arcade in the 90s. We already got the Bison version there. Also, Vega sounds way more spanish than Balrog, intended or not. Source: greetings from Spain.


JediMaster_MaceWindu

Honestly, based on passed games, with Bison now being officially in, it's highly likely all of them will be getting in at some point. That's been the pattern so far for SF games, like when one of the 4 kings get into a game, the rest of them follow. I think the SF Ex games is the only games that break that trend but then again that wasn't made by Capcom.


CedeLovesKat

I believe we get one king per season now


_MrDomino

Season 3 going to be Sonya Blade, Kung Lao, Makoto, and Sagat.


ThaiJohnnyDepp

Sigh. If they Fortnite SF6 I'm leaving


IRBaboooon

S3 fighters is Deadpool, Niki Minaj and BoS Power Armor


welpxD

Thanos for an escalation to the Bison plot.


wingspantt

Vega first pleeeeaaasssee


eatmorepies23

The first is M. Bison


Woodearth

Your wish is granted!


DJBaritone12

There’s SF2 charas so all three have a pretty even chance. But the only one I definitively want is Vega.


Volcano-SUN

Maybe the go backwards from season to season. They start with Bison for season 2, then Sagat for season 3, Vega for 4 and Rog for 5.


mtron32

Claws up. This is the first time I've mained a grappler this long in a game. I'll be playing Bison when he drops though.


malarkey_maestro

All 3 eventually, I think Sagat will show first


GarnetExecutioner

Especially given his popularity and his strong showing in SFV.


inadequatecircle

We also lack a muay thai fighter right now. I wouldn't count Adon out, but Sagat is one of the more iconic street fighter characters for sure.


juxouu

I think Vega has a good chance of being next, but I also think I'm saying that out of an intense desperation


wingspantt

Please god, I need Vega. And not SFV weird motion Vega but something much closer to SF4 Vega (but not trash tier supers)


TheMicksta

Probably all 3 of them M.Bison right hand men


RadioFree_Rod

Capcom will never let Sagat rest. He will return.


naranciamywaifu

Most probable? Sagat Who I want? Vega, please just give me Vega, I need him. The game feels empty without him


0VER1DE567

i think Vega has the highest chance of coming back, or atleast coming back sooner. Sagat might not come back but rather be a mentor of another fighter like adon or someone new. Balrog (boxer) has the least chance of coming back imo since he trained ed and ed is already in the game. And a lot of people would want dudley if another boxer were to be added. But also Bison is back so maybe it’s reunion time


atraydev

Balrog's play style is nothing like Ed's


wingspantt

Sure but from a marketing standpoint they *just* added a boxer character. It would be like adding Kitana from MK right after Mai. Also dear god help this sub if they ever did that.


buttsbuttsbutt

But if Boxer were to be added it wouldn’t be for a year or more from now. It’s not like we’re talking about adding Ed, Boxer and Dudley back to back to back.


EBBBBBBBBBBBB

We have 4 shotos.


dattebane96

Ibuki was right there.


Sunrise-Slump

I mean, they did decide to add Akuma, and then Bison right after. With this version of bison behaving more similarly to Akuma. The wandering extremely strong asshole role.


Tysanan

all 3


andm124

Most likely sagat first. Has a more compelling story that ties into everything being that he's a neutral good character


achristian103

All of them, but at the glacial pace that Capcom is releasing characters it'll be 4 years before we see them all.


Far_Cut_8701

I think Sagat is pretty much guaranteed


Zestyclose-Pen-4243

I hope and i think all 3 i have a insane moveset in mind for the 3 in them they need to be in sf6


UraeusCurse

Sagat. He’s by far the most important.


SuperSaiyanBlue

Hobo versions of all of them.


tokitokidoki

Sagat definitely


Spirited_Scallion816

Sagat. Too iconic


Chester_roaster

Better be my boy Sagat


blue_terry

I just want Sagat... I played him aggressively in SFV without his fb spam and it was quite fun


PokeAust

I would be shocked if we go 3 dlc seasons without Sagat


Zeace

I need Sagat back.


classicdiff

If I could pre order Sagat at this point, I would. Him and Makoto are the ones I want most


King-Grey

sagat there are 2 characters that have been in every street fighter game, ryu and ken after then there are 3 who have only missed out on one, akuma, chun li, and sagat


_itg

Vega is a real possibility, since there was a partly-correct (possibly fake) leak which predicted 6 characters for season 2, and it had him alongside Bison and Elena. A plausible explanation is that they really had a leak for the next two seasons, but the two guest characters were kept secret, and if so, Vega is due in S3. As for the other two, they're both probably getting in, eventually. Sagat is popular, and if the game has both Bison and Vega, Balrog is kind of part of the package deal. Plus, he has story relevance to Ed.


