Street Fighter 6 Adds WWE Star Thea Trinidad To Its Commentary Feature

One of the more interesting new features to arrive with Street Fighter 6 is a fight commentary function that makes your bout sound like a real-life eSports broadcast. Capcom has hired real eSports personalities to lend their voices to this feature in both English and Japanese. So far, we have Jeremy "Vicious" Lopez, James Chen, and Tasty Steve as English commentators and Kosuke Hiraiwa, Aru, and Demon Kakka in Japanese.

Now we have two more voices to add to the English voice cast, and they're both WWE wrestlers. Zelina Vega announced herself as a Street Fighter 6 commentator by running into last night's Royal Rumble dressed as the kick-happy Juri, while Thea Trinidad received a more traditional trailer announcing her participation.

For those unsure how this works, each commentator has a number of pre-recorded lines that get played on-screen depending on how the action is going. Some of them are pretty generic, like Trinidad's "she makes dangerous look good," but the Game's AI can throw in some specific lines too. For example, if you and your opponent aren't throwing down hard enough, Trinidad will pipe in with, "If these two don't give me what I want, I may have to come in there and bust them up myself."

Capcom pairing up with the WWE is quite a surprise for the Street Fighter publisher, which has been flexing its muscle as a collaborative brand in recent years with crossovers in other Game franchises. It seems rival wrestling promotion AEW also wants in on that action as wrestling star Kenny Omega will appear in Like A Dragon: Ishin as a Trooper Card (basically an in-Game collectible that lets you summon people for help in battle). Omega's card is called "Essence of One-Winged Angel," which might mean we'll see Omega reprise his Sephiroth costume from Wrestle Kingdom 17.

The Last Of Us Show Confirms How The Virus Spread

HBO's The Last Of Us is well and truly off and running now, its second episode airing on Sunday night. That episode confirmed a fan theory regarding how exactly the cordyceps fungus was able to spread so quickly. Be warned if you haven't seen the first two episodes of the show, the rest of this article is teeming with pretty significant spoilers. Just hours after the show premiered nine days ago, fan theories started to swirl pointing to contaminated flour being the root of what quickly becomes an effectively world-ending pandemic. That theory was confirmed to be accurate during the opening few minutes of episode two. Another flashback, this time in Indonesia, during which a mycologist examines a flour factory worker infected by cordyceps.

MTG's Phyrexia: All Will Be One Card Lets You Kill Your Opponent In Just Two Turns

Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is currently being previewed. While we’ve seen all kinds of big, splashy cards, the one that’s given players the fear is, of all things, a tiny little Goblin Warrior. With just three cards and two lands, Cacophony Scamp can wipe an opponent out as early as turn two. Even more scarily, this combo works in both Modern and Pioneer, where it could give birth to a new take on the deck known as Hammer Time. RELATED: Magic: The Gathering – Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews As noted on Reddit, Cacophony Scamp is an unassuming 1/1 Goblin Warrior costing just one red mana. It doesn’t have haste, but it does have two big upsides: it can sacrifice itself once it’s dealt combat damage, and when it dies, it deals damage equal to its power to any other target. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY With these two abilities, Cacophony Scamp becomes an absolute fiend when...

Mortal Kombat 11 Fans Discover Hidden Voice Line Four Years After Launch

Mortal Kombat 11 will be four years old in April, and fans are still making new discoveries. The latest is one that was teased by NetherRealm Studios senior designer Aaron Davis back in 2020, three years ago, and as it turns out, he was hinting at a hidden voice line. "For people who like hidden stuff in MK Game s, there's something in MK11 I put in that hasn't been found yet from what I can tell," Davis tweeted (as reported by Euro Game r). "Only hint I'll give is it's done inside a match and it's been there since day 1, so not DLC related." RELATED: Marvel’s Midnight Suns' Abbey Is The Perfect Mix Of Hades And Mortal Kombat YouTuber Waz, on February 19, revealed that, after four years, the mystery had finally been cracked, and it's an old-school style easter egg.
