Cammy finally wears pants in another tribute to the cult classic horror game.

Many costumes in Street Fighter V include special variations as “Easter eggs” that transform them (accessible by holding LP+MP+HP+LK+⇑ before a fight or between rounds). Now, the next costume to receive this treatment is none other than the upcoming “Fiona Belli” costume for Cammy, arriving soon via Extra Battle mode.

The costume is a reference to the 2005 survival horror game Haunting Ground with Cammy dressing up as Fiona Belli, the lead character from that game. While it isn’t officially available yet, Phtm_Miria over on r/StreetFighter has seemingly already discovered the Easter egg for it via datamining.

Interestingly enough, the costume isn’t just a slightly altered version of the original — rather, it’s a different costume altogether: specifically, the “Texas Cowgirl” alternate costume for Fiona that players received for getting Ending A in Haunting Grounds.

This is an interesting change of pace, considering that the “Fiona B” costume, which simply changes some details of the default outfit, would seem more in line with the usual costume Easter eggs. Could Capcom be making a joke about how Cammy, normally loathe to wear pants, gets an outfit that now has pants, but no shirt…?

For those interested in acquiring said costume, the first piece of it can be earned in Extra Battle mode starting later today.

In the visuals we’ve seen for Dead or Alive 6 so far, many folks will have have noticed that many characters are wearing brand-new outfits. However, that doesn’t mean that their classic costumes won’t be in the game, as this new batch of screenshots from Famitsu demonstrate.

The screenshots below specifically showcase the classic costumes for Kasumi and Leifang. Both of these character are sporting totally brand new default outfits for this game, so seeing some of the classic outfits return will be good news for some fans. In addition to this, we also get a look at a new costume for Zack.

It’s nice to see these costumes as they appear in the new game; producer Yohei Shimbori has previously confirmed that characters will still have their classic costumes in DOA6. (The rest of the screenshots, on the other hand, are ones we’ve already seen before.)

Dead or Alive 6 is coming to PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One in early 2019.

With Nintendo releasing amiibo in time for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, some may be wondering what these figures will do in the new game. Now, it seems that they might be used to actually unlock the characters for use.

This new information was revealed in Best Buy Canada’s store pages for the amiibo for Wolf, Inkling, and Ridley. The overviews for each figure state that the player can unlock these characters for play simply by tapping their amiibo to the Switch’s NFC touchpoint.

Prior to this, producer Masahiro Sakurai already hinted that unlocking characters would be simpler for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate; it seems that this method may be part of that. It may also be likely that the previously-released amiibo for other characters may also be used to unlock some of the playable fighters in the game.
