Redditor I_S_U_K_A_ posted a series of fan art made by artist Meziosaur on the officialOverwatchsubreddit. In all, there are seven images showing the heroes ofOverwatch 2inStreet Fighterstyle, and the result is impressive. Some art stands out; Hanzo appears as Ryu, who has a custom alternate with a beard dubbed “Hot Ryu”. Pharah got a nice rendering as Makoto, and Junkrat got a great version as Adon. The dreaded Reaper turned M. Bison, one of thecharacters who immortalized theStreet Fighterfranchise.
Other notable artwork shows Roadhog as Birdie, in a great combination of the similar design of the two characters. The monk Zenyatta has become the yoga master Dhalsim, while the cheerful Tracer has become Sakura. Akuma is one of themost powerful characters inStreet Fighter, and Winston appears as the user of Satsui no Hado. In a more fun side, little Wrecking Ball got a version of sumo wrestler E. Honda.
Fan art is always a fun way to imagine what potential collaborations between franchises would look like, and in this case, it’s no different.Overwatch 2andStreet Fighterare big names among competitive games, and there are certainly gamers who enjoy both franchises. Meziosaur’s artwork follows really well-thought-out parallels that make one imagine whatStreet Fighterskins would look like inOverwatch 2. Or, whatStreet Fighterwould look like with someone fromOverwatch 2. It is not so impossible to visualize, as amod added Mei inStreet Fighter 5as a playable character, though it is likely not the first pairing that most gamers would think of.
Overwatch 2is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
