Why Wait?
The Street Fighter community, yer boy included, remains on tenterhooks waiting for more information about Capcom’s stellar-looking releaseStreet Fighter 6— In fact, some tinkerers are so eager for new action that they’ve taken to moddingSF6characters and skins directly intoStreet Fighter V!
The amusingly monikered modder “Sleepy Scrub” is currently mired in the process of adapting the skins ofStreet Fighter 6for theirStreet Fighter Vcounterparts. Ryu, Chun-Li, Luke, and Guile have already been completed, donning their slickSF6looks, while Ken is currently in development — though another modder, xHECZx, has seemingly beaten them to the (Dragon) punch.
No Juri yet… but I’m sure she’s on deck.

Perhaps best of all, Sleepy Scrub is also attempting to paste the hot bopper Kimberly intoStreet Fighter V,with the Bushinryu practitioner essentially making her debut in the 2016 release. From these early shots, it seems that Kim will be pasted over Ibuki — which makes complete sense given their similarly acrobatic and slide-tastic ninja fighting styles. Of course, playing Ibuki as Kimberly for the coming months will probably cause some confusion once IRL Kimberly officially hits the scene.
You can check out the full list of charactersover on Sleepy Scrub’s Twitter. I can’t wait to see muh gurl in herSF6duds… Though admittedly I have too slow a mind to adjust to SF6 skin/SFV controls and then switch thembotharound come theSF6‘s official launch. That’s some real brain ache.
