"Capcom's patch notes state that the text of Alex's World Story segments has been 'adjusted,' but the actual change is minimal and does not address the incest issue."
"Alex now refers to Tom as 'a distant relative of my mom or something,' which does not change the established familial relationship and feels disingenuous."
"Capcom's efforts to retcon Alex's history rather than scrapping the incest storyline have left fans questioning the company's commitment to character integrity."
Street Fighter 6 has faced backlash due to an incestuous storyline involving Alex and his second cousin Patricia. Capcom acknowledged the issue and released a patch claiming to adjust misleading text in Alex's story. However, the patch only altered a single line of dialogue, maintaining the familial relationship. The change is seen as inadequate, as it does not resolve the underlying problem of the incest narrative. Fans are frustrated by Capcom's attempts to retcon Alex's history instead of removing the storyline altogether.
