People are certainly enjoying the new Street Fighter 6 summer outfits. Perhaps a tad too much.
If you're out of the loop, let me fill you in: Capcom announced at Summer Game Fest that characters such as Cammy, Chun-Li, Kimberly, and Manon (among others) would finally be getting an outfit 4. The skins would be summer-themed, meaning bathing suits for everyone (except Juri, whose outfit 4 is a collaboration with K-pop band aespa).
Naturally, the fighting game community, not particularly known for subtlety, is going feral over these skins. From clips to screenshots and streamer reactions, if you've in any way connected to the FGC online, you simply can't escape it.
Take, for instance, Street Fighter 6 pro Betty. She's known within the community as the main star of the "OG Hunter" series, a show in which she faces off against veteran Street Fighter players, with her most recent opponent being Justin Wong this past Evo. Not even she can resist the appeal of Chun-Li donning a very revealing summer outfit. According to one X user, she went as far as slowing the game's speed to 50% just so she could properly analyze every minute detail of the outfit, or so I'd like to believe.
One more X user shared Akuma's raging demon iconic pose. In SF6, it shows the defeated opponent in a rather eye-catching pose. Especially if it's Chun-Li:
Even content creator Rooflemonger is joining in on the fun, showcasing via X how incredible the graphics of Street Fighter 6 are with a detailed, slowed-down video that just happens to feature Chun-Li and Manon in their new costumes.
In fairness, the costumes are incredibly well put together, and Street Fighter 6 players have been starving for any new content involving the main roster and now just clothing for avatar customization. Capcom delivered big time, and the strategy seems to be working with all the attention the game's been receiving.
