According to prominent leaker ryokutya2089, you’ll be able to get new stamps to use to communicate with other players. As well, you can get Doppo’s outfit, which is something you’ll be able to give to your player avatar. There will also be emotes available, such as Yuuichirou’s stance.

The last time there was a crossover between Baki the Grappler and Street Fighter 6, it was back in late 2023. That time, you were able to get avatar recipes that would make you look like Baki or Hanayama from the manga and anime series. If you combine them with what’s available in this upcoming collaboration, you’ll be able to further bring the Baki world to life. Of course, since these are only leaks and not official announcements, there’s the chance that more items will be available as well.

Baki the Grappler is a Japanese anime and manga series, with the serialization running from 1991 to 1999. There have been multiple series that follow the titular Baki character. The story follows Baki Hanma, who trains to become a powerful fighter like his father at the behest of his mother. After his father kills his mother, he travels around the world to hone his craft with other strong warriors with the eventual goal to beat his father. Due to the series’s sometimes bizarre plot points, scenes from the anime and manga have become popular Internet memes or reaction clips.

Street Fighter 6 is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC.
