It's wild to think that Street Fighter and Power Rangers' first big crossover came in a short film almost 5 years ago, and they're still finding more way to make the ears perk up on fans of both .
People finally have a chance to see
Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid’s new DLC character fight. nWay released a new trailer showing off
Power Rangers’ Chun-Li Ranger. The video begins with the Ryu Ranger facing Lord Zedd. However, Blue Phoenix Ranger drops in to assist Crimson Hawk Ranger.
After she drops in, we get to see Chun-Li Ranger’s introductory action in
Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid. We then also get to see how her
Street Fighter moves will be preserved and adapted to this fighting game.
At the halfway point, we get to see Chun-Li’s other look. Like Ryu, she has an Angel Grove Class of 93 skin. Her
Back when nWay announced the Ryu Ranger and Chun-Li Ranger’s
Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid DLC, so were additional costumes. Now we have our first look at one. The developer shared a peek at a Ryu Angel Grove Class of 93 skin.
The skin is a direct reference to the original
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers that debuted back in 1993. One preliminary picture even shows him with Zordon. The rangers that season attended Angel Grove High School. While Ryu still has his trademark headband, he also has a 90s look. He has a black leather jacket, a red flannel shirt tied around his waist, and black pants.
Street Fighter Chun-Li Ranger and Ryu Ranger will show up in
Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid. nWay announced that on May 25, 2021, people can buy the add-ons that bring Crimson Hawk Ranger (Ryu) and Blue Phoenix Ranger (Chun-Li) to the game. The
Power Rangers BFTG Super Edition will also launch that same day and include all DLC and four bonus skins. [Thanks, IGN!]
The
Street Fighter Rangers first appear in
Power Rangers: Legacy Wars. The Ryu Ranger showed up first in 2018, followed by Chun-Li in 2019. In September 2020, nWay asked on Twitter if people would want to see both in
Power Rangers BFTG.
