Monster Hunter Worldwill soon see the addition ofgear based on Capcom’sStreet Fighterfranchise, with players able to make themselves look exactly like Ryu. Now thanks to a recent Capcom TV presentation, fans can see what live gameplay of the Ryu armor looks like.
TheMonster Hunter WorldCapcom TV presentation features Ryu competing in an arena quest against one of the earliest monsters in the game, the Barroth. In the footage, we can see Ryu use some of his signature moves against the beast, including hadouken and shoryuken. The moves are actually gestures that don’t deal much damage, but are still rather amusing to see in action.

Of course,Street Fighterisn’t the only Capcom game being represented inMonster Hunter Worldthrough special armor. The game is alsocrossing over withMega Man, as players will be able to unlock Palico armor that will make their feline companion look like an 8-bit version of Capcom’s famous Blue Bomber.
Monster Hunter Worldhas also crossed over with a non-Capcom game, as exclusive event quests on PS4 have given fans the chance to unlock gear based onHorizon: Zero Dawn. Not only do PS4 gamers have exclusive access to theHorizon: Zero Dawngear, but they will also get first dibs on theStreet FighterRyu armor, as the quests for it will be available to those withStreet Fighter 5saves on their console before they’re released to everyone else.
After this exclusivity window ends, Xbox One and PS4 owners without aStreet Fighter 5save will all have the chance to unlock theStreet Fighter-inspired armor by completing the associated quests. Capcom has yet to reveal when those quests will begin or what exactly they will entail, but more details should come to light in the coming weeks.
Monster Hunter Worldis available now for PS4 and Xbox One, with a PC release planned for later this year.
