Fans Upset Over Street Fighter 6 Ending Where Alex Marries His Cousin

Street Fighter 6’s newest DLC fighter, Alex, has arrived, and his Arcade Mode ending has left many players unhappy. The slide-show conclusion shows Alex marrying and impregnating his second cousin and step-sister, Patricia, a development that has drawn widespread criticism.

New DLC characters in Street Fighter 6 receive short custom slideshows with story beats and unlockables when players beat Arcade Mode for the first time. Other recent endings gave Luke a street fight with Jamie and showed Guile trying to make up with his brother-in-law, Ken.

Many fans feel particularly attached to Alex—he was the protagonist of Street Fighter III: New Generation—and pointed to that game’s ending, which features a 20-year-old Alex and a 14-year-old Patricia talking to Tom, Patricia’s father and Alex’s adoptive father, as he lies in a hospital bed.
