Get ready to level up your Shoryukens with the upcoming release of Street Fighter 6 on December 1st. Capcom recently unveiled the Outfit 3 lineup for the base roster, and these new costumes are anything but ordinary. Unlike previous silly designs, these outfits have been carefully crafted to showcase the depth and personality of each character.
During a recent FGC-focused Twitter thread, the designers shared their intentions and vision behind these exciting new costumes. For example, Chun-Li’s outfit tells a heartwarming story of her frustration with Ryu’s constant gi-wearing, leading her to buy him a stylish jacket. Juri, known for her chaotic nature, can be seen lounging in an adorable and unkempt pajama onesie that perfectly captures her personality.
What sets these outfits apart is not just their visual appeal, but also the insight they provide into the characters we’ve known for decades. Dhalsim, often portrayed as a stoic mystic, now showcases the hand-made clothing gifted to him by friends he met during his journeys. Zangief, on the other hand, surprises us with his “unlikely intellectual side,” as the designers put it.
Unfortunately, fans will have to wait a bit longer to see Rhashid and A.K.I.’s new outfits. The Outfit 3 showcase revealed that these costumes will be released alongside the fourth DLC character, Akuma, in Spring 2024.
We can only hope that future outfits will continue to exhibit this level of creativity. As a long-time Street Fighter fan, it’s truly exciting to see these iconic characters reimagined in such entertaining and refreshing ways.
