When I saw the fact that Luke’s Voice Actor was the guy that made the “You are not a gamer” copypasta dub and “I’m a level 1 goblin”, I knew he was in good hands
Very correct: The short version is that he suggested it because Luke is a gamer and "LET'S GOOOO!" is a common gamer celebration, but the people in charge were like "Wait where is he going? The match is over..." He basically just said "trust me on this" and did it, and everyone agreed it was really good.
Him and Maximillian Dood just immortalized Luke at this Evo's 2023. The whole crowd screaming TO MEMPHIS when Menard pulled Luke's CA on finals is priceless. Aleks engaging with the community, having fun and putting so much love and care into his work is just chef kiss.
The "misheard" Luke lines might be the best part of all of this. Between taking the long road to Memphis, and trying to figure out why he's shouting about Baseball (baby) during his Level 2, the hilarity just keeps rolling.
@@thegoodkindofweirdo The players were also letting the "WWE walk in" intro play because the crowd was doing the "Yeah! Yeah!" in time to the intro theme.
I actually like the character a lot actually from SF5 to 6 for not just how great he plays but witnessing Menard winning CPT with him. And Aleks is a phenomenal VA who that I can assume is the only actor promoting SF6 upon it's launch with all the funny memes,s***posts & just recently playing the game on Twitch with other VA's like Allegra Clark.
I feel like with any new game I get into, Allegra Clark is in it in some way 😂 She and Joe Zieja were huge in the Three Houses community with making the more overlooked characters pop out through funny af streams. So when I saw her with Aleks it took me back to that. Knew the funny Chluke man was gonna go far.
The one thing that I've found out from Aleks's work with Luke that amazed me is that originally, Luke wasn't going to say "let's go" as his round victory quote until Aleks convinced the producers to put that voice line in, because they had no idea of how the phrase was used in the FGC and gaming in general
In my opinion, Luke's appearance wasn't bad in SFV, it was the "another blonde fighter" label and design/move comparisons that formed around his debut as Season 5's last addition. His VA brings lot of charisma to the character, and I think his nostalgia costume would look great in SF6's art style.
Aleks might be one of the most successful damage control situations i have ever seen i mean luke went from the most hated character on sfto being one of the most likeable ones
The way that Aleks Le literally had to take the reins to bring forth a Luke that would strike the hearts of the skeptical masses is a job that's deserved to be paid in figures. He just deserves that.
Aleks did what 90% of game studios fail to do where he actively engages the community with the game and his character out of pure love for it. Even just booting up a stream with his co-workers like Zeno Robinson to play some matches goes a long way. It's also really fun to see that the voice behind the character is a real person and have their own personality outside of being cool and fun for corporate marketing at events/one off videos.
I never played Luke in SFV. Hell wasn't considering learning him, but Aleks passion and memes for the characters changed my tune. And now I yell beastmode baby when i hit the streets
I fell in love with Luke I think a bit earlier than most people. I really liked his personality in the betas, and his gameplay was super fun. His weird faces during the load screen, his super was super cool, and that PERFECT sound byte was super satisfying. The final nail in the head though was the Luke laughing at the custom characters video. Thanks Aleks, your photogenic too
Aleks is just a treasure of a person, he is damn hilarious and he craft the best charming personality to Luke, he is involve so heavily in making sure people love Luke that now when ever Luke does his lv2 or lv3 supers you hear the crowds in live tournaments yelling BEAST MODE BABY or TO MEMPHIS and is infectious how quick people have turn on Luke from hate to meh to genuine love and appreciation....not get me wrong, Ryu is and forever be to me the face of SF, but Luke thanks to Aleks, have become an official protagonist people can accept, not all but enough and that is more than fine with me.
Great vid! He was ok to me in 5 but i was not really all the way there. Then 6 happened and i was like... "I like this kid" then Aleks Le just enforced this even more... Alexs Le is the best
Capcom might not be paying him directly to do things but it is in his best interest that Luke does well as a character. If Luke comes back in any way and his voice is what rounds up the character he will be hired again for new roles as Luke. If people like his job as Luke he will be hired more by other companies. He may genuinely love voicing Luke and the character overall but let's not be oblivious to how important it is for him that Luke is well received.
If it wasn't for Aleks Le I would still be 50/50 on Like not to mention he's gonna be Voice Makoto Yuki (P3 MC) in P3 Reload this man made me fall in love with this character and I'm completely sold on him being Makoto Yuki
CAPCOM finally found the perfect formula for a new series face. All they had to do was look at what kind of person people want to relate to nowadays and combine that with a passionate voice actor to boot. Right place, right time, best passion seen.
the funny thing about luke is he is just like this guy i remember from high school.. he was like an extrovert who liked to dance and socialize and joke around
It’s like a mix of Capcom, letting Alex have fun with the role in Alex having an insane amount of fun with said roll like Luke’s my favorite character in six right now probably excluding ryu I grew up with that guy.
I got SF6 the day after Christmas since I got a PS5. I had never played a Street Fighter game besides SF2 The New Challengers on my WII U and my first go to character on SF6 was Luke. I thought he was super funny and I liked the way his voice sounded and so I looked up his VA and there we had it, Aleks Le. Since I've started watching Aleks's content, he's my favorite VA. He actually got me into voice acting and I want to do that when I'm grown. I've actually been doing some voice training and I think I'd get it pretty good in the VA industry. I've also bought/gotten into a bunch of media that Aleks is in such as SF6(duh), Persona 3 Reload, Solo Leveling, Cyberpunk Edgerunners(he plays Katsuo, the guy that beats up David), I was actually shocked when I figured out he plays Anji mito in Guilty Gear -Strive-(my favorite 2d fighting game), etc. Very iconic guy yes. Heres to more years of amazing content from Aleks. You're fricken awesome man. BEAST MODE BABY⬇️↙️⬅️⬇️↙️⬅️👊
