Street Fighter 6 has one of the most dense customization in the franchise where players not only can create their own characters but also have many options in the colors and outfits of the 18 fighters available. The Outfit 2 costume is the classic or retro outfits of the characters from classic Street Fighter games like Chun-Li. In this guide, you can learn how to unlock Ken’s retro costume in Street Fighter 6 for free.
How To Unlock Ken’s Retro Costume in Street Fighter 6
There are two methods by which a player can obtain and unlock the retro costume of any character in the game. The first method is to play and grind a little bit and the other option is to pay real money to unlock them instantly. If you decided to unlock them with real money, simply go to the in-game shop and then spend 50 Fighter coins which are approximately $23 in order to get Ken’s retro costume.
But if you want to unlock this costume for free and play the game, you have to start playing the World Tour mode. First, you have to reach Chapter 8-3 in order to unlock Ken as a master in the game. You can meet him on a construction site and choose him as your master in the game. Then you have to reach the maximum bond level with him to unlock the retro or classic out of Ken in the game.
You can increase the bonding level with your masters by using their movesets and combat style in fights and giving them gifts. Gifts have much more impact on leveling up your bond than simply using his movesets. The best gift for Ken is Cookbook which is available for purchase after Chapter 6. Once you’ve reached the maximum level, you can choose the retro outfit when you are selecting characters for a match.
To unlock the shop that sells cookbooks is a little bit tricky. First, you have to get the Spirit Guide quest in the Hong Mu Men area of Metro City where you have to speak with Ana who is a level 10 NPC. After you got the quest, head back to the Alley near Chun-Lin and fight Zimo and retrieve the stolen Walnuts.
