Summary
Capcom has revealed that a newMega Man-themed Fighting Pass is going live inStreet Fighter 6. The fighting game’s third DLC fighter, Ed, joined the roster last month, bringing with him balance changes to characters like Jamie, Ryu, Luke, and more. The Psycho-powered fighter was also added toStreet Fighter 6’s single player World Tour mode, where he can be found in a Metro City subway station at night.
Since its launch nine months ago,Street Fighter 6has already hosted a handful of fun collaborations with other popular franchises. A summertimeTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlescollab saw all four turtles added to the game as player avatar outfits.Street Fighter 6also crossed paths with one ofCapcom’s lesser known beat-em-up franchises from the 90s,Final Fight. Another major crossover with thepopular anime and mangaSpy X Familycame toStreet Fighter 6in December.
Now,Street Fighter 6has unveiled another big crossover withone of Capcom’s most popular franchises,Mega Man. In a short trailer,Street Fighterrevealed the all-new Fighting Pass and all its contents, including its crown jewel: a 5-pieceMega Mangear set wearable by players' avatars. Next to the iconic blueMega Mansuit, the premium pass also includes a set of five stickers, three titles, three pieces of music, an emote, a device wallpaper, and a photo frame. Additionally, players can unlock the classic 1995 arcade gameMega Man: The Power Battle,playable in the Battle Hub.

On top of all this, the online Battle Hub area will be decked out in all-thingsMega Man,with the iconic 2D jumpingMega Mansprite up in the rafters. SomeStreet Fighter 6players expressed frustration at the fact that these avatar outfits are only wearable by player avatars and not byStreet Fighter 6’s roster characterslike Ryu and Chun-Li. With the wide array of sizes and body types each character has, it would surely be difficult to get all the pieces of these gear sets to work with each character without clipping or causing visual issues. Perhaps specific colorways of the crossover character added to each character’s outfit would be a sufficient middle ground.
Seeing that Capcom is keen on bringing in crossovers toStreet Fighter 6,especially with some of its own franchises, it’ll be interesting to see what it brings to its smash-hit fighting game next. The long awaited fantasy RPGDragon’s Dogma 2is Capcom’s next major release, coming later this month; perhaps its launch will coincide with aStreet Fighter 6Fighting Pass. Crossovers with the likes ofResident Evil,Devil May Cry,andMonster Hunterseem like no-brainers forStreet Fighter 6when more of those titles release in the future.
