You have to admit a huge part of what makes the Mega Man X series’ X-busting, Z-Sabering, air-dashing, and wall-climbing so memorable is that you get to do it with an iconic, pulse-pounding, rockin’ soundtrack playing in the background.

What’s more, the Mega Man X Legacy Collection Soundtrack features a ton of rad MMX remixes and brand-spanking new music from the “X Challenge” mode composed by Yasumasa Kitagawa (Professor Layton vs.Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D) with additional guitar work by Taisuke Fujisawa and Yasuyuki Tsujino (Mega Man X8, Mega Man Battle Network 5 & 6), plus guest vocal performances by ERICA and Janet Hsu (Ace Attorney Localization Director)!

To celebrate the occasion, Capcom staff are chiming in with some of our favorite Mega Man X tracks and musical memories. Be sure to check out the music trailer and tracklists down below, buy the Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 and Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 soundtracks here and here , and then chime in with your favorite MMX tunes in the comments below!

Favorite Mega Man X track: “Sigma Stage 2” – Mega Man X, Composed by Setsuo Yamamoto

It goes without saying that the entire Mega Man X OST lineup is loaded with standout tracks, and certainly in the original MMX every single song is a banger. There are numerous tracks that immediately come to mind, but given that I suspect they’ll show up elsewhere in this blog, I’ll choose MMX Sigma Fortress 2.

The whole vibe of the song is “dirty ‘80s.” This is probably my overall favorite “sound” of all time, which leans more into the mysterious / moody / ominous side of ‘80s synth than, say, a lot of the other soundtracks and pop-synth bands of the era. Some guitar, some synth, some standout bass guitar. Imagine a mishmash of John Carpenter and other moody (yet melodic) synth goodness mixed with a bit of guitar shredding from modern synthwave stuff like Carpenter Brut and you get something like “Sigma Stage 2”. At least, that’s the mental gymnastics my brain does when listening to this one!

It all really clicks when the main riff kicks in roughly 15 seconds into the track. That main hook floored me the first time I heard it as a kid, and listening today it still hits me hard! But, this is just ONE of like a hundred all-time-greats tucked inside the MMX series. Get ta listening!

Favorite Mega Man X track: “Our Blood Boils” – Mega Man X7, Composed by Teruo Konishi

One of the friendly jabs I’ve liked to take at Mega Man X games over the years is that the music is made up entirely of electric guitar solos. That’s totally untrue, of course, with a wide variety of musical styles and instruments on display throughout the entire series as it advanced from beloved 16-bit tunes into the 32-bit era and beyond, and it’s a common thread throughout the 21XX saga that many of the most memorable tracks have a cohesive feel to them that complement the stage they’re featured in.

Armored Armadillo’s eclectic jazz-pop-rock mix booms as you dive through caves on out-of-control minecarts, while the deep, forlorn baselines that permeates Sigma’s and Doppler’s fortresses and Gate’s laboratory speak to the greater struggle that X and Zero face in their mission. The jungle beats of Web Spider’s stage add to the feeling of being tangled up in a dense woodland, and the chaotic strings that play as you plunge through the caverns Blaze Heatnix calls home remind you of the terrifying foe you’re about to face.

One of the most consistent themes, however, has been what you hear when you run afoul of Sigma as he makes his return time and time again. To me, nothing quite captures that feeling that you’ve reached the end like “Our Blood Boils,” the track that accompanies the Sigma fight in Mega Man X7. The moment that high-energy guitar kicks in, you know that you’re in for a truly challenging battle. Considering the theme, perhaps Sigma was a heavy metal singer in another life. The guitars and synth combine in a way that makes the music sound like it’s both encouraging you and attacking you at the same time, resulting in a frenetic track that keeps you on your toes. Added bonus: There’s an electric guitar solo. Some things never change.

