It’s been a spell since we last heard about it, but the Street Fighter 5 costumes from last year’s costume contest are finally on their way to the game. We picked up our two winners in September 2020, and Capcom has now demonstrated their look at the game and given us a release date.
While fans came up with a lot of ideas for all the members of the Street Fighter 5 list, the winners ended up being Steven “JnXC” La and “Gar”, both of whom introduced new games to Juri.
Capcom announced today via Twitter, that these two new aspects will fall in just three days on Thursday, March 18th.
Not only did they share some of the new costume images in the game (previously we only saw them in the form of conceptual art), they were even kind enough to stick an alternate color for each of the DLC uniforms.
JnXC’s Juri wears a red Shadalloo cap and some torn clothes similar to some of the looks we’ve seen in M. Bison in the past, but with her low hair and white shirt, she looks comfortable enough and ready to fight.
The Gar Juri has a longer tunic as threads that include some kanji and spider fabric designs. Juri’s hair is tied to a single, long ponytail with a nice prominent stripe for a little extra personality. We will point out both the fact that he wears a choker and the fact that it fits perfectly into his personality and does not need any explanation.
Street Fighter 5 alternate costumes usually cost $ 3.99 and that’s the price we suspect will come in, although Capcom Pro Tour special threads have been more expensive in the past at $ 5.99. Those who purchase the Season 5 Premium Pass will have access to it, along with another 24 costumes that will fall throughout the season.
Check out Juri’s new look below and be sure to share your reactions to the comments later.
