The recent update to Street Fighter V included a batch of new colors for the characters’ Story and Battle outfits, added colors numbered 11-15 for each. Among these, one of Cammy’s Battle outfit colors is particularly interesting.
Color 15 of Cammy’s battle outfit looks suspiciously like one of the iconic outfits of a certain X-Men team leader. Now, while some would say that this is only coincidence, the accompanying description from Sgt. Ashida adds: “Color 15… You don’t think she can fire off an optic blast, can she?!” This leaves no doubt that this is a shout-out to Cyclops.
In addition to this, color 14 of the same outfit could be yet another X-Men reference. This time, the purple and blue outfit resembles Psylocke, another prominent X-Men character, who has also appeared in various Marvel vs. Capcom titles.
Using Cammy for these shout-outs is fitting, since she was a staple of the Versus series; she debuted her iconic “Killer Bee” look in X-Men vs. Street Fighter long before she returned to Street Fighter in the home version of Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold.
The question now is whether or not this is a hint regarding the inclusion of X-Men characters in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite! Despite being series icons, there’s speculation that X-Men characters may not make the cut in MvC:I, due to various license concerns with Fox. We’ll learn more about this as Capcom reveals more information on the game in the coming months.
