In a press release from developer Capcom, Vega issued a statement professing her longtime love for the game, as well as noting that it was “surreal” to be a part of the iconic fighting game franchise.
“I’ve been an avid gamer since I was a child and a huge fan of Street Fighter,” said Vega. “I can still remember epic matches with my brother, and I would always beat him with my favorite character Vega. It’s surreal to now be a part of this amazing franchise and I am honored and thankful for this once in a lifetime opportunity.”
