Capcom has announced an exciting collaboration between Street Fighter 6 and the beloved Mega Man franchise. The latest addition to the fighting game is the Mega Man-themed Fighting Pass, introducing new avatar gear, stickers, music, and more for players to dive into.
Since its inception nine months ago, Street Fighter 6 has been embracing various partnerships with popular franchises. From a summer crossover with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to a nod to the 90s beat-em-up series Final Fight, the game has been consistently delivering fresh content. Notably, the recent crossover with the anime and manga hit Spy X Family was a fan-favorite addition in December.
Now, Street Fighter 6 is taking it up a notch with a major collaboration featuring Mega Man. In a recent trailer, the game showcased the new Fighting Pass and its contents, including a standout 5-piece Mega Man gear set that players can equip on their avatars. Alongside the iconic blue Mega Man suit, the premium pass offers five stickers, three titles, three music tracks, an emote, a device wallpaper, and a photo frame. Moreover, players can unlock the classic arcade game Mega Man: The Power Battle to enjoy in the Battle Hub.
Street Fighter 6 Mega Man Fighting Pass Items:
- 5x Mega Man Avatar Gear
- 5x Stickers
- 3x Titles
- 3x Music
- Emote
- Photo Frame
- Device Wallpaper
- Mega Man: The Power Battle Classic Arcade Game
Adding to the excitement, the online Battle Hub area will be transformed into a Mega Man-themed space, complete with the classic 2D jumping Mega Man sprite. Some players have expressed disappointment that these avatar outfits are exclusive to player avatars and cannot be worn by Street Fighter 6's roster characters like Ryu and Chun-Li. Given the diverse body types and sizes of each character, integrating these gear sets seamlessly would be a challenge to avoid visual glitches. An alternative approach could involve incorporating specific color variations of the crossover character into each fighter's attire.
With Capcom's enthusiasm for crossovers in Street Fighter 6, particularly with its own franchises, the future holds exciting possibilities. As the highly anticipated fantasy RPG Dragon's Dogma 2 nears its release later this month, fans speculate on potential tie-ins with Street Fighter 6. The prospect of collaborations with iconic Capcom titles like Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, and Monster Hunter as they launch in the future is a tantalizing thought for Street Fighter 6 enthusiasts.
