What Better Way To Hunt Than With You Bare Fists?
When facing down the likes of the Great Jagras, it pays to be prepared. Now, normal hunters might choose to act as part of a team, utilising ingenious traps before laying on the damage with gigantic weapons until the beast finally succumbs to death. That’s all well and good, but do you know what else helps? Busting out a HADOKEN!
That’s right, Street Fighter’s poster boy is skipping out on his next battle with Akuma to go join in the fun of Monster Hunter: World as possible skin. According to an article on Gamespot, both he and fellow combatant Sakura will be made available for those who already have a Street Fighter V save slot stored on their PS4.
Capcom has announced it will be introducing Street Fighter V’s Ryu and Sakura into Monster Hunter: World, allowing players to acquire armor sets that reskin them to look like the two World Warriors. As detailed on the Capcom Unity blog, those that have a Street Fighter V save data file on their PS4 will be able to embark on the quest get Ryu first, before it becomes available to everyone else.
“In just a few weeks, we’ll be featuring the quest to get Ryu’s set as an exclusive early opportunity to PS4 players that also have a save data file from Street Fighter VÂ (including Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition),” Capcom explained.
“Hunters with that save data will receive a special quest called ‘Down the Dark, Muddy Path.’ Just channel your fighting spirit, complete that quest and you’ll get ‘SFV Tickets’ as the special reward item. Bring that, along with other necessary materials, to the Smithy and you got yourself a Ryu armor set.”
While Monster Hunter: World’s armor sets do look beastly, can you really miss out on the opportunity to blast increasingly massive creatures into oblivion with a well timed shoryuken?
