Known as the Crimson Hawk and Blue Phoenix Rangers
The worlds ofPower RangersandStreet Fighterhave crossed over before, but Ryu and Chun-Li should feel a little more at home in their latest crossover. The two fighters are coming toPower Rangers: Battle for the Gridas the Crimson Hawk Ranger and Blue Phoenix Ranger.
Revealed over onIGN, the trailer showcases a lot of Ryu’s potential combos.Power Rangers: Battle for the Gridhas hadsome excellent gameplay trailers before, and this one’s no different. Ryu’s classic moves are on full display, though definitely souped-up for the more over-the-top tag bouts ofBattle for the Grid.
Chun-Li appears at the end, mostly just to rock out a Spinning Crane Kick, but it’s probably safe to assume her move set is similar to her usualStreet Fighterkit. You don’t fix what isn’t broken, right? Both their looks are based off their appearances in mobile gamePower Rangers: Legacy Wars, according to IGN’s reveal.
Developer nWay also announced thatPower Rangers: Battle for the Grid — Super Editionis coming on May 25, the same day as Ryu and Chun-Li. While both fighters will be available as a pack for $12.50 or separately for $5.99 apiece, they’ll also be included in theSuper Edition, alongside the previous Season Pass content. (Super Editionwill also be available as a paid upgrade to current owners, though no pricing’s been announced yet.)
Power Rangers: Battle for the Gridgot a middling reception when it first launched, but the studio’s stuck by the game and kept updating it with new Rangers and villains. In the search for good tag fighters, it might be worth another try with theSuper Editionand someMarvel Vs. Capcomlegacy in these newStreet FighterRangers.