Toshihiko Horiyama (Capcom Japan Audio Team & Mega Man X “Password” + Mega Man X4 Composer)

Listening to the Mega Man X4 songs again, I realized that every last one of them sounds really dense – not “bold and exciting”, per se, but just rich walls of sound. I’d forgotten what it was like to create music like that. Especially the final tracks like the “Sigma” themes; those two were as thick as arctic ice. Just what state of mind was I in when I composed those? There are some super harsh and dissonant sounds in there, but I’m sure I was laser-focused on my work, pounding intensely away with both hands on my electronic keyboard. Sigma must’ve inspired me to put those sounds in himself. He likes to tell people, “Tremble with terror, you are finished!” as I recall…

Janet Hsu (Capcom Japan Localization Director & “RE;FUTURE” vocalist / lyricist)

Favorite Mega Man X track: “Armored Armadillo Stage” – Mega Man X, Composed by Setsuo Yamamoto

Patrick was nice enough to invite me in since I wrote the English lyrics for and sang “RE;FUTURE feat. Janet”* on the Mega Man X Legacy Collection Soundtrack, so thank you, Patrick!

I think for my favorite tune I’m going to have to go old school and say that the “Armored Armadillo Stage” from Mega Man X is my favorite with the highway opening (also from MMX ) as a very, very close second. While the high-octane opening was a great way to set the tone for the rest of the brilliant soundtracks, it’s the jazz elements (diminished chords — yes…) in the Armored Armadillo stage that makes it really stand out in my mind. I love how it starts out all jazzy, then shifts into metal before seamlessly pulling off a wicked guitar solo and looping back to that jazzy first half.

My own, personal theory as to why this track is so extra is that the original composer knew that in order to get the Hadoken move, players would have to traverse this stage again and again, so it had to really shine. Because, honestly, most of my memories of the Armored Armadillo stage are of me jumping into that final chasm just before the Boss Room, lol.

As for “RE;FUTURE”, I used to play the X games until I had blisters on my thumbs, so it was a real honor to work on it. Unlike the other songs I’ve worked on for the Ace Attorney series, I was given Japanese lyrics this time around to adapt and sing. Therefore, one of the biggest challenges was how to convey the same content when the number of syllables required in each language was so different. I would often run into instances where the Japanese could convey what it needed to in one phrase while I needed to combine concepts from two phrases in order to make the words feel natural in the flow of the music while preserving what the Japanese was saying. And even after I had finished writing the lyrics, I found that some words worked better than others (some vowel sounds are harder to sing nicely at certain pitches, etc.) and had to bring out the thesaurus. But in the end, the recording went relatively painlessly. We recorded the melody line first and layered me singing the harmony line on top.

The mixing of this song was an interesting learning experience for me and Yasumasa Kitagawa. He had used some filters to get rid of the usual pops and noises (which is what you typically do), but when I listened to that initial mix, I was like, “Oh… where’d the final “s” in “arms” go…?” Turns out, the plug-ins he was using had erased some rather important final consonants from a number of words that we had to manually restore. It was something he hadn’t been expecting since Japanese doesn’t have closing consonants (apart from “n”) and certainly none that can make the difference between a singular “arm” and multiple “arms” as in English.

Finally, I just have to say that Kitagawa-san’s music is amazing fun to sing, but some of those jumps required some crazy vocal acrobatics! It’s been a while since I’ve had such a challenging song to sing that wasn’t from an opera. Yeah, operas. That was the other thing I discovered: pop singing is VERY different from classical singing, and I have had to find my “pop sound” as it were. I hope you like the results!

*Trivia side note: the title is “RE;FUTURE” with a semicolon because you can’t use a colon in a file name on a Windows machine, and Kitagawa-san wanted the title to be authentically Mega Man X style.

Favorite Mega Man X track: “X vs. Zero” – Mega Man X5, Composed by Naoto Tanaka

Each Mega Man X soundtrack has earned its rightful place in the pantheon of amazing game music, so it’s incredibly difficult to pick just one favorite track.

I’ve drummed to my fair share of Mega Man X , Mega Man X3 , and Mega Man X6 tunes throughout the years, so some stand-outs include “Armored Armadillo”, “Spark Mandrill”, and “Storm Eagle” from Mega Man X. I also gotta hand it to the “Opening Stage” themes in Mega Man X – Mega Man X4 for sending shivers down my spine and instilling in me the impetus to blast everything in my way .

“Overdrive Ostrich Stage” from Mega Man X2 feels like an extended guitar solo, which increased my enjoyment of popping “wheelies” (“hoveries?”) with the jet bike, and “Crystal Snail Stage” gives me all the feels with its heavily emotive guitar melodies. I also love how“Gravity Beetle Stage” from Mega Man X3 solidifies itself as an instant classic within the first few seconds with its super-catchy guitar hook. “X vs. Zero” from Mega Man X5 takes the cake for being one of the hypest Mega Man boss tracks of all time; when the guitar riffage, bass licks, double bass kicks and orchestral hits graced my TV speakers, I knew I was in for a REALLY climactic battle.

