Street Fighter 6 Outfit 2 Reveals The Original Gear For The Original Characters

gameranx.com:

Capcom has released a new Street Fighter 6 trailer showing the 2nd outfits for the playable characters.

The treat with these 2nd outfits is that all the classic characters get all their classic costumes back. Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, Guile, E. Honda, Dhalsim, Blanka, Zangief, Cammy, and Dee Jay are recognizably wearing their outfits from Street Fighter 2.

It’s fun to see them in those original outfits, but it is also a little strange to see that Chun Li and Cammy were given pants for this new game, but you can forego that completely if that’s what you prefer.

Juri being the sole returning character from Street Fighter IV, she is a bit of a special case. Her outfit 2 is actually not from that original appearance, but based on her Street Fighter V costume. So forget the spider themed top and white pants, in this one she has the full body pink and purple costume, and the inexplicable eyepatch.

I personally would have wanted that original outfit back for Juri. With all that said, maybe Capcom is also planning to make that available later.

Now here’s the weird thing. You will need to connect your copy of Street Fighter 6 online to get these outfits. Is this a requirement because Capcom wants to make sure you earned Outfit 2 instead of hacking the game? Or is this because these outfits are not actually in the base game, and you have to download them?

It’s actually credible that the reason is the latter, given, once again, Capcom’s choice to give Chun Li and Cammy pants in their new outfits, and then retroactively letting you play with the old outfits.

Lest we forget, the new fighters also get new costumes, each one themed around their personality. Truth be told, it doesn’t feel like they tried that hard with some of these outfits,
