Capcom announced on Tuesday that Street Fighter 6’s four DLC characters would be getting additional outfits, and it seems one in particular has garnered the most appreciation: A.K.I.’s.
The poisonous fighter’s new look is vastly different than her standard one as she slips into a sexy business suit, puts on large circular glasses, and dons a brand new hairstyle. Already we’re seeing a ton of fan art depicting the fresh appearance, and we’ve rounded up some of our favorites pieces to share with you today.
Though reception for A.K.I. was notably favorable when she was first revealed and released, one aspect of her aesthetic didn’t seem to jive as widely with audiences, and that was her hair.
The large, white umbrella may have worked with the character on a more thematic level, but it did come across as somewhat distracting perhaps due to its peculiar nature.
Fans will have to fork over about $6 USD to get away from the umbrella hair, as tertiary costumes cost 300 Fighter Coins to purchase. If the reception from artists around the internet is any indication, plenty of people will pay it and Capcom is making the best of what could be considered a slight faux pax.
Check out the roundup of artwork below as we see A.K.I. depicted in her new threads (one even sees her retain her traditional hairdo) and chime into the comments with your reactions to them as well as to A.K.I.’s new look in general.
