Round One: Street Fighter’s Ryu and Chun-Li Square Off in Fortnite
Posted by Twigsby on 2/20/2021
If you’re trying to secure the Zero Point, could there be a more PERFECT choice than recruiting World Warriors from Street Fighter? Starting today, two of Capcom’s greatest fighters join the Item Shop.
Master of the Dragon Punch (a.k.a. “SHORYUKEN!”) and hailing from Japan, Ryu is ready to fight. Select between his traditional white gi, black belt, and red headband or Battle variant. Always ready for action, the Ryu Outift comes equipped with the Training Bag Back Bling and the built-in Shoryuken! Emote.
Shoryuken!
Alongside Ryu, the self-proclaimed “strongest woman in the world”, Chun-Li, is ready for the competition to kneel before her. Players are sure to get (many, many) kicks out of the Chun-Li Outfit and Nostalgia Variant. As a tribute to one of gaming’s greatest arcade games, she comes equipped with the Super Cab-Masher Back Bling and built-in Lightning Kick! Emote. Complete her look with the Seven Star Flashing Flail Pickaxe (sold separately).
Yatta!
The Ryu & Chun-Li Bundles also include the “Player Select!” Loading Screen. Separately, the Ryu & Chun-Li Gear Bundle includes the Sumo Torpedo Glider and two Pickaxes: the Seven Star Flashing Flail and Signpost Pummeler Pickaxes.

With the arrival of Ryu and Chun-Li, we’re also kicking off our next Fortography theme: 1v1! Whether you’re playing as one of these two World Warriors or not, we want to see you squaring off one-on-one arcade-style. Equip some action-packed Emotes, stage a battle in the second dimension, and post a screenshot on Twitter using the #Fortography hashtag! We’ll be sharing some of our favorites in a future blog post.
Get back out there... and FIGHT!
