Street Fighter 6 Collaborating With Another Popular Capcom Series

Capcom has announced a new Mega Man-themed Fighting Pass for Street Fighter 6. Last month, the game introduced Ed as its third DLC fighter, making balance adjustments for characters like Jamie, Ryu, Luke, and others. Ed, the Psycho-powered fighter, can now be found in Street Fighter 6's single player World Tour mode, located in a Metro City subway station at night.

Street Fighter 6, which was launched nine months ago, has already featured exciting collaborations with various popular franchises. In a summer collaboration with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, all four turtles were added as player avatar outfits. The game also had a crossover with Final Fight, one of Capcom's lesser-known beat-em-up franchises from the 90s. Additionally, a major collaboration with the popular anime and manga series Spy X Family was introduced to Street Fighter 6 in December.

Now, Street Fighter 6 has introduced a new exciting crossover with Mega Man, one of Capcom's beloved franchises. In a recent trailer, Street Fighter showcased the brand-new Fighting Pass, featuring a special Mega Man gear set that players can dress their avatars in. Along with the iconic blue Mega Man suit, the premium pass also offers five stickers, three titles, three music tracks, an emote, a device wallpaper, and a photo frame. As an added bonus, players can unlock the classic arcade game Mega Man: The Power Battle from 1995 to play in the Battle Hub.

The online Battle Hub area will be filled with Mega Man-themed decorations, including the iconic 2D jumping Mega Man sprite hanging from the rafters. Some Street Fighter 6 players were disappointed that the avatar outfits can only be worn by player avatars and not by the game's roster characters like Ryu and Chun-Li. Due to the variety of sizes and body types of each character, it would be challenging to make the gear sets compatible with all characters without causing visual issues. One possible solution could be to add specific color variations of the crossover character to each character's outfit.

Capcom is known for incorporating crossovers into Street Fighter 6, especially with its own franchises. It will be exciting to see what new content they will bring to the popular fighting game. The highly anticipated fantasy RPG Dragon's Dogma 2, Capcom's upcoming major release, is set to launch later this month. It is possible that a Street Fighter 6 Fighting Pass could coincide with the release of Dragon's Dogma 2. As more titles like Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, and Monster Hunter are released in the future, it seems likely that they will also be featured in crossovers with Street Fighter 6.

Editor's P/S:

The Mega Man-themed Fighting Pass for Street Fighter 6 brings a nostalgic crossover to the popular fighting game. While the avatar gear and other items are exciting additions, the inability to use the outfits on the roster characters is a slight disappointment. Despite this, the collaboration showcases Capcom's commitment to crossovers, which has been a hallmark of Street Fighter 6. The inclusion of the classic Mega Man: The Power Battle arcade game adds an extra layer of retro charm.

It's intriguing to speculate about future crossovers, especially with Capcom's upcoming releases like Dragon's Dogma 2. The possibility of incorporating elements from other beloved franchises into Street Fighter 6 enhances its appeal and keeps the game fresh. Capcom's dedication to collaborations suggests that the future holds even more exciting and unexpected crossovers for the fighting game genre.
