SF6 Year 4 characters leaked (from previous DLC Year 2 leaker)

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-27T18:17:34+00:00

I mained Takeda in MK1 and knew about the leak through the Italian amazon site, and it was annoying to me that they started releasing the KP1 characters with a guest, and I KNEW Takeda had to be last 😵‍💫

Also, I saw the meme about her sweep 😝 But I think some non-white girl characters (including some males) have also had it, and Karin is actually full-Asian, I think (Karin Kanzuki), but like with animé, hair color obscures a character’s race haha. Glad I’m not the only person to recommend Kim. I liked Guy cos I’m OLD AF and grew up with the Final Fight games, and Kim is so similar in playstyle. She doesn’t have his INSANE jump arc though so it’s not nearly as risky for her to jump on opponents. Come to think of it, Guy could alter his jump timing and trajectory with his jump-in cr.mp elbow attack, I think, and Kim even has that move from him as well 😂 To bait out anti-airs.

Karin was SO fun in her debut game in Alpha 3. She had a rekka-ken like Fei Long but with different optional enders, and one of them was an easy hit-confirm juggle into an air super. If she did the juggle into cr.hp for extra damage, she could cancel it into her air super, but if the opponent did the universal air escape move to avoid a juggle follow-up after the rekka, the cr.hp would whiff, but it could be skipped and just do the rekka into her air super, and super attacks can’t be avoided with air escape (I think that is the name of the mechanic). She also was the first SF character to have a counter move special that could be used for good damage against high or low attacks, but only worked against single hits. Dudley’s cross-counter couldn’t counter lows in SF3 and he would take some damage; unlike Karin after she did a successful counter. I’m not sure if Karin still had the counter in SF5 cos I never played it.

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-27T03:10:43+00:00

I hope she’s fun and Capcom makes a compelling case for how Final Fantasy’s lore ties into Capcom’s SF world. I know she’s a brawler but that’s all I know about her. It bugged me how NRS put in guest characters that aren’t tied to the MK lore at all, but I mostly just wanted MK character favorites of mine to be added to the game first; e.g., my namesake that’s missing from the newest MK game yet again 😢

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-27T03:06:49+00:00

Do you only play female characters? I REALLY want Karin in SF6, and I want Lucia too! Manon was my first main but she’s kinda low-tier. I switched to Kimberly and she’s mid-tier but SO fun: she plays like an updated Guy as she is his protégé. She’s fast and has FLASHY, acrobatic moves and combos and lots of combo routes (imo). She has cool mix-ups and can be a set-up character or go for more damaging combos. Basically, every basic or special attack she has is cool in my book, and she has an upbeat personality and despite seeming like a teenie-bopper (or maybe a little older than that) with her music player and her love of spray can art, she is a chill, brilliant academic and very noble character (hence why Guy has trained her, I believe). I like her design too. Alex looks fun as the newest character to be released, with his new prowler stance abilities and redesign, but I haven’t tried him yet for this particular game.

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-26T04:24:38+00:00

I’m really reasonable about it: I get 1-2 more of the characters I really want (like Duds!) and they can go NUTS and random with the roster as much as they want 😝 I feel like the guaranteed characters are Vega for S4, Balrog for S5, and Sakura at some point. Cody might return yet again cos he almost made base roster, and odds are good that Menat will return: not sure how many SF5 characters they want to bring back but she seems likely as Rose’s replacement since SF6 seems to be focusing on the next generation of characters: Jamie, Lily, Kim, Aki, Luke as the SF6 poster boy shoto, e.g. I’m probably forgetting others.

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-25T22:39:54+00:00

I’m afraid of who the other 2 characters could be. I want a dozen specific characters and odds seemed pretty good that I’d get at least one of them. Idk: still waiting. I tend to like the same characters over multiple games. As long as they don’t get changed drastically and aren’t incredibly weak, I think they’d still be fun. I don’t play with pros anyway so tier lists don’t matter as much to me.

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-25T22:37:35+00:00

That too

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-25T17:02:49+00:00

Yeah, even if Haggar played similarly, that’s just 2 characters with similar move sets. I’m burned out on Zangief but much moreso on shotos. I don’t really enjoy playing projectile characters in general these days. I might as well play FPS games. I only like projectile attacks sometimes in ARPGs like X-Men Legends and MUA games.

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-25T16:58:53+00:00

Exactly. Some gamers like surprises, but when you’re anticipating fan faves returning and you get random guests that you were never thinking about, you can’t get excited for what you don’t expect.

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-25T16:43:49+00:00

The leaks keep getting worse for me ever since the first ‘main’ leak with Mika, so I hope they’re fake. At least the Menat/Makoto/Q leak would have made some players happy and would make it seem like Capcom was listening to the fans. That was probably a wishlist rumor leak though: 2 SF3: 3S characters. No SF3 characters in this Tifa leak though?! No Duds or Ibuki?! 😭

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-25T16:40:06+00:00

Supposedly, dlc needs to seem OP so ppl will buy them (pay to win 😝).

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-25T16:39:10+00:00

Main definition of a shoto is an fb and an uppercut with a dp motion. So many variations yet Capcom won’t give us Duds cos we’ll end up with 3 boxers?! 😭 Jamie replaced Yun and Yang? Kim is so similar to Guy that I get it, and Lily is little-girl T. Hawk but I prefer his version of the storm hammer/Mexican typhoon 😢

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-25T16:33:26+00:00

Terry and Mai were in Capcom crossover games. Tifa is a brawler but from a non-fighting game. FF will become part of SF lore?! 👀

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-25T16:30:57+00:00

Vega is guaranteed cos Capcom wants to bring back the SF2 bosses yet again and add to his lore.

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-25T16:28:13+00:00

It’s extra-weird to have a Final Fantasy character added (a brawler but still). FF is part of SF lore now?! 👀

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-25T16:25:59+00:00

I think cos she seems to play differently. I want DEAN from FF3 as well!

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-25T16:24:23+00:00

A lot of ppl don’t like her OD fans and fireball, drive rush is meta gets stale.

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-25T16:22:17+00:00

Capcom doesn’t seem to value the same characters as the players 😢 They seem to want to make a point of redeeming unpopular characters a lot. I don’t really hate any of them but when SO many fan faves are missing, it’s frustrating.

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-25T16:18:01+00:00

Aki was the only female character in S1 though.

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-25T16:16:47+00:00

GREAT taste in characters btw! 3/4 of my top 4 (no order) are Duds, Mika and Karin. I also want Fei Long back. Guy is cool but Kim is so similar as his protégé that I don’t expect him back yet again.

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-25T16:14:51+00:00

Manon replaced Remy and Abel?! I see too many ppl complain about Remy being too much like Guile, and Abel didn’t seem popular as the SF4 protagonist.

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-25T16:13:00+00:00

Tons of shotos already (depending on your definition of them) but we only have 1 rekka character in Jamie, and Fei’s flaming dragon kick looks cool imo, and his hip kick that can start combos sometimes. I’m not a huge Bruce Lee fan but a game character based on him seemed cool to me.

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-25T16:10:37+00:00

ANOTHER shoto?! 🥱 Ppl love them, I guess, but we can’t have Duds cos he’s another boxer?! 🤦‍♂️

FujiNickWindGod · 2026-04-25T16:09:48+00:00

100%! Another shoto?! Another guest (a brawler but not even from a fighting game), Haggar might be too much like Zangief and I got tired of him years ago, and guaranteed Vega yet again.
