We\u2019ve included a list of all these characters below, as well as comments about the skins from Apex Legends\u2019 art director, Alisa Rastorgueva, from a closed session with the media:<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u25cf Sparrow as Ryu: \u201cWe\u2019re really thinking about personality, playstyle, silhouette when matching our Apex Legends with their Street Fighter counterparts. Sparrow felt the closest to Ryu&#8217;s grisly self in Street Fighter 6 specifically, and we really wanted to push the muscle definition for this skin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u25cf Alter as Chun-Li: \u201cWe wanted to make sure Alter could do Chun-Li justice. We pushed the silhouettes of these models and bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u25cf Bangalore as Elena: \u201c<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u25cf Mirage as Luke: \u201cLuke is Street Fighter 6\u2019s breakout character, so we really wanted to feature him. Mirage felt like an obvious match in terms of personality, since they never take themselves seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u25cf Gibraltar as Akuma: \u201cThis was definitely a fun skin for Gibby. His size and silhouette gave us a good canvas to bring that to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u25cf Wattson as Cammy: \u201cThey really complement each other. How Wattson operates matches well with Cammy\u2019s fighting style.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u25cf Caustic as Blanka: \u201cBlanka is big, unpredictable, and terrifying. One detail we are really proud of here are Caustic\u2019s canisters: As you can see here, they feature electric eels that we hope fans catch and appreciate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u25cf Pathfinder as Dhalsim: &#8220;Figuring out how to put Dahlsim&#8217;s design on a robot was definitely a challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Apex Legends x Street Fighter 6 Collaboration Images<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image Credits: Respawn Entertainment \/ Electronic Arts \/ CAPCOM\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2896921488 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/apex-legends-vs-street-fighter-brings-chun-li-ryu-akuma-and-more-to-the-outlands.gif\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3027214138 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\"><\/span><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Eight new Legendary Street Fighter 6-themed weapon skins are also available in the Reward Shop: <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u25cf R-99<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u25cf EVA-8<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u25cf Flatline<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u25cf Volt<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u25cf Scout<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u25cf Mozambique<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u25cf Sentinel<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u25cf Peacekeeper<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Other goodies include two new Skydive Emotes (one of them is a Tatsumaki), Holosprays, stickers (these include all characters in Street Fighter 6\u2019s base roster), badges, trackers, and frames.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">To really get players into the Street Fighter spirit, the devs at Respawn have lovingly prepared a new Hadouken Universal Melee cosmetic that includes a matching Deathbox. This allows players to literally throw out a Hadouken projectile in the middle of battle; just don\u2019t fall prey to the Dark Hadou!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image article-image article-image-full-size jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/apex-legends-vs-street-fighter-brings-chun-li-ryu-akuma-and-more-to-the-outlands.gif\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">Remixed Olympus POI<\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Olympus is getting a Street Fighter makeover; the entire area has been decked out in bright colors, graffiti, giant Blanka-chan balloons, and even silver statues of the eight characters featured as skins in this collaboration. Punch Trucks are scattered throughout the POI, which players can beat up using melee attacks to earn Fight Gauge tokens in traditional Street Fighter fashion. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">That\u2019s not all; Pathfinder\u2019s Fight Night has been transformed into Luke\u2019s Gym, featuring arcade cabinets, Street Fighter 6-branded punching bags, a weight rack, and of course, Luke\u2019s signature blue and orange colors. There\u2019s even a massive screen surrounding the entire area featuring Ryu and Chun-Li facing off, which will loom over the match in its entirety.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cRemixing Olympus for this takeover was all about immersing players in fighting game culture, world director Eduardo Agostini said. \u201cBuilding off what we learned on maps like Night City E-District, we wanted Olympus to feel like a living Street Fighter stage. For the Street Fighter 6 collaboration especially, we kept thinking of how we could inject that high-energy arcade feel directly into the map. \u2026We\u2019re really excited for players to explore every corner of this map and feel the energy that the team poured into it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image article-image article-image-full-size jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/apex-legends-vs-street-fighter-brings-chun-li-ryu-akuma-and-more-to-the-outlands.gif\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">Wildcard Takeover Explained<\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The Apex Legends x Street Fighter collab also features a Wildcard Takeover that transforms the first-person shooter into an all-out brawl. Rather than firing bullets at other players, you\u2019ll use your Street Fighter skills to punch and kick your opponents. For this mode, the devs at Respawn cleaned up the game\u2019s melee to let players perform fluid combos, which will fill your Fighter Gauge. Collecting tokens throughout the area will also fill your gauge, allowing you to enter Fighter Form, a third-person combat mode with new Tactical and Ultimate abilities, movement, and blocking capabilities.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Titled Apex KO, players will need to select one of four fighters before entering the match as either Ryu, Chun-Li, Dhalsim and Akuma. If you don\u2019t make a choice, one will be selected for you. When you enter Fighter Form, your abilities will be replaced with skills that suit each Street Fighter character. Some of these are listed below:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Ryu: Shin Shoryuken, Dash, Hadouken.\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>(You can lock onto targets to hit them with the hadouken but it won\u2019t do exploding damage.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Chun-Li: Double-jump, Kikouken, Kikosho, and faster melee attack speed.<\/li>\n<li>Dhalsim: Increased melee range, Teleportation, Yoga sunburst.<\/li>\n<li>Akuma: Gohadouken, Shun Goku Satsu, Raging Demon, Demon Mode.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The final round is called the Showdown, where any downed or respawning players rejoin the fight to throw hands until one squad is left standing.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image article-image article-image-full-size jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/apex-legends-vs-street-fighter-brings-chun-li-ryu-akuma-and-more-to-the-outlands.gif\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cAt its core, Apex is built on competition,\u201d Chris Ruvolo, senior technical game designer for Apex Legends, said in a statement. \u201cTranslating Street Fighter 6\u2019s mechanics into a third-person Battle Royale experience was about finding those synergies in their shared competitive DNA. Balancing the four Fighter Gear kits was such a fun opportunity to give players highly expressive tools like Hadokens, wall-runs and Yoga Teleports without compromising Apex\u2019s core gameplay and competitive integrity. The final Showdown round distills that drive into a high-stakes brawl where clutch execution decides who survives.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"author-sign-off\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><span class=\"stack jsx-59817748 jsx-1927875859\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"rounded jsx-444076027 jsx-4218469134 profile-thumb jsx-2141281959 aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-1-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Virginia Glaze Avatar\" class=\"progressive-image profile-thumb-img jsx-249361588 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/apex-legends-vs-street-fighter-brings-chun-li-ryu-akuma-and-more-to-the-outlands.jpg\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"stack jsx-2509706801 jsx-3630940851\"><span class=\"stack jsx-2959124702 jsx-702910195 author-sign-off-header\">Virginia Glaze<\/p>\n<p>News Editor<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"stack jsx-2509706801 jsx-1220387432\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"interface jsx-1132626198 sign-off-text\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Virginia (she\/her) is IGN\u2019s News Editor.
