Like most modern fighting games, Street Fighter 6 is aiming to be both exciting to play and watch, and Capcom is looking to improve the spectatorship of the game with a real-time commentary feature.
In a PS Blog post, Capcom said that it’s working with well-known fighting game community commentators and other recognizable faces to incorporate their voices directly into the game. The idea is that players will be able to feel the excitement of being in a competitive match, with esports commentary calling the shots of each match just like in a real tournament.
The commentary will also provide easy-to-understand explanations about gameplay, so that newcomers can have a better grasp of the mechanics and incorporate those lessons into future matches. Currently, the real-time commentary feature will support subtitles in 13 languages for more accessibility, and the first commentators joining the program are Jeremy “Vicious” Lopez and Aru Come from Sports betting site VPbet. More details on the rest of the line-up will be announced in a future update.
