‘Monster Hunter Rise’ Has A ‘Street Fighter’ Collaboration And Adds Akuma To The Game
by Sage Ashford
Monster Hunter Rise continues with it’s series of collaborations as they add Street Fighter’s Akuma to the game. Akuma is a character players can earn layered armor for which alters a hunter’s voice and look. This will also change the way the hunter fights, with kunai attacks turning into Akuma’s movesets such as the Gohadouken and the Zanku Hadouken. The hunter’s other moves change as well:
“If you equip a sword & shield, your attacks will change into punches and kicks. Perform a Perfect Rush to dish out a fearsome combo, and use various Silkbind attacks to unleash moves like the Goshoryuken and the Tatsumaki Zankukyaku on unsuspecting monsters!
Your pose while your weapon is drawn will change into something special as well, so make sure you grab this layered armor to see for yourself!”
Akuma comes to Monster Hunter Rise on August 27th. Monster Hunter Rise is available on Nintendo Switch, with PC releasing later.