Luke definitely was improved a lot with the jump to SF6, he's less cocky and more of a chill mentor, same goes for his design, but yeah Aleks really sold me on liking Luke, and the best part is that the memes and jokes are actually very on character for Luke even if it's all fanmade, I think he's easily my second favorite SF protag after Ryu (please don't kill me Alex fans).
CAPCOM actually has been pushing for Luke, Jamie, and Kimberly as the new trio of faces for the series and… Yea, this trio of fighters earned that mark in my opinion.
Exactly, Luke went from just Ryu but younger to a lovable smug shitposter thanks to Aleks Le. I want to play Luke because of Aleks. Oh and that chicken thigh arms too.
A character that everybody loves immediately is one thing, but a character that's hated at first and gets turned around into being loved is pure gold. Honestly that kind of thing may happen even less often. This is slightly into left field, but the one other example thereof that comes to mind is Shigaraki, from My Hero Academia. Guy was lame at first. Just a whiner villain wannabe with a threatning enough but ultimately kind of mediocre superpower. But in recent seasons, he's become one of the top 3 coldest dudes in the show, with a chilling backstory that even made me take a few minutes to sit back first before going back in to watch another episode. Capcom and Aleks polished a stone and found diamond, and I think there's something special in that.
Honestly I have to praise Capcom for letting him do all of this as well. Most other companies would look at Aleks Le as a brand risk and restrict how much he can do, but he can just do whatever. Especially him playing SF6 with the other voice actors and not having it feel like some corporate marketing stunt.
As a newer street fighter fan, alex le definitely helped in making me love this guy, i remember watching solo leveling and seeing alex be a total shthead to the haters which just made me like him, but then getting into street fighter i was not looking at bro. I was barely sold on luke being the next face after ryu. Then after hearing about how alex le voices luke just made me go "ok... Let's see if he's better than m bison or ryu tho" And now i literally have a copy of his gloves, and his hoodie 😂
100% agree. Now this lovable silly billy is among my favorite Street Fighter characters ever and it’s mostly because of how you wouldn’t exactly expect a trained fighter with military experience to be such a dork lol
i found aleks le w his role in p3r, then in gg strive (in the game he's credited as kai min) as anji. finding out he voiced luke, i didnt see the appeal until i saw the memes, then i got into sf6
I love Luke. When I think of StreetFighter6 I think of Luke. I’ve never really owned or played StreetFighter. But there was something about StreetFighter6 that just made me wanna buy it. Was probably Luke now that I think about it.
What's also great is he doesn't even sing. The TMNT cover he did was the first thing he time he had ever really sang, and he did it because LUKE WOULD DO IT. Maybe Aleks wouldn't, but Luke would.
My exact toughts wraped in a video. Also fun facts their several instances he personaly requested voice chang lines. They gave him a shot and they sed yea thats better.
i like the voice actor far more then the character. if we get a new marvel vs Capcom. Luke personality should be the voice actor. just a loveable dumb ass.
Not gonna lie, Aleks succeeded in making Luke a likeable character
YESSIR
He has always been likable
@@kingofdragons7 of course. Never said he wasn't.
@@yamchayaku yes you did
@@kingofdragons7 now you're just trolling. go away
just give Luke an Aleks skin at this point, capcom
the cowards
I would pay for that
Finally, playable Chluke
I want that Zenistu skin.
Or at least a Anos Voldigoad skin[since Aleks also voiced Anos]
When I saw the fact that Luke’s Voice Actor was the guy that made the “You are not a gamer” copypasta dub and “I’m a level 1 goblin”, I knew he was in good hands
Aleks even went so far to play the game with other voice actors and they did voice overs of their respective characters
Hearing them reading out the text-only dialogue in World Tour was a highlight for sure.
@@Darkkfated hearing the "the silence is deafening" dj line voiced is a new kind of glorious
I just took 3 gas station dick pills
If I remember correctly, he practically fought for the "Let's gooo!" round-win line.
Very correct: The short version is that he suggested it because Luke is a gamer and "LET'S GOOOO!" is a common gamer celebration, but the people in charge were like "Wait where is he going? The match is over..." He basically just said "trust me on this" and did it, and everyone agreed it was really good.
@@SwerveStarEx Aleks Le seems like a reliable guy and a fun dude to hang out with.
Him and Maximillian Dood just immortalized Luke at this Evo's 2023. The whole crowd screaming TO MEMPHIS when Menard pulled Luke's CA on finals is priceless. Aleks engaging with the community, having fun and putting so much love and care into his work is just chef kiss.
*that's a wild name* 💀
Luke singlehandedly put Memphis on the map.
The "misheard" Luke lines might be the best part of all of this. Between taking the long road to Memphis, and trying to figure out why he's shouting about Baseball (baby) during his Level 2, the hilarity just keeps rolling.
They did that???? I gotta go back because I did NOT hear this, hold up
@@thegoodkindofweirdo The players were also letting the "WWE walk in" intro play because the crowd was doing the "Yeah! Yeah!" in time to the intro theme.
A lesson to take from this: A passionate VA + said VA that loves their character = holy FUCK?
I actually like the character a lot actually from SF5 to 6 for not just how great he plays but witnessing Menard winning CPT with him. And Aleks is a phenomenal VA who that I can assume is the only actor promoting SF6 upon it's launch with all the funny memes,s***posts & just recently playing the game on Twitch with other VA's like Allegra Clark.

