The reveal \u2014 confirmed on stage by SF6 Director Takayuki Nakayama and Square Enix&#8217;s Naoki Hamaguchi \u2014 had both the fighting game community and Final Fantasy fans going wild overnight.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9dxDjF_dOXc\" title=\"Street Fighter 6 - Year 4 Character Reveal Trailer feat.

Tifa is third in line, meaning Singapore players will have Yasmine and Arjun to sharpen their game with before she arrives.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sf6-year4-dlc-lineup.webp?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Street Fighter 6 Year 4 DLC character lineup featuring Tifa Lockhart, Yasmine, Arjun and Bosch\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Capcom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>How Tifa Plays: Materia Enters the Battle System<\/h2>\n<p>Director Nakayama confirmed that Materia will function as an all-new gameplay mechanic specific to Tifa \u2014 a first for any guest character in SF6. He also teased that &#8220;another iconic Final Fantasy element&#8221; would be adapted for her battle experience, though neither he nor Hamaguchi revealed what that element is yet.<\/p>\n<p>Tifa&#8217;s moveset has been rebuilt from scratch as a Street Fighter character, keeping her Zangan-ryu martial arts foundation. Narratively, she gets transported to a new world where she encounters Street Fighters. One caveat: Capcom confirmed she will <em>not<\/em> receive a World Tour story mode arc, as that mode concluded with Ingrid&#8217;s chapter.<\/p>\n<h2>Platforms and How to Get the Year 4 DLC<\/h2>\n<p>Street Fighter 6 is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. All Year 4 characters \u2014 including Tifa \u2014 can be purchased individually or as part of the <strong>Year 4 Character Pass<\/strong> or <strong>Ultimate Pass<\/strong>. Pass holders generally get better value if they plan to play all four additions.<\/p>\n<p>SGD pricing for Year 4 passes has not been announced yet. Previous year passes on the PS Store Singapore have sat in the SGD $40\u201350 range \u2014 check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.streetfighter.com\/6\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official Street Fighter 6 site<\/a> once regional pricing goes live.

Tifa is exactly the kind of crossover guest who pulls the JRPG crowd in alongside the FGC regulars. She won&#8217;t arrive until early 2027, but Yasmine lands first in August: plenty of time to build that Battle Hub rank before Midgar&#8217;s finest steps through the portal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII is joining Street Fighter 6 as a Year 4 DLC character \u2014 here&#8217;s the full lineup and release dates for Singapore players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":3325,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":[]},"categories":[11,30],"tags":[85,44,45,48,84],"class_list":["post-3327","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-game-news","category-news","tag-capcom","tag-final-fantasy","tag-nintendo-switch-2","tag-singapore-gaming","tag-street-fighter-6"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sf6-tifa-year4.jpg?fit=1106%2C622&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p13AlF-RF","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":3334,"url":"https:\/\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/final-fantasy-vii-revelation\/","url_meta":{"origin":3327,"position":0},"title":"Final Fantasy VII Revelation: Spring 2027 on All Platforms","date":"June 6, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Final Fantasy VII Revelation lands Spring 2027 on PS5, Switch 2, Xbox & PC simultaneously \u2014 no exclusivity.
