The anticipation is building! Fans are already dreaming about who they want to see in Street Fighter 6's fourth season. EventHubs recently conducted a poll, and the results are in! Let's dive into the characters that players are clamoring for.
The poll, which gathered almost 20,000 votes, offers a fascinating glimpse into the Street Fighter community's desires. It's worth noting that while this isn't an official Capcom poll, it provides valuable insights for the developers.
Before we get to the exciting results, here's how the poll worked. Voters were required to select four characters, reflecting the scope of a full season. The poll included a wide range of characters, from those who have appeared in mainline Street Fighter games (including the Alpha series) to those who were part of the original Street Fighter 1 enemy roster.
There were also categories for story characters who haven't been playable yet, guest characters from other Capcom franchises, and even guest characters from outside Capcom, like Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui from SNK's Fatal Fury and King of Fighters, who joined Street Fighter 6 in its second season.
Now, let's unveil the characters that fans are most excited about!
