Capcom has revealed the last set of Outfit 3 costumes for Street Fighter 6, this time for the first four DLC characters.
We now know what Rashid, A.K.I., Ed, and Akuma will look like in their new outfits, thanks to some footage from the AT&T Annihilator Cup tournament that happened yesterday and an official trailer released by Capcom.
Street Fighter 6 Outfits Revealed
Capcom has shared comments from the designers that give us more details. We also get to see some cool new concept art for Rashid and A.K.I.’s new outfits.
The official Street Fighter Twitter account posted tweets over the past few days showing the new design artwork and comments for Rashid and A.K.I.’s costumes. For A.K.I., we learn that her Outfit 3 design was inspired by her mentor, F.A.N.G.
A.K.I. Outfit 3 Designer Comments:
We designed this while imagining A.K.I. wanting to stand next to F.A.N.G. wearing an outfit with the same materials and silhouette.
She isn’t simply imitating F.A.N.G’s outfit, but is attempting to be close to him in her own stylish way. pic.twitter.com/IZw9Zansxw

“We designed this while imagining A.K.I. wanting to stand next to F.A.N.G. wearing an outfit with the same materials and silhouette,” Capcom explained. “She isn’t just copying F.A.N.G’s outfit but is trying to be close to him in her stylish way.” Fans really like A.K.I.’s new costume, and it’s already become very popular with lots of fan art being created.
Rashid Outfit 3 Designer Comments:
Rashid is a FooTuber who streams himself doing parkour and extreme sports. We wanted to make this outfit sporty, with compression wear, a cap, sports sunglasses, etc. He also has some “tech-wear” since he’s naturally a gadget-loving character. pic.twitter.com/ztiAtv232G

For Rashid, we thought his new outfit looked sporty, and that seems to be right. “Rashid is a FooTuber who streams himself doing parkour and extreme sports,” Capcom wrote. “We wanted to make this outfit sporty, with compression wear, a cap, sports sunglasses, etc. He also has some ‘tech-wear’ since he’s a gadget-loving character.”
Street Fighter 6’s Season 2 update, including Akuma and Outfit 3 for the first four DLC characters, will all be available on May 22.
Street Fighter 6 Big Balance Update
Capcom’s fighting game Street Fighter 6 is getting big balance changes along with the release of Akuma on May 22.
A new trailer shows these updates, with the main change being a new wakeup Drive Reversal mechanic. This gives you a new way to counter combos, especially when you’re stuck in the corner.
The trailer also shows many new combat options for almost all characters. There will probably be some nerfs along with the buffs shown. Not everyone will be happy with the changes, especially if their favorite characters are weakened, but we’ll have to wait and see how the competitive community reacts.
The release of Akuma will end the first season of content, with a second season expected to be announced later this summer.
