The voice actor of Luke from Street Fighter 6, Aleks Le, voices a number of fan-submitted memes from the community revolving around the character. This is in celebration of Luke's birthday, which Capcom officially listed as February 17. Voice actors reading memes from the community is a fun way for the actor to interact with fans, which has been seen with actors from games like Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Destiny 2, and God of War. With Street Fighter 6 coming out this June and its central character's birthday being quite recent, Le took to Twitter to voice some popular memes made by the fans.Luke franchise's new generation of fighters, alongside characters like Jamie, Kimberly, and Manon, among others. While Luke made his first appearance in Street Fighter 5 as its final DLC character, Street Fighter 6 is his formal introduction to the series. Aleks Le had stated that the role was one of the most fun he's ever done, citing Luke's Hadouken Taunt against Ryu as one of his favorite line reads. The voice actor also celebrated Luke's birthday, asking fans to send in their favorite memes about the character, which he then voiced and posted in a video on his Twitter account.These memes all feature Le voicing not only comics, but various caption memes involving Luke. These range from comics about Luke's favorite Street Fighter to more nonsensical text posts. There's even a reference to a common Street Fighter 6 meme where fans initially believed that Ken's disheveled state was due to a divorce he had with his wife, Eliza, before it was revealed he was forced to be on the run and was still married. This meme was also included among the ones Le voiced, where Luke humorously believes Ken got divorced, before backtracking his statement.
These memes were accompanied by a number of memetic sound effects and audio clips, such as the "Vine Boom" and Fortnite musical stings, which only add to the surreal nature of the video. After all the memes were read, Le recorded a sincere “Thank You” message for the many fans who had supported him and have gotten hyped over the upcoming Capcom fighting game. Le then asked fans to support the game when it comes out in June, accompanied by photos and videos of the voice actor at events like the Capcom Cup, posing with his character.
Alongside Luke from Street Fighter, Aleks Le has dubbed many characters in anime and video games. Some of these include Gamma 1 from Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Zenitsu Agatsuma from Demon Slayer, Sonon Kusakabe from Final Fantasy 7 Remake: Intergrade, and many more. Many fans are excited to see Luke in the sixth game, mostly due to Le's performance and how in-tune he is with the community.
