That past weekend, Capcom hosted a massive community stream of Monster Hunter Wilds, and players are now going berserk at the Street Fighter 6 collaboration and the scary Tempered Monsters (8★). The developers are going live to discuss the latest Director’s Letter, and I just want to say—things are getting crazy. Or shall I say…Wilds? (Okay, I’ll stop.)

Ah, this Street Fighter 6 crossover. You heard it here first. One player wrote on Twitter that maybe Chun-Li and Cammy could be coming into the game as skins. And honestly, that still sounds very hot. I want to see someone drop-kick a Rathalos with Chun-Li’s world-famous thighs. Iconic. But now some gamers are asking, where’s the Devil May Cry collab? Because imagine Dante slashing through monsters with Rebellion—chef’s kiss.

Next in line are the new 8★ Tempered Monsters. If you thought the grind was harsh before, strap in, mate. One player by the name of Ruthless Knight insisted that for all this leveling, armor should grant more defense. And honestly? Agreed. No-one has time to grind for materials just to get one-touched by one spicy Tobi-Kadachi.

Now, some are not so happy. Several have been talking about serious performance issues. Satyavrath Chowdhary shared that the game crashes every 15-20 minutes. Oof. Hamid N, another user, claimed the latest patch has ‘ruined the game performance.’ Yikes. Capcom should probably get on that.

Some others are flexing their Hunter Rank like it’s nothing. “I’m at HR 400+ btw…..” casually dropped Conrado Cesare, not really expecting anyone else to catch the reference. Sir, this is a Wendy’s. Save some monsters for the rest of us.

Well, the mystery of the Archon Tempered Rey Dau pendants persists, with Violet wondering if those were ever sent out. Honestly, I kind of want to know that too. Capcom, gimme the details.

But not everyone is pleased. EdoMistress fired shots by calling the update “uninspired” and saying it feels like it was “fished out of the idea bargain bin.” Harsh. Conversely, ArtiFi is diving right in with a “Let’s go!! Can’t wait to see what’s to come for #MHWilds.” So, there you go—mixed reactions, as usual.

Not to be forgotten: riceball talisman requests. One player prays: “Let us craft the riceball talisman please🙏🙏.” Capcom, if you can hear this… do it.

Hence, the stream was loaded with news, drama, and a downright grind. Whether you’re into collabs, monsters, or crashes, Monster Hunter Wilds is the hot topic for all the good reasons. Now, please excuse us; there are some 8★ monsters to… uh, run away from.
