Unlike the Marvel-themed season that revolved around a single massive collaboration, Chapter 2 Season 5 of Fortnite has facilitated a multitude of small collaborations up till now. From Kratos to the Mandalorian, several bounty hunters from different franchises have arrived in the game already. While some of these new skins are a part of this season’s Battle Pass, others were available in the Item Shop for a limited time.
The latest franchise to join forces with Fortnite for the bounty hunter season is Street Fighter. The popular fighting video game series by Capcom is not only its best-selling venture, but has even laid the foundation for the one-on-one fighting game genre.

On the flip side, a fan talked about how it is unjustified to mock the younger generation for lack of information on Street Fighter. Even though the video game series was huge at its peak, many people are unaware of it currently.
