Forging the Path of Asura with a Human Body

Monster Hunter: World itself had a crossover with its own IP, Street Fighter 5. Players could obtain appearance skins for "Ryu" and "Sakura" through quests, as well as the special moves "Hadoken" and "Shoryuken."

In its sequel, Monster Hunter: Wilds, there was a Street Fighter 6 crossover featuring "Gouki."
