It seems the WebFetch tool isn't being approved. I'll work from the information provided in the prompt plus my knowledge of Haitani and Street Fighter 6's auto-commentary system.
BODY: Capcom is expanding Street Fighter 6's AI auto-commentary roster with one of the fighting game community's most respected voices. Streamer and former pro player Haitani will join the game's real-time commentary system on May 7, offering players his signature analytical style during matches.
The auto-commentary feature uses AI to generate real-time play-by-play and color commentary that reacts dynamically to the action on screen. Haitani's version will draw on his well-known coaching background, with the commentator himself noting, "I'll be putting my coaching experience to use with my commentary." The feature will be available across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam.
Haitani is a legendary figure in the FGC, best known for his dominant Makoto play in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike and his continued presence as a top-level competitor and content creator. His transition into streaming and coaching has made him one of Japan's most-watched fighting game personalities, with a style that blends deep technical knowledge with approachable explanation โ a natural fit for an AI commentary system aimed at helping players understand what's happening in their matches.
Street Fighter 6 has been steadily building out its auto-commentary feature with multiple voice options, giving players the feel of a tournament broadcast during casual and ranked play alike. Adding community figures like Haitani signals Capcom's intent to make the feature feel personal and authentic rather than generic.
The insider take
Haitani's addition is a savvy move that reflects how deeply Japan's FGC streaming scene has grown since SF6's launch. In Tokyo gaming circles, Haitani is as much a media figure as a competitor now, and Capcom clearly recognizes that the commentary feature's appeal hinges on personalities players actually follow โ not just polished but anonymous voices. Expect more community figures to follow as Capcom continues blurring the line between esports broadcast and living-room play.
