As an avid fan who has played every Street Fighter since the 90‘s, I was eagerly awaiting SF6‘s release to dive back into my favorite fighting franchise. After pouring over 50+ hours into the new World Tour mode over the past weeks, I‘ve unlocked a plethora of alternate costumes for my roster of fighters.
Based on my experience mastering World Tour, as well as researching all the ins-and-outs around Fighter Coins, I can confidently provide the most comprehensive guide possible to acquiring all 18 Outfit 2 looks in SF6.
Let‘s get started!
Overview – Two Methods for Unlocking Costumes
There are 18 stylish alternate costumes you can unlock in Street Fighter 6, one for each playable character. You can acquire them through:
- Fighter Coins – Spend real money to purchase bundles of the premium currency Fighter Coins, then use the coins to instantly unlock costumes in the shop menu. This will cost around $30 total.
- World Tour Grinding – Organically increase your Bond Level with each of the 18 fighter masters found around the World Tour map. At Bond Level 100, they award you their unique costume. This takes ~30 hours but costs no real money.
So whether you want to instantly unlock all the outfits with Fighter Coins, or prefer to slowly earn them through dedication and mastery of World Tour, SF6 has you covered!
Below I‘ll explain both methods including Actionable tips to optimize your approach. Let‘s start with the fast-yet-expensive Fighter Coin route.
Unlocking SF6 Costumes with Fighter Coins
Here are the step-by-step actions around spending real-world money to unlock all alternate SF6 costumes using the premium Fighter Coin currency:
Step 1 – Purchase Fighter Coin Bundles
- Bundles ranging from 250 coins for $2.99, up to 2,750 coins for $29.99
- Larger bundles provide more coins per dollar
- We recommend buying the 2,750 coin bundle as the best value
Step 2 – Visit Shop to Exchange Coins for Costumes
- Outfit 2 alternate costumes are available in the in-game shop
- Each costume has a set price of 50 Fighter Coins
- With 18 costumes total, buying all outfits costs 900 coins
Step 3 – Instantly Acquire All Costumes!
- Using the maximum 2,750 Fighter Coin bundle purchased for $29.99, you will have enough coins to unlock all 18 alternate outfits (with coins left over)
- Estimate $30 total spent to instantly own every costume
This method requires shelling out cash, but saves you the time of slowly grinding World Tour missions. If you have the spare funds, buying Fighter Coins then quickly redeeming them for costumes is the fastest way to kit out your whole roster with fresh duds.
Next up we‘ll cover the 100% free method of unlocking alts through World Tour dedication.
Unlock Costumes via World Tour Bond Levels
Now let‘s explore how to unlock all SF6 alternate outfits by increasing your Bond Level with each master as you journey through World Tour.
Step 1 – Select Your First Master
I recommend starting off with:
- Luke – Your default master, already Bonded from the beginning!
- Chun-Li – Easiest female master to build Bond XP with
These two are great starters before moving to trickier mentors.
Step 2 – Complete Jobs, Give Gifts, Talk Often
- Gifts – Each master enjoys certain gifts more than others. Giving their preferred items grants +2 Bond XP per gift! See the table below for details:
| Master | Favorite Gifts |
|---|---|
| Luke | Protein Powder |
| Jamie | Nightclub Tickets |
| Blanka | Jungle Vegetables |
| etc | etc |
- Jobs – Completing character-specific missions earns large Bond level bumps
- Conversations – Dialogue responses raise Bond too!
Step 3 – Unlock Costume at Max Bond Level 100
- Once Bond hits level 100, the associated master gifts you their alternate costume
- Rinse and repeat for all masters to eventually acquire all 18 looks
I estimate around 30 hours on average to max bond level across the full roster. It takes dedication but saves real money!
Step 4 – Tips to Grind Bond Levels:
- Rotate Masters – Switch between mentors to prevent burnout
- Track Progress – Record bond levels to see improvement over time
- Have Fun! – Explore, take in the sights, and enjoy World Tour!
With persistence and commitment to the craft, you can unlock all alternate outfits gratis through organic World Tour play.
Costume Unlock Difficulty Rankings
Based on my testing, here is how I‘d rank the 18 masters from easiest to most difficult to max bond (and in turn unlock costumes) with:
- Luke
- Chun-Li
- Laura
- Guile
- Blanka
- …
As mentioned, Luke and Chun-Li are the best starting points. Leave trickier mentors like Akira, Lily, and Ken for later when your bond XP earnings increase.
Prioritize building relationships with the easier masters first!