One final shoutout to Akemi Kimura’s “Sigma 2” from Mega Man X6, which fuses the Sigma boss themes from Mega Man X + Mega Man X2 into one incredibly furious arrangement. DAYUM!!

Favorite Mega Man X track: “Spark Mandrill Stage” – Mega Man X, Composed by Makoto Tomozawa

I fell madly in love with Mega Man X from the moment I saw a postage stamp-sized screenshot of X fight the Thunder Slimer mid-boss in an issue of Game Informer. After that I mowed enough lawns to buy a Super Nintendo, get the game, and the rest is wall-jumpin’ history.

The overall Mega Man X music has all the catchiness of the classic 8-bit Mega Man games, but with a borderline heavy metal edge that masterfully suits the game’s darker tone. Spark Mandrill’s stage theme hits on all cylinders from the word “Ready”. A wailing melody, galloping bassline, and aggressive percussion greet X as he infiltrates the electric primate’s deadly lair. The experience feels so appropriately bad-ass that you don’t even realize that the feeling is evoked with a tight, sub-one minute loop. So efficient!

To me, Spark Mandrill’s theme is the perfect encapsulation of Mega Man X’s key vibe: determination and adventure. The melody takes you for a ride of ups and downs while the reliable bass and drums keep the pace moving ever forward. It’s a spark that lights a fire in my soul!

Roll out, Maverick Hunters! Join the heroic tales of X, Zero, and Axl as they battle their way across eight futuristic adventures with Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 and 2 , out now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC!

Initially announced as part of Mega Man’s 30 ^th Anniversary celebration, all eight classic Mega Man X games are now available on modern consoles via two collections, with Mega Man X Legacy Collection bringing together Mega Man X, X2 , X3 , and X4 , and Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 featuring X5 , X6 , X7 , and X8 ! In North America, fans can also grab a console bundle at retail for $39.99 that includes a disc for each collection on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. For Nintendo Switch, the pack will include a cartridge with the first collection and a digital download voucher for the second collection.

Compared to the colorful and cartoonish tone of the classic Mega Man games, the world of Mega Man X takes on a more mature vibe in a future roughly 100 years after the events of the original Mega Man saga. Keeping the vibrant stages and rock-solid gameplay that the classic platformers are known for, the future of 21XX introduces Dr. Light’s final and greatest creation, a robot named X. Building on the abilities of his predecessor, X is able to cling to walls to jump to greater heights, dash, and equip unique armor pieces that augment his combat and movement capabilities.

Eight action-packed adventures span X’s journey from a B-Class novice Maverick Hunter to an S-Class pro, with the addition of the cool and collected Zero and the hot-headed Axl as playable characters in later entries. Several visual filter options are available for Mega Man X through Mega Man X6 as well. With multiple resolution options, crisp, clean sprites are at your fingertips, and you can also apply smoothing or CRT filters to bring back those memories of sitting too close to the TV from the 16-bit and 32-bit days. The 3D visuals of Mega Man X7 and X8 have also received an HD upgrade, providing sharp, improved visuals for both games.

On top of that is the new X Challenge Mode , with Volume 1 included in Mega Man X Legacy Collection and Volume 2 included in Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2! This exciting mode pits X against pairs of classic Mavericks. Take three boss weapons with you into battle, or defy the odds with a buster-only run! Even the most die-hard X fans will have their skills put to the test, and even the least threatening Mavericks can surprise you when they’re teamed up together. Are you an S-Class Maverick Hunter? With additional online leaderboard support, you’ll be able to compare your best time and see how you stack up!

Both collections include The Day of Σ, a video originally included with Maverick Hunter X that sheds light on the origins of series antagonist Sigma and the rise of Mavericks while exploring the events that take place directly before the start of Mega Man X. Also included are vintage trailers; a gallery of various art; a music collection for all four games in each collection along with brand-new songs made specifically for Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 and 2 ; and a gallery of toys, promotional items, and other products featuring X and company from over the years.

Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 and 2 are available digitally on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC for $19.99 each, and as part of a retail bundle in North America for $39.99. For even more Mega Man goodness, check out Mega Man Legacy Collection 1, available on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo 3DS, and PC, and Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, also available now for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Don’t forget – the one and only Mega Man will be making his triumphant return this year when Mega Man 11 launches in October 2018! For all the latest news, follow the official Mega Man account on Twitter and Facebook .