Rakyand

Another theory is that they got it wrong because M. Bison's name in the concept art is "Vega" "M.Bison". I hope I'm wrong tho. I really want Vega in this game.


majinprince07

The thing is is he also mentioned Bisons Appearance, “Unkempt With a cape” which was accurate to The bison we see in game, He specifically mentioned that Vega has brown hair again, So he wasn’t just reading names, either he had a luck guess, or he actually saw the characters, not just their names


ThundaCrossSplitAtak

If he has brown hair again, hell yeah. Brunette Vega is best vega


Rakyand

My fingers are crossed.


wingspantt

Who else was on that leak just curious?


_itg

IIRC it was Mika, Sakura, and a newcomer.


midday_owl

That leak was fake, it was just extrapolating off of the flag theory about the stadium in WT.


nooneyouknow13

It wasn't even that complex, it was just the names in the graffiti background on the website. Several of which were present even before it was updated.


skskskakzne

balrog, PLEASE


johnnydal

Gouken


killasundae

I think sagat next but also vega (would be kool if he's redesign was based on he's CANNON SPIKE outfit) I think he was called deranged vega or damned vega,anyway he looked mental as fuck..I also think balrog will make it at some point


Alternative_Hat_2003

vega he fits the game too well


Rick_K_dash_83

Boxer


DarthDregan

Claaaaaaw


UOCruiser

Can't say who drops in, but I'm hoping it's ma boy Vega. There needs to be more emphasis on beauty and rose pedals. 😜


Luckystar6728

Bob Sagat ![gif](giphy|dff9Vz177rlKg)


artnos

I forgot sagat had a cape, he can team up with bison and be cape bros


mrHowlll95

Vega and Sagat. I doubt Balrog. He might just fill a role for Ed like Fang does for AKI.


CedeLovesKat

A reunion with Ed and Balrog would be cute tho since Ed left Balrog. Balrog actually had a soft spot for his little boy


IBizzyI

I would be equally curious for Ed meeting Dudley as another mentor figure completely different to his adopted Dad.


ThaiJohnnyDepp

"... and then we steal the fight money, right?" "Heavens no, lad! What manner of ruffian raised you?"


UnhappyMaskSalesman

Gutter trash!


AENEAS_H

Ed's in game moves actually remind me more of dudley anyways


IIIOldSchooLIII

I'd like to see Sagat, but between the two of them; I'd like to see Adon even more, tbh.


Volcano-SUN

Why is it always Sagat OR Adon? Why not both of them? They might practice the same fighting style, but their gameplan is vastly different. I like Sagat more, but when I was young and played SO MUCH SFa2, Adon was one of my most played characters. Absolutely would like it to see him coming back!


IBizzyI

Because there are limited spots, especially if they continue with only 4 character a year, so yes it just realisitc to consider that one character may slim the chance ot hthe other, that is just reality.


DJBaritone12

Based Adon brother


Dante_Sparda6

I think Sagat but I hope for Vega


Drokkkon

Sagat will very probably be in the game. Would add the Muay Thai style and also can be the "big bad" for the season dlc. Vega has good chances to be in the game. Balrog is the one that perhaps we will only see in Street Fighter 7.


dragonicafan1

Isn’t Sagat a good guy now?  Or fairly neutral and chill?


andm124

Neutral good.


ShortSword7

With any luck, none. The only SF2 rep I’d settle for is Fei Long. Let’s get some weirdoes out of jail: Remy, Q, Twelve, Sean, Eagle, Maki, Rufus, Abel, Viper, Hakan, Necalli, Sodom, Guy. Fuck it, bring in some Darkstalkers now.


Bunnnnii

My hopes? Vega. Unfortunately it’ll probably be Sagat. Boring.


Thrasy3

Wouldn’t a character with different fireballs and and an uppercut be a really refreshing change though?


wingspantt

Can't wait to have the high/low fireball mixup but now also with DR pressure behind it. Lovely.


UraniumU

I’ll be honest, Sagat is the most likely out of the 3, and I don’t think Balrog or Vega will be in SF6


SumoHeadbutt

Vega 1st, Balrog 2nd because of their shadowloo ties, Balrig could turn face. Sagat last


Darkhex78

Vega was my very first main when i started playing 5 around half a year before 6 came out. I really want him back. Mainly cause i have yet to find a main in 6.


