Terry Bogard
In a groundbreaking move, Street Fighter 6 is welcoming two iconic characters from SNK's Fatal Fury franchise. Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui will be joining the roster, marking the first time in over a decade that these two gaming giants have collaborated.
Terry Bogard, known for his signature cap and "Are you okay?" catchphrase, has been a staple in fighting games since the 90s. His inclusion in Street Fighter 6 is a dream come true for many fans who grew up playing both franchises.
Mai Shiranui
Mai Shiranui, often compared to Street Fighter's Chun-Li in terms of popularity, brings her unique fighting style to the arena. Her addition adds another strong female character to the diverse roster.

Elena
Season 2 isn't just about guest fighters. Two familiar faces from the Street Fighter universe are making their return.
First up is Elena, the capoeira expert from Kenya who debuted in Street Fighter 3. She's sporting a new look with longer hair and traditional African attire. Elena's return has sparked discussions among competitive players, as her healing abilities in Ultra Street Fighter 4 were quite controversial.
M. Bison
Last but not least, the infamous boss M. Bison is back. Despite his apparent demise in previous games, Bison has a habit of returning stronger than ever. As the first character to be released in Season 2, fans won't have to wait long to unleash his Psycho Power once again.