Ah, summertime. There’s nothing quite like the great outdoors, is there? You can join the Metalls as they sing campfire songs, roast s’mores by the fire of encroaching flame walls, and dodge mechanical spiders while you narrowly avoid being grilled on hot plates. Turns out camping is a little different when Torch Man is around!

For our last update we revealed Blast Man and his volatile theme park , but the surprisingly cool-headed Torch Man trades out the densely packed corridors of an abandoned movie studio for a lush forest and campsite that he’s turned into his personal training grounds to hone his “Fist of Fire” technique. The dense foliage may seem like a pretty unusual choice for a robot whose shoulders are quite literally ablaze, but before Torch Man turned evil, he used to teach campers about fire safety. What irony!

Starting at the edges of a campsite, your idyllic walk in the woods is quickly interrupted by the many robots littering the forest. With enemies both out and about under a twilight sky and hiding away in tents propped up along your path, you’ll have to watch your step navigating the platforms and perils scattered around the stage. Further complicating things are heavily forested areas, preventing even the faintest moonlight from shining through and making platforms impossible to see. Fortunately, some friendly-looking lantern-shaped owls can help light your way, making it easier to see where you’re headed. How helpful! Unfortunately, they also attempt to drip fiery globs of gas on to Mega Man, making it that much harder to get where you’re going. How… awkward.

About halfway between you and your mission to douse Torch Man is an idyllic scene of Metalls gathered around a bonfire. It’s interesting seeing so many of them not hiding under their helmets – maybe they’re only shy when Mega Man is nearby. The peaceful scene is quickly shattered by Sparkey, a flaming turkey that’s so fired up, the blaze on its back will absorb your Mega Buster shots! Erratically jumping around the arena, this flaming fowl lays eggs that hatch into smaller robots, so you’ll have to watch your feet and put the Speed Gear to good use while focusing fire – or rather, attacks – on its vulnerable areas. Once this mid-boss has cooled off a bit, unleash everything you’ve got to roast it for good.

There’s a lot more to Torch Man’s stage as well, with devious mazes to navigate and tricky platforms standing in your way as walls of flame bear down on you. If you’re starting to feel the heat, Rush is just a button press away! Use Mega Man’s faithful robot canine to bounce up and away from difficult enemies, and activate the Speed Gear to give yourself a bit of extra time so you don’t wind up charbroiled.

When you finally catch up to Torch Man, the woods ablaze behind him (nobody told him only he can prevent forest fires), you’ll have to deal with much more than a bit of fire here and there. Torch Man is surprisingly nimble, showing that he’s not just a disciple of fire, but a “Torch-jutsu” martial arts master as well! Time your jumps and slides well to dodge fireballs and maneuver your way around Torch Man’s red hot kicks while getting attacks in. Don’t drop your guard, or else you might find yourself at the mercy of this Robot Master’s fiery spirit when he loses his temper.

Stamping out Torch Man will grant you Blazing Torch, a weapon that diagonally fires a ball of red-hot fire into the air! Just like the Robot Master this weapon comes from, each flaming ball comes crashing back down as a searing projectile, reminiscent of Torch Man’s blazing kicks. Using the Power Gear, you can supercharge the move to turn up the heat and fire off three projectiles at once!

Aside from being a powerful weapon in its own right, Blazing Torch has plenty of other uses, too. You’ll get to try for yourself when Mega Man 11 comes to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on October 2 ^nd ! Pre-order now to receive a suite of eight alternate instrumental music tracks for each Robot Master’s stage.

Phew, that’s quite the lineup! We’ll see you at San Diego Comic Con in Hall A, Booth #215!

It’s been a while since we’ve talked about the PC version of Monster Hunter: World… but now we finally have some news to share:

First up, let’s answer the big questions, where and when you’ll be able to play the PC version of Monster Hunter: World. It’ll be available on Steam on August 9 ^th.

