DC had a slightly higher ratio, with four female skins out of 12 total. In the Marvel crossover, 25 new skins arrived. While there are no female players with the star power of Neymar and Kane, the likes of Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, and Fran Kirby might argue they deserve a place in the game over Reus - especially given that Reus was added in a Euro 2020 promotion despite failing to make the Germany squad.
#CHUN LI FORTNITE PROFESSIONAL#
There are three professional footballers in the game - Neymar Jr., Harry Kane, and Marco Reus.

This isn’t Fortnite’s first rodeo, and previous crossovers have not been quite so conscious of gender. Having said that, I’m not entirely sure it is true.
We already have a girl, what do we need another one for? That Cammy is being given equal footing with Chun-Li is justice for all the times the characters have been needlessly pitted against each other. While male characters get to exist, the women have to be directly compared. For her entire existence, she has been unfavourably compared to Chun-Li. It would also be something of a redemption for Cammy, if that were true. If that’s the case, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that - Fortnite has a diverse playerbase, so giving them crossover characters that offer a greater range of representation is always a good thing. It may just be that Fortnite wanted to continue the gender split for Street Fighter, following up Chun-Li with Cammy. Related: Ariana Grande Is The Biggest Thing To Happen To Fortnite Ever It’s not that Cammy is terrible - she’s one of my favourites - but she’s consistently overlooked, so Fornite’s decision to highlight her is a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. Honestly, I’d have been less surprised by E. Bison, Blanka, Akuma, or maybe even Dhalsim. I don’t think many people would expect Cammy to be next, though. After those, you’d have Guile and his weird haircut next in line. Ken might feel disappointed at missing out, but considering he and Ryu started life as palette swaps, Chun-Li obviously offers a bit more variety. Ryu and Chun-Li were no-brainers for the first picks.

While Guile is pretty unsurprising, Cammy is not the choice I would have expected to join the game next, but I’m glad she’s finally being given the spotlight she deserves.
#CHUN LI FORTNITE SERIES#
I mean, Cammy and Guile aren’t even the first ones from their series - Chun-Li and Ryu have been on the battle bus for ages. Even if they’re just here for the gig though, Fortnite has become an endless cavalcade of crossovers these days. Personally I think Guile favours the Dangerous Woman era, while Cammy is more of a Thank U, Next girl. Arriving just in time for Ariana Grande, Street Fighter characters Cammy and Guile are dropping in Fortnite this weekend.
