Zangief’s New Look in Street Fighter 6 Really Didn’t Need to Go This Hard

Introducing Mech Zangie-F

by Sammy Barker Yesterday, 7pm

We already knew Zangief would be getting his Outfit 4 at part of next week’s big Street Fighter 6 update, from 15th October. (Which also includes C. Viper as a new DLC character.)

But man, Mech Zangie-F really didn’t need to go this hard. He looks like a cross between the Russian grappler and Jack-8 from Tekken 8.

Obviously, there’s not really much more to add to this story, but we do think Capcom deserves credit for its costumes.

They’re releasing slower than we’d personally like, but it puts a ton of work into these designs. We can certainly see Mech Zangie-F re-appearing in the future.

Will this new look give you the incentive to finally get to grips with Zangief in Street Fighter 6? He’s a tricky character to learn, but a lot of fun.
