Get ready for a thrilling update, Street Fighter fans! Alex's grand comeback in Street Fighter 6 is about to get even more exciting with a second theme, and it's a blast from the past.
While we eagerly await Alex's release, which is still a few months away, Capcom has been dropping some major hints about what we can expect. And here's where it gets controversial... Alex will have not one, but two battle themes! His second theme is a twist that will delight fans of the Street Fighter 3 era.
You might have already guessed it, but Alex's additional theme is a fresh take on the iconic Jazzy NYC. This stage theme was a staple throughout the Street Fighter 3 games, and now it's getting a modern revamp for Alex's triumphant return to the ring. Imagine the nostalgia and excitement!
But wait, there's more! Capcom previously unveiled Alex's first theme, performed by the Japanese rock band JAM Project. Titled "Go! Alex! Hope is Born!", it's a unique full vocal track that adds a whole new dimension to the game. However, not everyone seems to be on board with this departure from tradition, which is why the revival of Alex's classic theme is a welcome surprise. It begs the question, though: why haven't we seen this for other characters in Street Fighter 6?
In addition to the gameplay trailer, Capcom has also released a detailed movelist for Alex, showcasing just how different he'll be in this new iteration. And here's a fun fact: AEW star Kenny Omega lent his talents to Alex's motion capture in SF6 and even gifted the brawler one of his signature wrestling moves as a Super Art! Talk about a dream collaboration.
Mark your calendars, because Alex is scheduled to launch on March 17th. We've got some time to gear up for his arrival. In the meantime, check out the full new arrangement of Jazzy NYC as it'll appear in Street Fighter 6. It's a treat for the ears and a reminder of the rich history of this beloved franchise.
And this is the part most people miss... What do you think about Alex's dual themes? Is it a brilliant way to honor his legacy or a missed opportunity for other characters? Share your thoughts in the comments and let's spark a friendly debate!
