"In Alex's ending, he marries and impregnates his second cousin and step-sister, Patricia. As spotted by Event Hubs, the Street Fighter fanbase is not taking this well. Alex is a fan-favourite character, and a lot of people, myself included, have a bit of an attachment to him, as Street Fighter 3: New Generation was the first game in the series we played."
"Fun side note: the Arcade Mode ending in that game features a 20-year-old Alex and a 14-year-old Patricia talking to Tom, Patricia's dad and Alex's adoptive father, as he lies in a hospital bed. Tom is the first cousin of Alex's dead mother, by the way."
"Some fans are desperately trying their best to explain the resolution in a way that makes it slightly less weird. For instance, fans are currently arguing whether Tom is technically Alex's adoptive father, as this is apparently only outright stated in ancillary Street Fighter media, such as the UDON Comics."
Street Fighter 6 released its latest DLC character, Alex, who was the protagonist of Street Fighter III: New Generation. The release drove the game to break its all-time concurrent player count peak on Steam. However, Alex's Arcade Mode ending has generated controversy within the fanbase. The ending depicts Alex marrying and impregnating Patricia, his second cousin and step-sister. This storyline continues from Street Fighter III: New Generation, where a young Alex and 14-year-old Patricia appeared together. The character relationship involves Tom, Patricia's father and Alex's adoptive father, who is the first cousin of Alex's deceased mother. Fans are attempting to rationalize the storyline's implications, debating whether Tom is technically Alex's adoptive father based on canonical sources.
