Street
Fighter 6 Alex Motion Capture Behind-the-Scenes Video and Interview
with Kenny Omega
|
|
|
|
 Capcom released
an awesome behind-the-scenes video showing professional wrestler Kenny Omega
working Alex's
motion capture in Street
Fighter 6. It
was revealed in the Alex's official gameplay trailer that some of Kenny
Omega's own signature moves and his
finisher (V-Trigger and One Winged Angel to name a few) are now
part of Alex's SF6 moveset. On January 21st, 2026, Omega shared
photographic evidence of himself in a motion capture suit at Capcom's
studios, confirming he worked extensively on Alex's animations. A standout
technique of this collaboration is the "Omega Wing Buster," a
Level 2 Super Art that serves as a direct homage to Omega's wrestling
finisher. This move requires a successful OD Power Drop to trigger and
features Alex performing a knee strike followed by a modified piledriver,
complete with a visual flourish of a single black wing—a nod to the
"One-Winged Angel" and Omega's affinity for Final Fantasy
VII.

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's trademark mechanic, a move he also became famous for during his time in NJPW and
later in 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. This is the type of fan
service we love! 
Take a look at some official behind the scenes photos (below) of The
Cleaner in full motion capture gear during the development of Alex's
next-level SF6 animation.

Kenny Omega also sat down with IGN for an interview about how he came
around to working on Alex's motion capture for Capcom. See IGN's video
above for the full interview. Keep it here on The Fighters Generation for
