Alex SF6 Gameplay Trailer, New Artwork, Release Date, Kenny Omega Motion Capture BTS Photos

  

Today, Capcom released Alex's full Street Fighter 6 Gameplay Trailer giving us the highly-anticipated first-ever look at the Street Fighter III veteran's latest fighting game appearance. It was revealed alongside the trailer that professional wrestler Kenny Omega provided the motion capture for many of Alex's animations, including some of Kenny's own signature moves and his finisher (V-Trigger and One Winged Angel to name a few) now officially a part of Alex's moveset. Check out some behind the scenes photos of Kenny in his motion capture gear further down in the article. [UPDATE] Added Alex Concept Art, new Official Illustration, and Kenny Omega BTS photos to the article.
 

 


 

 
Alex joins the SF6 roster on March 17th, 2026. On social media, Capcom's Takayuki Nakayama shared an additional Street Fighter 6 Alex artwork (below) directly inspired by the legendary Kinu Nishimura's Street Fighter III: New Generation victory illustration.
 


 

 
In 2018, Kenny Omega appeared in a Street Fighter V promotional video when Cody Travers was announced for the game. Kenny himself appeared as the new mayor of Metro City, Cody Travers, in the video. It's was appropriate for those in the know, because Kenny is known for using Street Fighter and other video game inspirations in his own pro wrestling moveset. In one match, he specifically threw an item at an opponent and yelled "Hah hah!" in the same fashion Cody does when he performs his rock throw in SFA3.
 
 

Kenny also named his flying knee attack "V-Trigger" after Street Fighter V, a move he became famous for during his time in NJPW and AEW. Alex is another one of Kenny's favorite Street Fighter characters, so it's definitely awesome to see things come full circle, with Alex performing some of Kenny's moves in SF6. Awesome I say! Now check out some official behind the scenes photos of Kenny in the motion capture suit working on Alex's SF6 animation.
 


 

 
Congrats Kenny! This is an amazing thing to witness for anyone who loves and follows pro wrestling and Street Fighter as much as I do. Capcom continues to bring the most epic fan service in Street Fighter 6! You love to see it. Once again, Alex joins SF6 on March 17th, 2026. Keep it here on The Fighters Generation for more content.
