Professional wrestler Zelina Vega, real name Thea Trinidad, is going to be appearing like a commentator in Capcom‘s upcoming fighting game Street Fighter 6.
Vega’s role hanging around was announced at WWE’s Royal Rumble event on Saturday (January 28), where she entered the ring dressed as Street Fighter‘s Juri Han.
As part of Street Fighter 6‘s real-time commentary feature, Vega will offer you colour commentary to players’ matches.
Additionally, Street Fighter developer Capcom has shared a clip of Street Fighter 6 with Vega’s commentary, which you can watch below.
“What an honour. I had happy tears tonight” wrote Vega after Royal Rumble, thanking Capcom and “everyone who made this nerd’s dream become a reality tonight.”
“Among the top female wrestlers in the world, a high tier commentator, as well as an avid fighting game fan, Thea Trinidad brings her 10+ many years of pro wrestling experience to everything about Street Fighter,” reads her page on Street Fighter‘s website. “When she's not breaking bones inside the ring, you can find her putting in that work during a workout session or in your own home on her behalf favorite game. If you're lucky to see her live, you may also spot her carrying out a ninja run or two!”
A number of other stars have already been announced for Street Fighter 6‘s real-time commentary feature, including James Chen and Steve ‘TastySteve’ Scott. The fighting game will even feature several options for commentary in Japanese, supplied by the kind of Kosuke Hiraiwa, Aru, and Demon Kakka.
Street Fighter 6 is scheduled to launch on June 2. We previewed the sport back in October and found by using a slew of improvements, it’s looking to be “the best fighting game Capcom has available.”
In other gaming news, Terraria developer Re-Logic has shared that cross-play is “within the works” but “not guaranteed” at this time.
