SFManiac has already teased the next version (v0260) on his development blog. Expect the following features to drop in Q3 2026:

| Character | Origin | Playstyle | Notable Moves | |----------|--------|-----------|----------------| | Jin “The Rook” Lee | Original (SF6X) | Mid‑range grappler | “Rook’s Gambit” (command grab), “Stonewall Tackle” (armor‑break) | | Mika “Kitsune” Tanaka | Original (SF6X) | Zoner/Projectile specialist | “Foxfire Burst” (homing projectile), “Mirage Dash” (teleport‑like evasion) | | Guest: Ryu Hoshi | Street Fighter IV (re‑skin) | Balanced | Same move set as classic Ryu, but with a unique “Hoshi Wave” V‑Trigger | | Guest: Chun‑Li (Retro) | Street Fighter II (pixel art) | Speed‑oriented | “Lightning Kick” revamped with new hit‑stop frames |
Impact: The new characters broaden roster diversity, giving players fresh match‑up opportunities. Jin Lee’s grappling style adds a “catch‑and‑throw” meta that’s been absent from SF6, while Mika’s zoning tools shift the pacing of many neutral battles. street fighter 6x latest v0255 by sfmaniac free
SFManiac has teased that v0260 will include a "Dream Match" boss rush against a playable Mech-Zangief and Cyber-Akuma. The community is also requesting a stage randomizer and a rework of the Drive Impact system to be less punishing.
Given the pace of development, v0260 is expected by late 2025. Until then, v0255 remains the gold standard for fan-made Street Fighter expansions.

Since the release of v0255 last month, several notable community figures have weighed in:
“I never thought I’d play as Dudley in the RE Engine. SFManiac nailed the hit confirms. It’s not tournament ready, but it’s the most fun I’ve had in training mode since Third Strike.” — Maximilian Dood (streamer, during a fan-mod showcase)
“The Drive Rush changes in v0255? Too strong. But the fact that SFManiac added air parries for Ryu and Ken? Genius. If Capcom won’t do ‘SF6 Turbo,’ the fans will.” — Justin Wong (on Twitter, after playing an offline build) If you want to support SFManiac, he offers
