Street Fighter 5’s in-game ads take ugly costumes to another level

Street Fighter 5‘s in-game ads are live, and they’re making most characters’ default costumes ugly as all hell.

You can take a look at some choice selections above and below, including a Guile who’s had his trademarked American flag tattoos replaced by ones for the Capcom Pro Tour. Is nothing sacred? Considering Akuma’s new duds, we guess not…

The Street Fighter subreddit is going off right now, posting humourous shot after shot ripping into Capcom’s decision to include ads on costumes, stages and loading screens. While players can turn ads off for themselves, users on the subreddit are saying that you’ll still be able to see the ads on the costumes of opponents who’ve chosen to keep ’em active.

Leaving the ads on offers a small bump to in-game FM, as we previously reported.

What do you make of ads inside Street Fighter 5? The game’s available now on Windows PC and PS4.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