You can already head over to the Steam page to pre-order your copy, which means you’ll also get the pre-order exclusive Origin Armor Set and Fair Wind Charm. And to help you plan for next month’s release, here is the list of minimum and recommended specs for the game:

You’ll pay for the whole seat, but you’ll only need the edge – a new boss bursts onto the scene of Mega Man 11! Introducing Blast Man, a Robot Master with a flair for the theatric… and a taste for explosions. Lots and lots of explosions. This volatile ‘bot is no joke, so read on for what to expect from his stage and learn about newly revealed features for Mega Man 11 !

While Block Man’s stage has pitfall-riddled pyramids built around his ego, and Fuse Man’s stage takes place in a tricky power plant, Blast Man has a decidedly more… wait for it… explosive approach to the place he calls home. This Robot Master is clearly on a short fuse, and it shows in the design of his stage: the ruined remains of a theme park and movie studio hybrid that Blast Man has shaped into his personal playground. He’s added several personal touches, including a number of signs featuring himself as the star of “Blast Man Adventure.” It seems like Block Man isn’t the only one with a narcissistic streak!

Getting to Blast Man’s lair is certainly no walk in the park. New enemies such as fireball-launching foes and explosion-prone mini-bots are the least of your problems when you have to deal with volatile boxes littered about each room, just waiting for a reason to detonate. Familiar enemies like Sniper Joe make their return to try and foil players’ progress, threatening to turn this adventurous stage into a total blowout. Always seeming to show up in the most troublesome places, Sniper Joe’s shield is as strong as ever, but smart use of the Power Gear can help even the odds against this classic foe.

Just when you think things couldn’t get more off the rails, you’ll have to deal with a roller coaster ride of a mid-boss. Explosive mini-bots zoom around in rockets on rails, occasionally tumbling out when they’re upside-down – so much for proper safety precautions! You can’t damage the rockets with regular buster shots, so you’ll have to get creative as you dodge dive-kicks from the falling robots and jump over the out-of-control coaster.

Successfully dodging the bangs, booms, and bots of Blast Man’s stage will bring you to the Robot Master himself, whose short-fused nature is apparent by what’s left of the amusement park in the background. Taking cues from his bomb-tossing predecessors, Blast Man hops around the room while slinging explosives everywhere in his attempt to turn Mega Man into scrap metal.

When Blast Man has reached the end of his fuse, he pushes himself to the limit using the Power Gear! As you might expect from this explosion-loving robot, the Power Gear supersizes Blast Man’s bombs, giving them greater explosive force while his attack patterns become more erratic. You’ll have to be at the top of your game if you want to disarm Blast Man for good.

Your reward for defusing this volatile Robot Master is Chain Blast, a unique weapon that floats bombs across the screen that stick to enemies along the way. As the name suggests, you can chain together multiple bombs and detonate them all at once, or use the Power Gear to create massive explosives for even bigger blasts!

As you’re busy busting ‘bots in Mega Man 11, you’ll collect bolts dropped by enemies and scattered throughout each stage. Just like in past games, you’ll be able to use the bolts you’ve found to craft new items and upgrades at Dr. Light’s Lab thanks to the hard work of Roll, Auto, and Dr. Light himself. The aptly named Auto-Charge Chip shown above is just one of the many upgrades you can get equipped with throughout your adventure, including some icons that may look familiar to long-time fans.

When you want to take a break from the fight for everlasting peace, you can also check out a number of different challenges! The classic Time Attack mode drops players into Robot Masters’ stages, tasking them with completing individual stages as quickly as possible to make their mark on the leaderboards.

Balloon Attack mode is a unique take on Mega Man 11’s stages, removing all the enemies in stages in favor of colorful balloons that dot the landscape. It’s not all clowning around, though; you’re still working against the clock! As you make your way through stages, burst blue balloons as quickly as possible by using your Mega Buster or simply running into them. Every red balloon you burst and each blue balloon you miss along the way adds to your timer, so you’ll have to navigate stages carefully to get the fastest time possible. This mode is sure to put your platforming skills to the test, alongside a number of other challenging modes included with Mega Man 11 .

Hope you had a real blast reading up on the latest info for Mega Man 11! For more updates on the Blue Bomber, check out the Mega Man Twitter and Facebook pages, and head over to the official website to preorder Mega Man’s newest adventure, available on October 2.

Mega Man 30th Anniversary Sweepstakes Official Site

Check out the link above for sweepstakes rules and details on how to enter. For all the latest on Mega Man, follow official Mega Man channels on Twitter , Facebook , and Instagram !

