Sagat was added to Street Fighter 6 on the 5th of August 2025 and has already been putting in the work as Punk was able to use him to win the Tampa Never Sleeps weekly while the young EnzoTheHokage used the character to win the FlyQuest tournament for the West Coast.
Japanese pro player, Bonchan, is already practising the character and it is possible to see him in upcoming tournaments like the Esports World Cup LCQ.
The man who first brought him to the fore for fans was wrestler Kenny Omega, who was used to play the role in the teaser for season 3 which gave people the lineup of characters that would play a part in the game's current season.
Omega shared BTS of how he was made up for his bow as the character. He also used the chance to promote the character and the game.
