The whole world is on a "Monster Hunter" craze right now with the release of "Monster Hunter World" and Capcom plans to cash-in on that current popularity by releasing special crossover costumes for three of their fighters in "Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition."
Capcom has officially announced that Ken, R. Mika, and Ibuki will be getting special crossover costumes that players can unlock over the next three months. To be more specific, Ken will be receiving the iconic Rathalos armor, R. Mika will don the set of Zinogre, and Ibuki will come out fighting in the Kirin set.
Unlocking these outfits is fairly straightforward but could also prove to be a challenging and expensive endeavor if players do not have enough Fight Money (FM). Each of these costumes serve as a reward for players that can complete the upcoming challenges in "Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition's" Extra Battle Mode.
Each outfit will require players to complete four challenges that take place across the span of a month, meaning one new challenge a week. To attempt these challenges, players must first pay the entry cost of 2,500 FM, the in-game currency. Once the four challenges are completed, players will be rewarded with the appropriate set. Word of warning, however — these challenges are time-sensitive so players who really want the costume should log in at least once a week.
These weekly challenges will begin on Feb. 22 with the unique outfit for Ken. H. Mika's challenges will become available starting March 8, while Ibuki's will begin on March 15.
Take note that these dates do overlap. By the time H. Mika's challenges begin, Ken's will already be in its second week. Likewise, Ibuki's challenges will start during the second week of H. Mika's. So, those who want to collect all three need to be ready to pay the price and have the skills to complete all available challenges within that week.
This is not the first time Capcom released special crossover costumes for "Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition." Earlier this month, they announced that Rashid would be getting a "Viewtiful Joe" themed outfit and Karin would be getting an Ingrid costume.