The results are in, and it’s time to announce the winners of our “Get Equipped” art contest! We had over 240(!) entries for the contest, and it was incredibly difficult to whittle things down to four final selections from dozens of amazing art pieces. We asked artists to imagine what the Blue Bomber would look like if his appearance changed in past games when he swaps to a defeated Robot Master’s weapon, just like it does in Mega Man 11. The talented Mega Man art community didn’t disappoint!

A mega thank you to everyone who took the time to submit an entry! Read on for our four winners, as well as some special commentary from two members of the development team for Mega Man 11: Yuji Ishihara , Art Director and Character Designer, and Ryuji Higurashi , Character Designer!

Let’s get started with our four winners, listed here in no particular order:

Gravity Man by Midnite

There were a handful of Gravity Man entries, but this one stood out by incorporating Gravity Man’s design into Mega Man’s helmet while keeping his appearance recognizable. It also acts as a great showcase of how Gravity Hold works and just feels very well thought-out.

Yuji Ishihara: Gravity Man’s design is brilliantly incorporated into Mega Man’s helmet. The lines you’ve used to show movement help accentuate the gravity sensation, too! 

Ryuji Higurashi: The “mecha” aspects are really cool! Why won’t Roll let him take it easy for a bit? Haha!

Top Man by Andrew “AWD!”

Top Man also received a few different entries. This art really stood out by blending Mega Man’s iconic design with Top Man’s aesthetics, telling you exactly which weapon he’s using at a glance with the top built right in to Mega Man’s helmet. We love the pop-out jets that help him spin!

Yuji Ishihara: You’ve really put some thought into showing how Mega Man will spin at top speed. This is one of the best parts about designing robots, isn’t it?

Ryuji Higurashi: The tires on Mega Man’s feet sure will come in handy when he’s running!

Bubble Man by MultitapStart

This one’s unique, since the Lead Bubble shooter is attached to Mega Man’s arm instead of coming from his Mega Buster. It makes sense for underwater functions! The flippers and mask are nice nods to Bubble Man’s design, and the red gem replacing the protrusion on Mega Man’s helmet brings it all together.

Yuji Ishihara: The general rule for weapon changes is that only Mega Man’s buster and helmet change, but the fins really suit this look. Both his face and the overall look are cute.

Ryuji Higurashi: Roll is cute! Bubble Man isn’t able to walk in water, but will the same hold true for Mega Man in this form?

Sword Man by Taitotu

Sword Man was a popular choice and had a number of entries, but Taitotu’s design stood out for many of the reasons outlined above. Retaining Mega Man’s recognizable appearance while adding Robot Master details to the design, it’s a great blend of Sword Man’s appearance combined with Mega Man’s recognizable style.

Yuji Ishihara: That’s the pose! The fact that the back of his helmet is rounded shows that Mega Man, not Sword Man, is the base of your design.

Ryuji Higurashi: Mega Man is in the exact same angle as he was in Mega Man 8. I really like this design!

***

Thank you again to everyone who sent in your incredible art and designs. It’s always amazing to see what the Mega Man art community comes up with! While there were only four winners for this contest, there are tons of great artists out there in the Mega Man community. Midnite has compiled a Twitter Moment with dozens of artists who have posted their entries to Twitter, so be sure to check it out!

With the Blue Bomber making his triumphant return, I hope you’re all looking forward to all the new ways that Mega Man will change up his appearance when Mega Man 11 comes to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on October 2nd! Fight on – and keep creating great art – for everlasting peace.

Hello World Warriors!

We’re getting closer to Evolution Championship Series , the biggest fighting game tournament of the year on the Capcom Pro Tour . Thousands of Street Fighter competitors will gather at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino again to determine who will win the coveted title of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition EVO world champion.

Capcom and EVO are happy to announce a new promotion for an exclusive Street Fighter II tribute t-shirt that will boost the EVO prize pool!

Starting now until July 20, all EVO registered attendees – competitors and spectators – will have a new option on the smash.gg registration page to purchase the exclusive Street Fighter II tribute shirt by artist Dave Wilkins for $10. This one-of-a-kind shirt is inspired by the iconic Super Nintendo box art of Street Fighter II, but reimagined with Blanka-chan, Battle Costume Chun-Li, and Hot Ryu from Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition.

100% of the revenue generated from the shirt will go to boost the prize pool for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition at EVO 2018. The expanded prize pool will be distributed towards the lower end of the brackets – from 9th place to 32nd place – meaning more people will be rewarded!

