A couple more Street Fighter characters are challenging Epic Games’ uber-popular Battle Royale to a brawl. Newcomers parachuting into Fortnite island include Blanka and Sakura – they’ll both be available within the release’s in-game Item Shop from 8PM ET on Thursday, 28th April.
Blanka comes with a Rival Schools inspired suit skin, a Backflip Emote, a Blanka-Chan Back Bling, and the Tropical Hazard Kebab Pickaxe. Meanwhile, Sakura will be able to switch between her school or gym attire, and will come with a Victory Sway Emote, Hanakaze Claw Back Bling, Fighting Tournament Trophy Pickaxe, and Kayari Buta Glider.
The Blanka and Sakura Cup will mark the arrival of the new skins, and top performers will get a brilliant Bonus Stage Loading Screen, as pictured at the top of the article. Will you be picking either of these new arrivals up? Prove you can beat Ryu in the comments section below.

Blanka in a suit is like an Orc from WoW in a suit.
It just feels... off.
“Rapidly press ‘punch’ to light up the opponent!”
Look how they massacred my girl.

Yeah they didnt do a good job this time.
She doesn’t look cute. Sakura is always cute in that weird tomboyish sort of way.
I’m not the biggest fan of her design in SFV but at least they kept her core cuteness in place. Here, Epic just took one look at the art and said “paste it on another models face geometry, and be sure to make it as plain as possible.”
I love how they are smashing a car.

A car is referred to using the personal pronoun 'it'.
In the cropped thumbnail on the news page I thought that was Kena from Bridge of Spirits. So it's meant to be Chun-li? Ok then
@Gaia093 my exact thoughts.
