‘Street Burgers’ come to McD’s… in Japan
Capcom and McDonald’s of Japan are releasing a line of Street Fighter-themed burgers later this month — “Street Burgers” — as part of an inspired promotion that also includes ketchup-and-mustard-inspired costumes for the cast of Street Fighter 6. New sandwiches based on Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li will roll out at McDonald’s stores on Oct. 22, so I hope you already have a Japan trip lined up.
McDonald’s Street Burgers lineup includes the Ryu-inspired burnt garlic mayonnaise and egg teriyaki hamburger; the Chun-Li-inspired fried chicken with sweet and sour mayo sandwich; and the Torichi, a triple-cheeseburger that for some reason is based on Ken. (I guess the cheese kind of looks like Ken’s hair…) There’s also a McFizz and McFloat made with carbonated apple juice and special French fry seasoning. And a double-cheese sausage McMuffin.
Look, the point is that there are some great commercials to go along with the Street Burgers promo, all of which include custom sprite work — watch in awe as Akuma throws a roasted garlic bulb at Ryu, and Guile Sonic Booms a ton of mayonnaise at Chun-Li — that you can savor below.

Chun-Li vs. Smile Guile
Ken vs. Vega Smile (aka M. Bison Burger)
While much of the collab is themed around Super Street Fighter 2-style imagery, special McDonald’s-hued costumes are coming to Street Fighter 6 for free (at least in Japan). The yellow-and-red variations of the World Warriors’ outfits evoke the fast-food giant’s color scheme and make every fighter look just a bit like Ronald McDonald.
For now, though, enjoy the special stage graphics and hadouken burger-throwing artwork created for the crossover in the gallery below.
Street Fighter 6 is now available on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.
