The wait is nearly over — the Muay Thai Emperor Sagat will officially join the Street Fighter 6 roster on August 5, 2025, across Nintendo Switch™ 2, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. As the very first character of Year 3, Sagat arrives with a fearsome new moveset, a stunning new stage, and a legacy that dates back to the original Street Fighter.
Step Into the Ring Early at EVO 2025
Before Sagat’s global debut, fans attending EVO 2025 in Las Vegas (August 1–3) can get hands-on with the Muay Thai legend at the Capcom booth. It’s your chance to be among the first to play Sagat before his official launch!
Sagat’s Devastating Muay Thai Moveset
A towering presence with brutal precision, Sagat brings a refined Muay Thai arsenal to Street Fighter 6, including his signature Tiger Shots and devastating new moves:
- 🔥 High/Low Tiger Shot – Classic fireballs with high/low mix-ups
- 🐅 Tiger Uppercut – A powerful anti-air that can send enemies flying
- 🦵 Tiger Knee Crush – Close the distance with a brutal knee strike
- 🌀 Tiger Nexus – A brand-new special move with three follow-up kicks:
- Mighty Tiger, Greedy Tiger, Nova Tiger
- 🌪️ Tiger Cannon (Level 1 Super Art) – A massive energy blast
- 🐯 Savage Tiger (Level 2 Super Art) – Choose one of four powerful follow-ups:
- Raid, Zenith, Pendulum, or Stomp
- 🧨 Tiger Vanquisher (Level 3 Super Art) – Sagat’s ultimate: a flurry of bone-shattering kicks and a monstrous uppercut
New Stage: Proud Spire
Alongside Sagat’s arrival comes Proud Spire, a serene, temple-themed stage featuring a majestic Buddha statue and calming ambiance — a spiritual contrast to Sagat’s violent power.
Choose Your Look: Two Outfits, Classic & Modern
