Love this video demonstration of what happens with the Street Fighter 6 live commentary feature if both players just don't do anything.

It's a testament to how well thought out this feature is that the commentator "finds" topics to talk about for most of the running time of the video, without repeating himself too much because they recorded him saying the same things in a lot of different ways. Even when nothing is happening, he can still describe conditions:

-The timer. At the big intervals the commentator makes notes.

-The gauges. Drive is naturally full and super is naturally empty, and so it's reasonable for the commentator to speculate that the players will want to put their resources to use. Even if they never do.

-The range. They're just standing there at starting range, but every fighting game player knows there's a lot to starting range and of course they've recorded lines about that.

-The round condition. In the second and final round the commentator is noticeably more excited and the lines reflect the urgency of the situation. Even though it's not urgent!

It's impressive that the commentary feature can fill in time like this without sounding too robotic or fake.
