Street Fighter 5 and Tekken 7 are each getting DLC characters from outdated beat-’em-ups.
EVO 2017 has produced a stack of reports of curiosity to fighter followers, together with two confusingly related bulletins for Street Fighter 5 and Tekken 7.
Starting with Street Fighter 5, the subsequent DLC character shall be Abigail from Final Fight (Capcom’s Double Dragon knock-off). The whopping nice lad joins his pal Hugo, a fellow Mad Gear gang member who has been a part of the Street Fighter Universe since Second Impact.
Releasing for season go holders on July 25 alongside the Metro City Bar area, Abigail would be the fourth of six deliberate DLC characters for Street Fighter 5 Season 2, and as you possibly can see within the trailer beneath, he’s simply enormous.
Moving on to Tekken 7 now, Bandai Namco has introduced the subsequent add-on character shall be Geese Howard, the first antagonist from Fatal Fury (SNK’s Double Dragon knock off).
Geese is just the second visitor character introduced for Tekken 7 to this point, however what makes him much more shocking is his origin in an SNK character. SNK and Capcom have been taking part in ball for years now, however that is the primary time Bandai Namco has teamed up with its rival. It’s good to see but extra proof of the large preventing builders working collectively, hopefully for the nice of the style typically.
It appears an excessive amount of of a coincidence that Bandai Namco and Capcom would each independently determine to launch beat-’em-up visitor characters for his or her flagship fighters and announce them at EVO 2017. Yoshinori Ono and Katsuhiro Harada’s friendship is definitely accountable. Now if solely the pair of them would get a transfer on with Tekken x Street Fighter…
