Street Fighter 6 Set for a Major Event on June 5

Sure, here’s a revised version:

—

So, Capcom’s doing a thing with Street Fighter 6 again. It’s heading to Switch 2—yeah, you read that right—and there’s a DLC update slotted for June 5. Guess who’s back? Elena! She’s been MIA since Ultra Street Fighter 4, but now she’s breakin’ out those Capoeira moves again. You know, that dance-meets-combat style. I still can’t quite wrap my head around it, but let’s roll with it.

Oh, and they’re bundling in everyone else from the last couple of years, like Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui—yep, from Fatal Fury. Makes you wonder how they all squeeze into one game sometimes. So yeah, this “Years 1-2 Fighters Edition” is a big deal.

Backtracking a bit—Switch 2, right? It’s not just a drop-and-go. There’s a whole server downtime from June 3, like a big ol’ seven-hour pause. Why? Probably to iron out the wrinkles, but who knows, maybe someone tripped over a cable. New outfits are coming for the Year 2 gang too. But, and here’s a kicker, the game’s physical Switch 2 copy needs a 50 GB download. And get this: the DLC voucher thing? It expires in 2027. Not exactly a forever deal, huh?

Oh, another tangent here—Street Fighter 6 is doing a little promotional dance with Monster Hunter Wilds. Akuma shows up there looking all menacing, unlocking some Demon Armor set if you complete a quest. Sounds wild, but also, why not?

So yeah, between Elena dropping in again, and this whole Switch 2 shindig, looks like Capcom’s got this street brawl franchise grinding on all cylinders. How they’ll keep it fresh when year three rolls around is beyond me, though. But hey, that’s future Capcom’s problem!