Furthermore, once we reach 1,000 shirts sold ($10,000 additional prize pool), then Capcom will provide a free shirt to every entrant in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition . It will take the full effort of the community to reach this goal and make the shirt available to EVO Street Fighter competitors.

These shirts can then be picked up on-site at EVO 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada. You must show up for your pools to receive this shirt. Please note, registrants who purchased a shirt and contributed to the 1,000 shirt goal will not receive a second shirt.

We’re very excited to add more support for the Street Fighter community at EVO and are looking forward to the extraordinary competition the event has become known for.

Remember, registration for EVO closes on July 20. You can find more information about EVO and sign up at evo.shoryuken.com/registration .

After the announcement of Devil May Cry 5 at E3 2018, it’s time to bring the party to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition with three different Devil May Cry costumes for Ken, Ed, and Laura!

Dante Costume (Ken) – Dante is the main protagonist of the Devil May Cry series, who serves as a private investigator and Devil Hunter at his very own shop. Throughout the series, he meets mysterious allies while hacking and slashing through formidable foes – all while being stylish, of course. This particular costume is inspired by Dante’s outfit in Devil May Cry 4, which was released in 2008, and includes his trademark sword Rebellion on Ken’s back.

Using the alternate code will equip Ken with Gilgamesh, a set of armor that includes gauntlets, greaves, a mask, and back armor. In Devil May Cry 4, Gilgamesh focused on slow, but potent attacks.

Nero Costume (Ed) – Nero first appeared as the main protagonist in Devil May Cry 4. He is a Holy Knight in the Order of the Sword, which serves to fight demons and protect the world. Unlike Dante’s carefree attitude, Nero is distant and cynical.  Nero acquires the Yamato, a blade that belonged to Dante’s brother Vergil, which then manifests itself as a spectral demon floating behind Nero. This is reflected in Ed’s costume!

Ed takes off Nero’s jacket when using the alternate code to reveal his whole Devil Bringer arm, which can pull in enemies to himself and vice versa – perfectly matched for Ed’s V-Skill!

Both the Dante and Nero costumes will be available for purchase for MSRP $3.99 each on PlayStation and Steam the same day Cody arrives on June 25. This brings us to the Gloria costume, which can be obtained in Extra Battle Mode.

Gloria Costume (Laura) – Appearing in Devil May Cry 4, Gloria is an executive in the Order of the Sword. Her true identity is Trish, Dante’s work partner, from previous games in the series who possesses supernatural abilities of her own. Trish/Gloria is able to use the element of electricity in various ways to aid in combat or even teleport. As an electricity user herself, Laura is the perfect character to wear the Gloria costume. Using the alternate code will replace Gloria’s hair with Laura’s hair.

HOW DOES EXTRA BATTLE MODE WORK?

Every month, there will be at least one unique costume like a Crossover Costume up for grabs, which can only be obtained by playing Extra Battle Mode with Fight Money. Here’s the flow of how to go about getting these costumes:

• Each costume requires you to complete four challenges that take place over the span of a month – one challenge per week.
• Each time you attempt one of these challenges, you will need to spend 2,500 Fight Money. So if you successfully complete each of the weekly challenges in one go, you can get that Extra Battle Costume for 10,000 FM!
• Once you complete all four challenges, the costume for that month is yours!
• These challenges are time exclusive, so make sure to log in each week to complete them, especially if you have your eyes on that month’s unique costume.

 

Gloria
Name	Date (Starts 9pm-Ends 8pm PT)	Cost	Reward
Challenge 1	7/05-7/12	2,500 FM	Boots
Challenge 2	7/13-7/19	2,500 FM	Gloves
Challenge 3	7/20-7/26	2,500 FM	Torso
Challenge 4	7/27-8/02	2,500 FM	Head

Air Man Costume (Rashid) – Anxious for the next Crossover Costume after Gloria? With Mega Man 11 sliding on to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on October 2, we wanted to pay homage to the series by turning our very own master of wind into Air Man, a Robot Master who made his debut in Mega Man 2. If you can’t wait to defeat Air Man, pick up Mega Man Legacy Collection, out now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC!

What a way to bring three different Capcom series together! Get ready to rock with Devil May Cry costumes and the Air Man costume in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition!