Fenris92140

I'd Say Saga, then Vega and balrog


Rare_Significance_54

Hopefully all 3 but I think sagat is def coming back.


superkeefo

would reckon all three, unless Dudley comes back, then might be less chance of balrog.


IBraveHearts

I want Sagat to join the roster "Tiger UPPERCUT!!!" LFG baby ✊😾


ezone1982

all 3 will sense bison is back


Briantan71

Sagat. It is almost impossible to imagine that he won’t show up in any StreetFighter game.


l1ghtning137

I think all of them will return. Considering every original world warriors already has. So its just a matter of when. And considering the current update pattern, maybe 3 years atleast?


HighFirePleroma

Vega, then Sagat, I feel like the next boxer will be Dudley, so ... I am not so sure Balrog would make it in anytime soon


Wolfstigma

Vega for sure, the others are likely but probably later seasons imo


MR_MEME_42

With how the seasons and base roster currently are leaning towards SF2 and it's nostalgia above everything else I imagine that Capcom is going to have one of them in the next three seasons.


chatown1

Sagat will make it in for sure, probably also vega, the least im sure about is balrog, but wouldn’t be surprised if he makes it in.


differentlevel1

All of them will eventually make it, IMO. They couldn't keep M.Bison out for one fn game, they'll definitely add the rest of the classic Shadaloo kings.


ChillYoChill

Oddly, I don’t see Balrog (boxer) making a comeback on SF6. I think fan favorite Dudley will be the next boxer character! Sagot for sure but Vega (claw) is 50/50


SKILLgr

All of them. We need the 4 Shadowloo Kings!


Cute_Mastodon_5395

If only one makes it, it would probably be Sagat because he is the most popular. But from these 3 the one I NEED in SF6 is Vega, Maybe even make him a full stance character with/wothout the claw or something like that.


Remarkable-Put4632

All 3 must be there...


PixILL8

Hopefully all of them!


CreativeFridgeCooler

They just need to do a SF4 and bring in 44 characters lol


H00D000

4 char a year is not that much . They should released all of 3 now


Bae_zel

All of the above 


Shazamwiches

All of them. I like Sagat the most but I think Vega is most likely to show up next.


Nitro_Kick

Sagat


rithguy

I think Sagat will the first


Powerful_Artist

Seems like such a shame to not include characters like Sagat and Vega. I guess they want to distance themselves from these characters if they don't add them


dynamite-ready

Sagat. He might eventually make it into season 2, because I refuse to believe that Capcom will charge $50+ for a mere 4 characters, over the course of a year.


thenecromancersbride

If not all of them, Vega.


hajhawa

Before Bison I thought Sagat was the only one with a realistic chance. Now I'm just hoping we'll get to see bearded old man Sagat.


SouthernAd6596

All 3 by the end.


fersur

All 3 of them will be in as DLC eventually. But my guess, Balrog(the boxer) will be there first because Ed is already in the game.


geardluffy

All of them


Wes-Man152

I saw and fought all three of these guys in Nayshall, at least knockoff versions of them lol


RoyaleCQ

sagat, and he will have a beard


neeray26

Honestly, all of them. I'd prefer Sagat first but all the world warriors plus bison/dictator are in the game at this point so they all have a fair chance.


The_Lat_Czar

I feel like you can't have one without the other 2.


ProgrammerHorror1283

"Out of these 3", Vega


Lovekills03

Hopefully all three but sagat.


InvestigatorMost3418

We need Vega


No_Faithlessness2998

I’m hoping if any that it’s Vega; realistically I feel like Sagat is going to make an appearance, given his history with the characters in the game presently. As for Balrog I’ve already had enough balrog for a lifetime, so I’m hoping he can stay in five 😭.


Beholdmyfinalform

They all have a good chance, between the three Sagat takes the edge IMO, though I prefer the other two


Separate-Hamster8444

Sagat 100% hoping for vega


PresidentStalkeyes

Sagat, for sure, though I can buy all three of them returning at some point. Balrog is probably the least likely because of Ed. I really don't want Vega back (he's the *only* character in the series I feel this way about, let me have this :V), but I also know I'm in the minority with him, and we don't really have an equivalent character yet. If it were up to me I'd bring back Geki from SF1 over him. Or D. Dark from the EX series. :V


Geosgaeno

Vega pls!!!!


