Creative Destiny 2 players make the most of a new item from the recent crossover with Street Fighter 6 in the form of amusing and detailed costumes.
The latest costume from DestinyFashion Reddit community member Complete-Sun-9960 brings classic Nintendo character Fox McCloud into the fold. Though introduced as the face of the Star Fox franchise, Fox is even more popular as a Smash Bros. mainstay.
Destiny 2 Star Fox Costume Uses Crossover Parts
Complete-Sun-9960’s Fox McCloud costume is centered around the recently added Doki Doki Destiny Titan Helm, which is part of the “Doki Doki” line of armor ornaments added alongside Act 2 of Episode: Revenant. The Doki Doki ornaments are inspired by concepts often associated with romantic anime and manga and “magical girl” series. Colored with the Vanguard Nightbeam shader, the animal-like mien of the Doki Doki Destiny Titan Helm looks to all the world like a fox’s red-furred face.
The rest of the costume expertly recreates Fox McCloud’s military-themed outfit, reflecting his appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The Ringwalker Plate from the Bungie 30th Anniversary celebration replicates Fox’s signature flight jacket, lending the normally bulky Titan class a low-profile look appropriate to a space pilot, accented by a bright red scarf. Fans even praised Complete-Sun-9960’s inclusion of a jumpship and Sparrow in the outfit ensemble, with the exotic Colonel’s Lament ship substituting for the Arwing, the ship from the original iconic Star Fox titles. Though Fox is better known these days for fighting on foot in the Smash Bros. arena, Star Fox was once seen as a classic space combat series.
The Fox McCloud costume was so impressive that many commenters remarked that they were convinced to exchange their Bright Dust for the Doki Doki Destiny Titan Helm, despite generally being not fond of the pieces. A few also suggested alternative parts to recreate other Fox McCloud design variations, including one with the “metal legs” visible in the original Star Fox character art.
