's World Tour mode explains why Blanka's skin is green, seemingly retconning the reasoning that was given in previous games in the series.
We've spoken at length about all of the fun interactions that Street Fighter 6's World Tour mode lets you have with the game's roster, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:from Juri roasting you to Chun-Li making it💫 clear that she knows everyone is staring at her thighs. These conversations are great and help build out the series' iconic characters, but they're not just f🧜or fun, as some of them actually help establish the backstory and canon of each fighter.
The most prominent example of this can be seen with Blanka. You can encounter Blanka when you get asked to travel to Brazil and bring Luke back a memento of some kind. Once you've taken on the role of Blanka-chan, you can then become Blanka's student, taking on his abilities and getting to hang out and have conversations with him.
One of these conversations answers (or rather, reanswers) a long-standing question that fans have had about Blanka and explains why his skin is green. , speaking to Blanka enough times will cause him to go discuss his origins♈ with the playe⛄r, which includes chatting about the unique colour of his skin.
During the conversation, Blanka says, "I had to borrow the power of the jungle to protect myself from bugs. I smushed up some grass and flowers and painted my body with them. And now I'm the colour of the jungle! Uwo!". Although this doesn't necessarily retcon the previous "struck by lightning explanation", it does seem to suggest that Blanka's green skin is the result of covering himself with grass and flowers for so long that it's permanently dyed his skin that colour.
This is far from the only explanation as to why Blanka's skin is green that's been given in the Street Fighter series. , but the original in-canon universe explanation claimed that it was due to how many plants he ate while trying to blend into the jungle leading him to turn green from exposure to chlorophyll.
, changing his skin colour and causing him to generate electricity. This version of the story is the one that most of the games have followed since, but it seems that Capcom is drifting back towards the original explanation, as Blanka covering himself in plants and grass sounds remarkably similar to overexposure to chlor🌸ophyll.
