Street Fightercharacters have crossed over into a plethora of fighting and non-fighting games in the past. One wild example can be found in the strategy RPG series for the 3DS calledProject X Zone. That game crosses over characters from franchises within Capcom, Bandai Namco, and Sega.

Players can take command of Ryu and Ken as one example. It’s rare for characters from other fighting games to cross over into this series though, butStreet Fighter 6can change all of that. Are there any characters from classic franchises that should get added as guests, or isStreet Fighter 6’sroster fine enough as it is? Here are four classic male and four classic female fighters that would potentially fit the bill.
8Morrigan Aensland (Darkstalkers)
Starting off is anotherCapcom fighting franchise viaDarkstalkers. Morrigan has crossed paths with manyStreet Fightercharacters over the years. She has been a staple in theMarvel vs Capcomgames, for example.
While it might not make a lot of sense to have a succubus in a coreStreet Fightergame, there are ways to include her without going full demon. They could redesign Morrigan to look more human and wink at the players who know she is hiding a tail, bat wings, etc.
Ayane is one of the many female ninjas, or kunoichi, from theDead or Alivefranchise. She’s more like an assassin which Capcom could use to tie into JP and the Shadaloo organization. Maybe Ayane was hired by Shadaloo to take out JP discretely who has since cut ties with them.
Maybe Ayane could even be looking for Shadaloo just likeKimberly is inStreet Fighter 6. As two female ninjas, they could cross blades as they are on the same path.
6Faust (Guilty Gear)
Faust is one of the wildest characters in theGuilty Gearfranchise. He never shows his face and instead hides behind a paper bag. This has to be one of the best paper bags ever made if he is able to fight without it falling off.

This paper bag gimmick could tie into the gang in the World Tour mode as a lot of the minions wear boxes over their heads. It would be funny if Faust accidentally gets roped into their gang because of his headgear.
5Terry Bogard (The King Of Fighters)
Terry is basically the Ryu ofThe King of Fightersfranchise. Like Morrigan, many characters withinStreet Fighterhave fought Terry before. Capcom partnered with SNK for the crossover series,Capcom vs SNK, multiple times and they are somegood fighting games.
Terry has never properly got intoStreet Fighterthough and now is as good a time as any. Terry is not the flashiest character in his series, unlike the oddball that is Faust inGuilty Gear. However, Terry has a lot of the same spirit that fuels Ryu, Ken, and several others withinStreet Fighter 6that would help him fit in easily.
4Liu Kang (Mortal Kombat)
There are two ends of the fighting game spectrum and everything else falls in the middle.Street Fighteris the poster child for the genre with its vast amount of characters and tight gameplay. On the other side isMortal Kombatwhich features some of the bloodiest combat in all of video games. Even shooters likeDOOMblush at the sight ofMortal Kombat. It’s amazing then that these two juggernauts have never crossed over with each other in a video game.
Since the franchise is getting rebooted viaMortal Kombat 1, maybe Liu Kang could dip intoStreet Fighter 6looking for new champions of Earth Realm. He would, of course, have to pull his punches so as to not murder beloved characters like Blanka.
3Kilik (Soulcalibur)
Kilik is fromSoulcaliburwhich is a fighting game with a gimmick of giving characters weapons. If everyone has a weapon, then there is an even playing field. When a character has a weapon in a non-weapon fighting game, it can cause an imbalance.

For example,Lily has two boomerangs inStreet Fighter 6which give her a good advantage with distance. Since Capcom already broke the rules, they may as well have someone come in fromSoulcaliburlike Kilik. He uses a bo staff which is harmless compared to all of the other bladed fighters in that series.
2Nina Williams (Tekken)
Nina is from theTekkenseries and she is an undercover assassin. Her backstory for coming intoStreet Fighter 6could be similar to Ayane’s. As an assassin, Nina could have been hired to either take out JP or maybe she is trying to gather information about Shadaloo to then assassinate someone else.
It’s important to note thatTekkenhas crossed over with Street Fighter before in the aptly titled game,Street Fighter x Tekken. There was supposed to be aTekken x Street Fightergame too but it was quietly canceled. Instead, years later, Akuma gotintoTekken 7.
1Pai Chan (Virtua Fighter)
Pai Chan is fromVirtua Fighterwhich used to be a biggerfighting game series. It’s sad that Sega hasn’t made a new one in years, but they have at least been updating and re-releasing old games.
It’s hard to choose just one fighter from this franchise but Pai Chan seemed like one of the funnier choices. That’s because she looks a lot like Chun-Li, so it would be great to see them bump into each other and think they’re doppelgängers. Akira would work too as he looks a lot like Ryu.
Street Fighter 6was released on June 02, 2025, and is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
