Zelina Vega will be living out a dream on June 2, when she’ll be featured as a commentator in Street Fighter VI.
WWE SmackDown Superstar Zelina Vega was a recent guest on Out of Character with Ryan Satin to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked about her commentator role in Capcom’s Street Fighter VI, Vega called it a dream come true.
“Yeah, they said I’m like the Michael Cole of the game,” Zelina Vega said. “So basically, when the game starts, you get to pick there’s the real-time commentators, which is one of me. There’s like two people that you can choose from, and then there’s the other commentators who are more like they’re more on the technical stuff.
“Like they will tell you like this specific move at this time this amount of power like they know all the stats me I’m just more of like the screamer and the like reactions that but, it’s funny is that they saw me doing commentary for one of Andrade’s matches and that’s what made them go, ‘We want that.’ Yeah, and actually rewinding past that. They saw me cosplay Vega, and they’re like, ‘Oh, she’s a fan.’ And then it was like being a cosplay to them, seeing me and commentary for Andrade’s matches. And then they’re like, ‘Okay, we want her.'”
Zelina Vega revealed that initially, she got in trouble with WWE management for cosplaying as the Street Fighter character Vega at the Royal Rumble a few years ago.
“Of course, younger me is still like screaming internally, but in the best of ways because I mean, Vega, that’s where I got the last name from was from Street Fighter Vega, and I was like, ‘Oh, this would be really cool thing.’ I got in so much trouble that day, though,” Zelina Vega revealed.
“I remember some person was just like, ‘Now we’re going to take you out of the DVD. This is so bad, like being in trouble, blah, blah, blah.’ And then all of a sudden going, ‘Actually, that’s a really cool thing you did. Good for you.’ And then everybody started doing that.”
