New Monster Hunter Wilds Collaboration Suggests a Shift for Street Fighter

Sure, let’s dive into this — oh, wait. Ha, already getting sidetracked. So, there’s this wild mashup happening with Monster Hunter Wilds and Street Fighter. You’ve got Akuma, right? That dude with a look as intense as a rock concert in a thunderstorm—can you picture it?

Anyway, folks playing Monster Hunter are now slapping on this Akuma armor. And not just for looks! You’re pulling off his moves from Street Fighter to take down monsters. Like, imagine punching a dragon? Actually, don’t. It’s crazy.

You dive into these new quests, and boom—you can unlock this whole Akuma get-up. Oh, there’s this thing called Assisted Combo: Akuma. It’s like turning your fists into monster-slaying machines. Might sound useless, but trust me, it’s a game-changer.

And then—here’s where it gets weird; could it mean something for Street Fighter’s future? I’ve no clue, but sure, why not?

Oh, Capcom’s maybe testing the waters with this? Imagine shifting Street Fighter into a third dimension. Think about it! You’re that guy from the game, tossing Hadokens in full 3D space. Sounds wild, right? In Monster Hunter, you’re actually roaming around, doing those Street Fighter moves. Maybe it’s a sneak peek into a new game style?

Meanwhile, Street Fighter 6 gave us this World Tour mode. You wander streets, fight random dudes, but that’s still mostly 2D-style brawls. Here’s the twist in Monster Hunter—a taste of that 3D combat.

Now, Street Fighter making its jump to 3D isn’t all rosy. The controls might freak some people out. How on earth do you toss fireballs while spinning around in a third dimension? Well, they’ve got these Modern Controls now. Made moves a tad less complex. Maybe that’ll translate over to a potential 3D version?

If Street Fighter goes 3D, let’s not aim for a mainline game, huh? Maybe something offbeat, like they’ve done before with quirky spin-offs. Break the mold, but don’t smash it, you know?

Oh, and Akuma in Monster Hunter? Fits like it’s meant to be. Swinging those fists translates perfectly. If a 3D Street Fighter shows up (cross fingers), it better stay true to its roots, while also letting new players hop in.

Random side note—you ever hear tires on ice? Like wet cardboard, but not. Anyway, that’s probably not relevant. Just felt like sharing.
