The highly anticipated collaboration between “Street Fighter 6″ and the acclaimed anime “Spy x Family” is finally available to fighting game players everywhere. However, the inclusion of Yor Forger in the video game has been the center of criticism due to his peculiar appearance that differs too much with what has been seen in the popular franchise.
Spy x Family’s Yor Forger comes to Street Fighter and disappoints fans
To commemorate the global launch of the collaboration, Capcom released a promotional video on its official YouTube channel, which stands out for showing an exciting confrontation between Yor Forger and Chun-Li. At first glance, we can see how it seems that the design of the female protagonist of Spy x Family does not quite match the design she has in the anime and manga.
The feeling of dissatisfaction that is generated when we see Yor Forger in action becomes more latent in the last minutes of the video, where the face of the lethal assassin is perfectly appreciated, scaring fans of the franchise for seeing a completely different result from the expectations they had.
This visual difference has provoked a wide variety of reactions, mainly negative, in the community of gamers and anime fans. Comments such as “Yor Forger looks horrifying” and “Capcom is really bad at making collaborations” are examples of the negative disappointment by users. Others have commented humorously on the reaction Loid, Yor’s fictional husband in “Spy x Family“, would have upon seeing his disfigured face in the game.
However, there seems to be a reason behind the unusual appearance of Yor Forger from “Spy x Famiy” in “Street Fighter 6“. While many of us would have loved to see Yor Forger in the game, the truth is that Capcom didn’t directly add the character to its repertoire of fighters and limited itself to just releasing a set of outfits based on Yor and Loid.
Although adding Yor and Loid’s outfits allows you to customize any type of avatar created by the community, the truth is that many were looking forward to actually include the character in the game. The worst thing about Capcom’s decision is that the interface for customizing player-created avatars faces many limitations that give little variety when creating a fighter, making it impossible to have an avatar that looks identical to Yor.
However, it is not ruled out that some modder may take the initiative to generate a version of Yor Forger more faithful to the “Spy x Famiy” anime, thus satisfying the wishes of fans of both franchises.
Despite the initial disappointment among “Spy x Family” fans, new hope has arisen with the possibility that the outfit of Anya Forger, the adorable daughter of the Forger family, will be available in the game.
Fans are excited for a muscle-bound version of Anya Forger from Spy x Family in Street Fighter
This idea has sparked particular excitement, especially at the prospect of dressing muscular and robust characters, such as the iconic fighter Zangief, in Anya’s “Spy x Famiy” attire. Fan art illustrations have already begun to appear on social media, offering an early glimpse of what this peculiar combination could look like in the video game.
Although the fighting game community and anime fans have been disappointed with Capcom so far, there is still opportunity for the company to make the necessary corrections. The idea of seeing a fully muscular and large character dressed as the cute Anya Forger from “Spy x Family” would cause a huge wave of positive reactions.
