As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but share the news that the creators of Street Fighter 6 have revealed some troubling findings. One piece from the New Challenger Art competition, which we all looked forward to, appears to be a copy and possibly generated by an artificial intelligence system, rather than a genuine submission from a talented artist.
On July 21st, Capcom revealed the winners of their second Street Fighter Illustration Contest. In total, 26 illustrations were chosen, each giving a New Challenger artwork to every character within the game, with each piece crafted by a unique artist. However, allegations of plagiarism emerged concerning the Kimberly art. As a result, Capcom acknowledged the issue and will take steps to remove it from the game.
The artist identified as Luna Caballero on platform X (previously Twitter) has since closed her account, which was recently established in June. The strongest evidence against her was gathered by user Hoodratt, who uncovered that popular artists within the fighting game community Hungry Clicker and Chun Lo had their work plagiarized for an Akuma contest submission.
Intriguingly, it appears another fan art of Cammy seemed to have been traced from a masterpiece on Pinterest. Yet, it was a submission featuring Kimberly that raised red flags. Upon closer inspection, the style didn’t align with the artist’s previous works and was eventually unveiled as an AI-generated creation.
On July 24th, Capcom acknowledged a breach of contest rules by an undisclosed submission. It didn’t take long for keen observers to deduce that the Kimberly artwork and its creator were facing disqualification.
During the voting phase of the game, the AI-created artwork will stay and be considered. The most popular pieces will bestow unique titles upon their creators, as well as recognize all those who took part in the voting process.
Afterward, we’ll have a different artist taking over the Kimberly art role, and their identity is still undecided. As for the New Challenger illustrations, you’ll be able to access them at a future point in time.
In a somewhat disheartening turn of events, it seems some individuals claiming to be artists have attempted to exploit a lively and enjoyable community interaction. However, thankfully, the negative impact was swiftly reversed, avoiding further escalation. Moreover, Kimberly’s supporters were treated to an outstanding creation by Hungry Clicker, a response from the artist that felt like an applause.