Honestly, Aleks has become what I strive for as an aspiring voice actor.
Good luck!
@@reon5747 Thank you!
Loved your Goku vid,good luck!
@@Cr102yOh my gosh, thank you!
You have to go to Memphis first.
In my opinion, Luke's appearance wasn't bad in SFV, it was the "another blonde fighter" label and design/move comparisons that formed around his debut as Season 5's last addition. His VA brings lot of charisma to the character, and I think his nostalgia costume would look great in SF6's art style.
agreed
Yeah i want his shirtless mma outfit back
nostalgia, lol
@@All-Musclehe's definitely glowed up personality wise, but I'm just a lonely woman and I wanna see his muscles 🥺
@@Egzvorghow can you have nostalgia for something that happened a few years ago?
Aleks might be one of the most successful damage control situations i have ever seen i mean luke went from the most hated character on sfto being one of the most likeable ones
we're all going down
TO MEMPHIS
We are gonna get out of the Streets™ of Memphis with this one 🔥🔥
Luke should should a sidescroller beatum up called streets of memphis
That man went to EVO dressed up as Luke and get a picture with both of the productor and director of the game... TOTAL LEGEND
Guy's got great range. I can't believe he's both Luke and Thorfinn.
HE’S THORFINN???
So it’s like, Mario, I mean, Charles Martinet as Paarthurnax from Skyrim?
Aleks is also Zenitsu, _and_ Nightmarrione
@@ohmeohmicahalso Gamma 1 from DBS Super Hero
@@malcovich_gamesyeah and also Magenta from DBS Super Hero
The way that Aleks Le literally had to take the reins to bring forth a Luke that would strike the hearts of the skeptical masses is a job that's deserved to be paid in figures. He just deserves that.
Man's now the persona 3 protagonist climbing up that ladder fast.
Him and Jonah Scott are probably my favorite american VAs.
I wish Jonah was in the cast as well, imagine him and Aleks interacting with each other.
Aleks did what 90% of game studios fail to do where he actively engages the community with the game and his character out of pure love for it. Even just booting up a stream with his co-workers like Zeno Robinson to play some matches goes a long way.
It's also really fun to see that the voice behind the character is a real person and have their own personality outside of being cool and fun for corporate marketing at events/one off videos.
Luke isn't the new face of Street Fighter.
Aleks Le is.
Even better having him sing as luke for the TNMT theme song like he was betting his soul in a karaoke booth
Aleks’ love for Luke is contagious dammit
You see, Luke is literally just Aleks Ye. You are not immune to propaganda, it worked on me.
When did the propaganda get to you?
I never played Luke in SFV. Hell wasn't considering learning him, but Aleks passion and memes for the characters changed my tune. And now I yell beastmode baby when i hit the streets
100% same boat. I started playing Luke a month ago because of Aleks. He's actually pretty fun too imo.

