Arguably both the biggest and strangest news from Evo this year came from Capcom. The company did a double announcement: firstly, of a debut trailer for A.K.I., the 20th playable Street Fighter 6 character coming as DLC this fall. She has a deadly fixation on poisons and seems to take immense pleasure from applying said toxins to her victims. She has terrifying looks and an even more alarming personality, at least judging from the frankly sort-of disturbing trailer.

That’s not the announcement that left everyone pleasantly-surprised yet also scratching our heads, though. That would be the news that Street Fighter 6 is officially collaborating with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They’re not coming to the game as new playable characters, exactly, but instead as costumes for your avatar in World Tour and Battle Hub modes. The collab isn’t limited to just costumes, though. There will also be Turtle-themed accessories, emotes, stamps, “and more.”

The trailer is worth watching, both because it’s rather well-produced—the voice actor for Luke, Alex Le, apparently sang the rendition of the classic Turtles theme in the video—and also because it’s just hilarious to see Leonardo delivering a Shin Shoryuken to the jaw of an unsuspecting foe. Indeed, because the turtles are appearing as costumes, you won’t see them using their iconic weapons, but it’s still hilarious to see them bounce around like the ninjas they apparently are, anyway.

It’s not as bizarre as Darth Vader, Yoda, and Starkiller appearing in Soul Calibur IV, but in terms of properties that we expected to cross over with Street Fighter 6, we have to admit that the American Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise wasn’t particularly high on that list. Maybe it should have been, though. The Turtles are seeing a bit of a resurgence in the last few years, with the release of the excellent TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge as well as a new movie in theaters right now. Here’s hoping for a new Usagi Yojimbo game.
