We’ll learn a lot more about Street Fighter 6 next week, as part of a livestream scheduled to take place from 3PM PDT on 20th April, 2023. Unexpectedly, rapper Lil Wayne will be anchoring the event, and you can hear from the man directly in the trailer embedded above. He promises “new ways to fight, crazy new game modes, and some big announcements”. We’re going to assume he’s going to be included as a commentator at least.
If you’re not sure what time to tune into the event, then we’ve included a handy guide below:
- North America: 3pm PDT / 4pm MDT / 5pm CDT / 6pm EDT
- UK/Ire: 11pm BST
- Europe: 12am (Thu) CEST / 1am (Thu) EEST
- Asia/Oceania: 7am (Thu) JST / 6am (Thu) AWST / 8am (Thu) AEST
Will you be watching this one? The stream will be hosted on Street Fighter and PlayStation’s official YouTube channels, so it should be a fun watch. Obviously, much like the upcoming Final Fantasy 16 State of Play, it’s probably only going to be relevant to you if you have an interest in the game – but heck, the new Street Fighter looks fire, so we’re down!

This guy hasn't been relevant in almost a decade capcom what r u doing 🙄 😳
@Drago201 lil Wayne is a legend so stop with the disrespect.
Didn’t he do a song with JLo?
@4kgk2 lol 😆 no he's not
@Drago201 yes he is.
They really going all out with SF6 to have a SF3 urban feel to it , hope it works .
i think they’re trying too hard though , they got weezy as promotion for real ? 😂😂😂😂

I hope they only focus on E. Honda the entire time in honor of his song "Pass the Dutch". 🤣
But seriously I am extremely excited for this! Finally some World Tour details. Let's go!
Lil Wayne will more than likely be the final boss in arcade mode. More news for SF6 is good news.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZY
@4kgk2. Lil wayne is 🗑 garbage gtfoh. Nas is a legend.the lox is a legend.eric b and rakim is a legend.wu tang clan is a legend.etc etc.word up son
@playstation1995 lil Wayne was a bigger artist than all the artists you named he’s a legend that deserves respect.
Damn homie killed rap, and he's trying to kill gaming now? He must be stopped!
Capcom will be making a new Def Jam
@4kgk2. No hes mnit.his music sucks.nas is the g.o.a.t. goat 🐐 👑.and wu tang clan is the best rap group ever.word up son
@playstation1995 you got it old head 🤣.
Not even a big fan of his music but still can’t quite wrap my head around the irrational hatred surrounding the guy. Vaguely dodgy metalheads still go on about him playing guitar.
Well , that's lame
Only good song he ever did was the one with Eminem, No love I think it was. I hope to god the games soundtrack isn't riddled with hip hop from this guy.
@Drago201
Tha Carter V blew up idk what you're on about.
And Sucker For Pain has over a billion streams on spotify
@nessisonett look no further than the boomers who begrudgingly despise the youth/or anything outside of their era, and the people saying his only good song(s) is with people like ''eminem".
intolerance and ignorance
Street Fighter remix of Lollipop when?
YOUNG MONEY
@UltimateOtaku91 his feature on Tyler's Call me if you get lost was pretty good as well.
But can confirm he's washed, would think with the visual makeover of the new installment they'd try and target a younger demographic lol
@playstation1995 you know it bro, dude's still banging with the newer King's Disease tapes 🔥🔥
@nomither6 OK zoomer. 🤣
@4kgk2 He doesn't deserve anything. Lol The local crackheads bust out more rhymes than him while having mental schizophonic breakdowns at 3am. What next? You and the zoomer Fortnite kid here gonna tell everyone xxtentactenclesxx or whatever his name was, was a lyrical genius?
God, once again this game is going to be overshadowed by Tekken and laughed at by everyone else. What happened Capcom? You were on such a role with Resident Evil...
@Phornix you a fool if you think tekken 8 gonna be better than sf6 🤣.

That was a Lil brain move from Capcom.
I just saw lil Wayne and automatically thought it was going to say he's dead....not that such a sight would report it lol
Relevant or not, it's cool to have a big name like lil wayne doing some street fighter stuff. I'm looking forward to the show
@UltimateOtaku91 of course the one with the white guy Eminem is the only one you remember. If anything Lollipop is his biggest song.
I hope he comes out on stage and says "It's Weezy F Baby and the F is for finisher." and walks off. Speaking of rappers and fighting games, I would love for a remaster of the Def Jam games.
I don't think people are grasping the reason Capcom would want a celebrity host like him. Like him or not he is famous and is also already a fan of Street Fighter. Plus the 4-20 date is just the icing on the cake.
It's called marketing people!
Is the first boss of final fight, Damnd (the one kinda resembling Hulk Hogan), dropping at the end? Is he a playable character? Are we getting some kind of crazy Final Fight mode?
"My music taste is better than yours!" Ok guys, it's cool. Keep it down now will ya ❤️
I don't mind Wayne showing up but come to think of it, if they wanted a rapper they should bring out Lupe Fiasco who actually is pretty good at Street Fighter and a huge fan of the games.
Chill with the disrespect on weezy word up son @playstation1995
You know the world has gone to complete **** when people are arguing over, defending, or even talking about this moronic pop rapper in 2023, let alone Capcom or any game devloper/punlisher/platform throwing these cameo like appearance in titles to try and tap into cultural stereotypes or garner some level of hype.
It's not just that cultural fad either. The Ozzy PSVR2 commercial was just pathetic.

Friendly reminder to stay civil when having discussions here, please! 😇
I sincerely don't believe he'll be a playable fighter. His special move would be to wheeze at someone, drink a pint of something he shouldn't and then fall into a coma.
@playstation1995 this man knows his hip hop. It's not my favourite genre (though lord knows I love some Wu Tang, Nas, Outkast, Kendrick, and Biggie) but even I know Weezy has been a bit of a joke for some time. Still, it's going to make him a few quid and won't detract from the game itself so what's the harm?
@nessisonett as a big metal fan I'm the first to admit that the fanbase can be a little overzealous at times. Just look at the hatred piled on Ghost and even Opeth's later material. Two objectively talented acts with great songs and superb production and instrumentation, but because it doesn't sound like a biscuit tin full of flies being screamed at by a Karen on Buckfast it's deemed "pop". This is why I don't tell people how much I love Tool. A minority of their fans are just terrible.
I need Weezy F on commentary. He'll always be top 5 on my personal list.
My God these comments are sad.
I've never even heard of him before, weird. Either way looking forward to watching the showcase with some friends.
@KidRyan yeah you’re definitely just a kid then lol… Lil Wayne was craaaaazy big when I was in High School…. I wanna say from 2008/09 up until like 2014/15, he was the best rapper alive… I’m 28 now 🥲 thanks for making me feel old, kid 🥺
@danzoEX I wish I was a kid. I'm 34 years old, born in 1989.
I've just never cared about music really.
