Street Fighter 6’s World Tour mode is something of a dream come true. You can wander the world of Street Fighter, talk to notable characters from the universe, and even become the student of your favorite Street Fighter 6 characters.
However, while many of these masters will be introduced as part of the main story, not all of them will be so easily acquired. This guide will show you where each master is and tell you when you’re able to acquire them. We’ve organized the masters based on when they become recruitable in the world tour mode.
Update Jul 26, 2025:We’ve now on the second season of Street Fighter 6 characters, which means we have a bunch of new masters to acquire. The last two - Akuma and M. Bison - involved quite a few steps to unlock, as well. If you are struggling to find these characters, this guide will give you everything you need to obtain them as masters.