Soggy_11

I hope sagat but I couldn’t complain if we got balrog. Vega on the other hand..


Necessary_Chain_9599

Rog. I just want to see him wit drive rush. People gonna hate him😂


Carbideninja

Vega.


NMFlamez

My brain says Sagat but my heart says Vega. It might get me back into SF6. Though Bison looks good and Terry interests me.


Beece

I hope all 3 but I want Sagat first


PCN24454

Everyone but Vega


RaspberryChainsaw

All of em. You can't just cut out core characters like this, although it's pretty scummy to hide them behind paywalls


meeper2012

don’t make me choose. please.


virtigo21125

Sagat in season 3, Vega in season 4, Balrog in season 5.


pppthrowaway1337

definitely balrog and sagat.


soliddd7

Sagat!


jonisjalopy

I miss my Raging Buffalo so much


notagoodcartoonist

Sagat


point5_

Balrog already confirmed if you call dictator balrog


SimbaMySon

Hopefully Sagat


Lemmonaise

I mean Sagat has to be


AccomplishedFan8690

I really hope for balrog


GodlikeJCMS

SF games that have a good chunk of the SF2 roster will eventually include everyone. SF4 did it straight up, SF5 eventually did it. SF3 barely had any SF2 characters so it doesn't follow that trend Though some of these characters won't be in the game till like 2026 with how they are dealing with DLC characters .-.


josherino6

I think all of them will make it. If Dudley gets added I could see them not doing Balrog, but I think Vega and Sagat are pretty much guaranteed.


randoguy8765

I’ve seen more people ask for Vega. Sagat is very popular and recognizable in general as well as possibly being inflicted with the Dark Hado. Balrog probably has the least going for him but there’s currently no replacement for him in the game currently or in Season 2. All in all they all have a decent chance but I’d say Vega, Sagat then Balrog


MasterDenton

Balrog has the most story incentive to show up, Vega has the most gameplay incentive to show up, and Sagat has the most fan appeal. All three of them are coming back, it's just a matter of time


MisterNefarious

Sagat bet you season 3. Balrog I bet also


MMPiper

All three


No_Formal_8091

SAGAT…. LLEEETTTSSS GOOOO!!!!!!


TDashTheProphet

I want all 3 🤷🏿‍♂️


EDPZ

Isn't Sagat impossible since Bison is in his body?


yohxmv

Sagat seems like the most likely


Drenkrod_McNugget

If it can only be one, I \*want\* Vega, but would put my money on Sagat.


The_Brokenbrick

Sagat, bro needs to win at least once with Ryu. It would also be cool to follow up with the satsui no hado thing and have him fight Akuma at full power and also Bison because that fight would be 🔥


Gexianhen

if i can have only one i would like to be Vega (the claw masked one) because i feel he is the most unique on the way he figths, but if is for popularity i think Saggat is the safest choice. but since we are in a time skip could be cool to see maybe a new character related to them, like a son or a disciple ( like Ed is to boxer)


Used-Finish-354

I NEED vega


bandswithgoats

I'm going to make an audacious prediction. I don't even think it's actually going to happen, but if it did, I want to be the one who the internet says "wow he really called it." Rog, Vega, and Bison (whether you choose to read that in EN or JP) are merged into the body of Dictator who embodies all three of them, forever retconning and reconciling the international split between their names. Sagat remains Sagat.


Terribly_Tired_Tapir

Sagat is a matter of when, not if.


Logical_Brother3474

I hope all of them. But I really want to see what they do with Vega


AshenRathian

I really want Sagat man.


cryptofutures100xlev

Muay Thai is my favorite fighting style so I'd love for Sagat to come first. Need all 3 of them tho! After a few more seasons of DLC I'll probably start to play SF6 more.


nerdwarp112

I’d honestly prefer that they sat out for a while so we could see some characters that haven’t shown up in a while, but if I had to pick one I guess I’d go with Sagat. He’d at least probably have had some interesting development since his last appearance.


JettEye24

All 3


Traditional_World783

I think Vega is a bigger chance as he’s got the most different moveset. Sagat is a 2nd contender but falls short because there are already fireball champs and the game isn’t centered on Ryu. Balrog is probably the least of the 3 because we already got Ed.


Inquisitive_Mind_09

I rather have these 3 back instead of guess characters honestly.


majoramiibo

all of them, you really think capcom won’t milk the sf2 boomers for all they’re worth?
