Month: September 2016

Revealed on the Capcom Channel during the course of Tokyo Games Show, a variety of special costumes have been revealed for Street Fighter V. The first costume is a more human design for Necalli, one where he wears samurai armor and has long flowing hair which turns bright yellow upon V-Trigger activation. This costume was actually designed by Capcom Cup 2015 winner Kazunoko, as the mystery prize for winning last year’s competition along side the massive check for $250,000. The winner of this year’s Capcom Cup will also design a costume for a character of their choice.

The other costumes are a special collaboration between Red Bull and Capcom, with Chun-Li and Ryu receiving special Red Bull branded attire to wear in battle. Unlike the Necalli outfit which looks pretty damn cool, these Red Bull designs are hideous. Chun-Li looks like someone doing a terrible Shantae cosplay and Ryu is dressed like the whitest 80s rapper you’ve ever seen. You can check them out in the gallery below but trust me, I doubt anyone will be using these costumes in Capcom Cup 2016. Check out the Twitch clip from kagecchi and the video from XusesGB to see Necalli’s new costume in action. There is also a planned a Story Mode update which will allow players to toggle between the costumes characters wear in Story Mode.  Currently, these are all planned for a release in November.
