Street Fighter 6’s second DLC fighter A.K.I. was also shown off for the first time by Capcom
Street Fighter 6’s newest collab is with none other than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who are taking over the game’s Battle Hub for the foreseeable future.
Street Fighter 6 headlined EVO 2023 with an incredible final set which saw UAE’s AngryBird take the top place in the 7000+ player bracket, triumphing over Red Bull Kumite 2023 champion â and the reigning Capcom Cup champion â the Dominican Republic’s MenaRD. MenaRD managed to reset the bracket after rising through the losers bracket and taking down heavy hitters such as Punk and three time EVO champion Tokido, but came up short, with AngryBird taking the set 3-1.
It’s tradition for new fighting game reveals to be shown off at EVO, while other games like Tekken, Guilty Gear, and Mortal Kombat 1 had brand new character reveals, Capcom kicked things off with an unconventional announcement. Capcom’s in-house band CAP-JAMS appeared in the arena began performing a Street Fighter-flavoured rendition of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme (with vocals from the voice of Luke in Street Fighter 6’â Aleks Le) before debuting a trailer showing off a collab with the radical reptiles.
Not only are the Turtles taking over the Battle Hub, but avatar costumes featuring the lads themselves are also available in the game now, with other fun bits like Emotes, Stamps, and photo mode additions included too. So you can now play through Street Fighter 6’s World Tour story mode as Michelangelo if you want.
