It won’t be long now before we see the official release of Street Fighter 6’s next DLC character. The game’s Season 2 of content is set to fully kick off with the release of classic Street Fighter boss character M. Bison, and we’re only about a week away from that glorious day.
In anticipation and preparation of the upcoming DLC fighter, Capcom continues to release information and assets of the former dictator to tide fans over until his actual launch. Today, the company released some new screenshots showcasing his Outfit 2 in Street Fighter 6, which returns the villain back to his legendary and iconic classic look.
“YES! YES! ” the official Street Fighter Twitter page began. “Get M. Bison’s Outfit 2, inspired by his classic appearances, in World Tour or with Fighter Coins.”
As with all previous characters in Street Fighter 6, M. Bison’s Outfit 2 will be both purchasable and unlockable. If you don’t want to shell out Fighter Coins to quickly scoop up the alternate outfit, you will also have the option of playing World Tour Mode — Street Fighter 6’s large-scale single player mode — to find Bison, study under him, and earn his friendship, which will lead to unlocking the costume.
In Street Fighter 6, M. Bison’s default look sees him rocking a tattered hood over a shirtless torso. Being that he retains the same body he had in Street Fighter 5, albeit now having amnesia, Bison also still wears his red pants and buckled boots with this costume.
Outfit 2, however, goes right back to basics and gives M. Bison his trademark red dictator suit complete with hat, shoulder pads, shin guards, and a clean cut hairdo. This costume lacks the cape that we saw with later designs and appears to try and emulate his original Street Fighter 2 look as closely as possible — to which it succeeds.
This classic outfit looks amazing in Street Fighter 6, and with his default being a much more subtle costume with darker colors, the red from Outfit 2 absolutely pops and stands out here. Of course, both costumes (as well as his eventual Outfit 3) all come with their own set of alternate colors and palettes that you can choose from.
Capcom recently hit the internets with the Street Fighter 6 M. Bison character guide, which runs viewers through all of his special moves, supers, and basic strategies for his various tools. Be sure to watch it if you’re itching for more Bison before his release.
