Sagat is not in "Street Fighter V" currently, but is there a chance that this could change over the course of Season 2?

Well, the answer to that question at this point seems to be - maybe.

Recently, a tweet from Capcom Fighters drew plenty of attention as it features something that fans of the fighting game franchise closely associate with Sagat.

In the tweeted picture, fans can see some notable players standing in front of a very familiar-looking statue.

Many fans commenting on the tweet quickly made it known that the statue did not go unnoticed and have called for Sagat to be added to "Street Fighter V."

Notably, five more downloadable content characters are coming to the game over the course of Season 2, but whether or not Sagat is one of them remains to be seen.

As Event Hubs noted, the expectation is that the list of Season 2 additions will be made up mostly of entirely new characters as opposed to redesigned franchise favorites, but that may just make it more sensible to add Sagat this year, as he could be something different.

Now, for those fans wondering why Sagat isn't in the game already, producer Yoshinori Ono explained that decision last year during an interview with Famitsu.

Siliconera provided a translation of the interview.

According to Ono, part of the reason why Sagat is currently not in the game is because of his fighting style. Developers deemed his fighting style to be a little too similar to others already on the roster, so he had to ultimately be cut from the initial lineup. 

Plenty of fans were not happy with the decision to cut Sagat then, and they still aren't happy with it now, but developers could fix that by finally adding the Muay Thai specialist in Season 2.

More news about the DLC characters coming to "Street Fighter V" should be made available soon.