Great vid! He was ok to me in 5 but i was not really all the way there. Then 6 happened and i was like... "I like this kid" then Aleks Le just enforced this even more... Alexs Le is the best
I already liked Luke before SF6 but Aleks Le made me love him more.
1997: Alex is the new SF protagonist and he doesn't catch on.
2023: Aleks is the new SF protagonist and everybody loves him.
DUDE THAT THUMBNAIL IS SO SICK THOUGH
Capcom might not be paying him directly to do things but it is in his best interest that Luke does well as a character.

Mans a memelord and a shitposter, love that dude
the line "Beast mode baby" is what made me have my interest in Luke tbh lol
BEAST MODE BABY
If it wasn't for Aleks Le I would still be 50/50 on Like not to mention he's gonna be Voice Makoto Yuki (P3 MC) in P3 Reload this man made me fall in love with this character and I'm completely sold on him being Makoto Yuki
This guy is awesome. Not only does he help Luke but he get other VA’s from the game. I’m a fan.

He voiced the tmnt song for the crossover lmao wtf
Luke really turned into my favorite street fighter character
Also the new design is very good in my opinion, simple but effective.
Aleks Le is a win, always. Every time.
I KNEW there was gonna be a video about Aleks Le's selling of Luke soon xD
Can't blame ya, the memes are funny. Do it for the memes
Aleks Le. Glad this is the one who will voice the MC in Persona 3 Recode.
They didn't just try with Alex but also Abel and Rashid
We need more VAs to do shitposts and be passionate like Alelks

Nahhh, he looks like Popeye, don't lie
(No hate, I love him too)
He was never like Ryu. No idea wtf you're talking about. He's more similar to Ken if anything.
@@MsMvsci was gonna say, lol
I like how everyone has really turned around on Luke.
It’s weird because he wasn’t much of a “main character” but a “beginner character”
Luke probably could be my favorite character
I actually always liked Luke from SFV and I hope we get some of his skins from that game in SF6
I'm also glad that he voiced the MC in P3R.
My favorite thing Aleks Le did for Luke was convince Capcom to let him go "OraOraOra!" By saying he's an anime fan and would know that from JoJo
FEAST MODE BABY!
Really hope he continues to do this for his role as the p3 protag.
Wait… is Luke just Aleks’ self-insert?
Glad you put a spotlight by making a video! Capcom NEEDS to see this.
A character that everybody loves immediately is one thing, but a character that's hated at first and gets turned around into being loved is pure gold. Honestly that kind of thing may happen even less often.

If Aleks Le doesn't get nominated for best voice actor in TGA, I won't even watch it.

I’m glad I’m not the only one this happened too… I just see Luke as an extension of Aleks now

and don't forget to pack your stuff cuz we're all going to Memphis
Dewd, youu luke hewge
Aleka Le: “I’m too good!”

Making outtta Memphis with this one
In the end, we all really did go to Memphis.
Luke still needs a better fighting attire
My exact toughts wraped in a video. Also fun facts their several instances he personaly requested voice chang lines. They gave him a shot and they sed yea thats better.
I remember in sfv when everyone just hated him with a passion
beast mode baby!
i like the voice actor far more then the character.
if we get a new marvel vs Capcom. Luke personality should be the voice actor.
just a loveable dumb ass.
not gonna lie, it made me want to go to Memphis because of Luke.
You mention Alex, the character, but what if Alex's voice was Aleks Le? Alekseption.
