Season 3 of Capcom’s fighting game, Street Fighter 6, will add a fan favorite fighter to the roster alongside other returning characters, based on a new rumor.
Fighting game commentator and content creator XLVCKY took to Twitter/X to share that season 3 of Street Fighter 6 will bring more returning characters to the roster, and that one of them will be either of Alex, Hugo, and Poison.
While he didn’t clarify the source of his information, given the content creator’s status as a fighting game commentator, it’s possible that has some sources linked to Capcom. Besides one of Poison, Hugo, and Alex joining Street Fighter 6, he also said that a blonde male fighter will also be added to the the game’s roster of characters via season 3.
Besides Alex, the other blonde male characters that come to mind are Charlie Nash and Cody. As far as the storyline is concerned, Nash was last seen in an explosion when his body gets overflowed after absorbing Bison’s Psycho Power in Street Fighter 5. While it is heavily implied that his sacrificial act to ensure Bison’s end led to his own death, his status is officially mentioned as “unknown” by Capcom, leaving the door open for a possible return. His body is shown intact in the Arcade Mode ending of Street Fighter 5. Given how even Bison, who met his end in the fifth entry, was able to return in season 2 of Street Fighter 6, it’s possible that Nash will also find his way back.
In related news, the recent update 1.016 for Street Fighter 6 brought some welcome changes to the game’s balance. Capcom has tweaked defensive moves, especially those with invincibility and low-risk mechanics, such as Jump Cancels and some Crouching Heavy Kicks. The Crouching Heavy Kick for characters like Jamie, Ken, Cammy, Akuma, and M. Bison now increased recovery, making them more unsafe on block. Read about it here.
