Tifa Lockhart Is Joining Street Fighter 6 with a Rebuilt Move Set

Final Fantasy VII's Tifa Lockhart will join Street Fighter 6 as the game's latest guest character, arriving as part of its year 4 slate. Final Fantasy VII director Naoki Hamaguchi said on stage during her Summer Game Fest reveal, “Tifa is a character loved by players all around the world.

That’s exactly why this was done to bring to life a Tifa who truly fights within the world of Street Fighter 6.” Fighting game director Takayuki Nakayama said Tifa will come with her Materia powers “reimagined as a new gameplay system. Everything from her design to movement has been rebuilt as Tifa the Street Fighter.” A short reveal teaser accompanied the announcement, but it doesn’t show her character model or in-action footage; Nakayama said those will be revealed later.

Street Fighter 6's year 4 roster expansion begins this summer and includes World Tour protagonist Bosch plus two new series fighters, Yasmine and Arjun.
