Sombra from Overwatch in a beat ’em up? This is already a reality.
Sombra is more than just a fictional character; after all, she even hacked into BlizzCon 2016 and disrupted the presentation to introduce herself to the world. So, it’s no wonder that Sombra isn’t satisfied with just Overwatch but also joins in on Street Fighter V. This is, of course, not intended by Blizzard, but is due to a mod that replaces the character “Laura” from Street Fighter with Blizzard’s hacker model. This was already “in the cards” since both characters have a sidecut, making the adjustment relatively straightforward.
The mod comes from THEJAMK, who has created several other modifications for Street Fighter V.
He says about this mod: “It was obvious that I was going to make this mod. I’m not really proud of the animations in the clothes, but I think it’s not that bad. The colors are not exactly the same as in the original because I also wanted the alternative colors to work, which is pretty difficult since the character has gradient colors. Still, I hope you like it.”
What do you think? Cool thing or should Sombra please stay in her own game and not be misused for loud groaning street fighters?
Cortyn says: Wow, who would have thought that Sombra can be so brutal in close combat while moving in a noticeably “more posing” manner than Blizzard probably ever planned. In any case, a pretty cool mod that is likely only suitable for hardcore Sombra fans. And the fact that Sombra is still called “Laura” should definitely be changed.
