Hey gamers, listen! The Street Fighter collab set in Fortnite is about to vanish out of sight faster than a Hadouken. Straight from the Epic came confirmation that these iconic skins will vanish in the next 8 hours and might never come back again. Yeah, you got that right: no days till they tease a return, or maybe in the next season, not even that. Less than eight hours and they will simply vanish into the annals of history.
What’s up? The Street Fighter bundle holding famous characters like Ryu, Chun-Li, and Guile has been shadowing the item shop for quite some time. All good things must finish, I suppose, and the Capcom fighters seem to be finishing now. And here is the thing, even the official tweet from one of Epic’s partner accounts (@ShiinaBR) asked for an “unconfirmed” return. Simply put: If you’ve been putting it off for any time, today is the last day to make up your mind about it.
Now the chaos and drama start with the reactions of people. Some are jubilant. @PopMetaXX said, “Leaving for the best.” Some are mourning. @Legitpheonix544 said dryly, “Thank god😭 I was tired of seeing Chun-Li be ‘best seller’ for the whole week.” Then, there’s those @lul_yo that is heartbreaking: “Not getting paid till after they leave, think they’ll be back again or not till another 3 years? 😭.”
And that started another debate: Does one buy the whole set or just picks? @PRNCSSKELLE is bothered: “i’m just trying to debate if i should get the guys too. i got the girls. 😭” Priorities.
And, obviously, so go the conspiracy theories once more. @LebvantFN continues: “It might return again before the chapter ends who knows!” @jvnanii isn’t buying it: “I can say with absolute certainty that there will be some mfs crying in a few weeks asking for skins to come back because they couldn’t buy it.”
In actuality, this exit is begging players to request other collabs to come back. @Daisy_flowerr_ has been asking for Resident Evil skins for the third day in a row. @BestyBattalion wants Kratos, or even RoboCop (really), to come back. @TianY63524 is praying for Arcane skins as if their life were at stake.
So, then? Skin hunters should really be activated now. Once they’ve done so, they may remain in the vault as “rare” Fortnite skins that advertise only very rarely. And really, nobody wants to be that guy who missed out and started spamming “BRING IT BACK” in every comment thread for the next year.
Bottom line: On the clock. Be it a Street Fighter diehard or just somebody looking to score this is the last round for you. Get it while you can, or regret it forever!
But if you do choke on it, there’s always the next collab. Hopefully. Now, hopefully, we get a Naruto x Fortnite crossover that everybody is almost openly begging for. (Looking at you, @dcomics_xwwe21.)
