- I was very lucky to be invited by Capcom to try out Akuma and the new Street Fighter 6 balance patch ahead of its release later this month on the 22nd of May, and I thought I would share what I learned about the character with you! Akuma is as cool as he's ever been, with all the classics like demon flips, air fireballs, raging demons and all that so lets get into the weeds about what the character is, and also show you some gameplay to boot!

Hey its Akuma! The guy what from street fighter! Capcom was incredibly generous and invited me in to gets some hands on gameplay time with Akuma and the new SF6 balance patch so heres some thoughts on Akuma in general. Don't worry, he's super strong and freeform and basically everyone will be able to get something out of him (although he's a bit lower health...). The Raging Demon himself is indeed back and if you like SF at all I am sure you will have a blast with this character when he launches, so give the vid a watch, leave a like ya liked it, and find out what he's all about!
Please release the balance patch video as soon as possible. Please.
How low is his health?
I actually hope u show up on Wong’s show Triple KO
@@gr8powerfuloz86 im not famous enough lol
@@mortisedthegamer7781,000 less then everyone I believe. He’s got the Glass Jaw as always!
Very glad that Harada allowed the Street Fighter team to bring in a Tekken character into the game. I can't even believe they gave him a unique design too!
😂
Lol
Capcom allowed akuma into Tekken
🤦♂️
@@JermainskeeNo, it’s the other way around
There's gonna be a billion Akumas online when this drops and I'll be one of them and I'm not sorry
The servers might crash the day he launches😂. I wouldn't even be suprised.
@@DonYoGi8331a lot of people are finally gonna jump into the game when he comes out.
@@MrShinTensei alot of people consider that day SF6's release date😂
@MrShinTensei because that game is dead dead. At least they will see someone else other then ken and luke.
@@DonYoGi8331 facts 😂
He makes faces in the VS screen, that's all I needed to know
Every character does
He better have a smile expression 😂
Like that Thierry Henry meme
I wasnt sure if they would let akuma be goofy.
Ngl
@DonYoGi8331
Pretty sure when he was made friend with Elena, they could.
I'm sorry but that CA is one of the coolest supers I've seen in a fighting game. Raging Demon will always be special but that CA is incredible. Also love how the camera glitches and breaks in his walkout sequence, goddam that is cool af
it doesn’t just glitch, you straight up see akuma teleporting in and punching the camera like the over the top asshole he is
His CA is awesome. Kinda reminds me of KKZ from 3rd strike
Totally agree on the CA. It goes toe to toe with Luke’s.
A PURE DEMONSTRATION OF RAGE !!!
@@waveysamurai7673 Yeah that's exactly what I thought, those "waves" it emits are very reminiscent of the KKZ FX.
Him DBZ style ki blasting you to the face execution style is now one of my favorite CAs. Reminds me of his super in Third Strike but in cinematic form
I love how they kept akuma a glass Cannon but gave him all the tools to open you up & do big damage. I always tell my friends, whenever they ask what it's like to play akuma in older street fighter titles (mainly USF4) I always described it as "it's like driving a very fast car, as long as you're not crashing, you're winning"
nice analogy , love it
Could you explain what Seth is like in sf4 if played
@@Bigfellr Seth, thats a little harder to explain. I guess its like playing rock paper scissors & sometimes you get to throw both scissors & rock or any other combination. And if you somehow someway lose, you get shot in the foot. Lol idk
Wait he’s a glass cannon ? How so
He's not the strongest in-game.
The long gorilla arms was such an amazing idea. The hair, vascularity, simple but painful grabs. Amazing redesign man! Thanks Roof
Gross old man fitness abs made their way into the design too 😂❤🎉
@@epicon6 FR 😭
Here comes that time again where every Ryu main must stand strong...
My denjin buffs are sufficient...I must...resist...the Satsui no Hado!
I think I might succumb this time
Going 2 play both characters
I have been using the satsui no hado since alpha 3
Kinda hard when fireball pressure doesn’t exist anymore
god even his walkout is so good
the mf is a cryptid with a bodycount at this point
Akuma videos in my subscription feed jumpscare
I swear my feed got blessed with akuma videos all at the same time lmao
I didn't have tons of time with the build so full guide not quite yet lol. There will be a 2nd video early tomorrow covering some of the Season 2 balance changes as well! My time with checking out changes was a bit restricted cause im too dangerous to be left alone to find stuff out and spoil everything ahead of time, but don't worry I got some fun stuff for ya, plus a shining light of hope for Honda!
I'm so excited to see these changes. I love Akuma but somehow I'm so curious about the direction for the game.
My level of happiness and excitement is almost unbearable. Can't wait to see these changes, I have more confidence in them than ever.
How shining 🥺
let be honest we all bought the character pass for THIS single moment 😂❤
Bouncing between Justin, Max and Rooflemonger for the very mean practice of them all uploading at once😭
papa capcom dictates the upload time, so gotta abide by what they say
I cannot believe Big Roof showed us all the colors for Akuma, how handy is that! Definitely gotta hit the like button 🫡.
Those color palettes look so clean
yeah his colours are pretty sick
Really dislike many of goofy or neon palettes in sf6. Glad they treated Akuma w some respect
Immediately noticed that walk speed. He's going to be breaking ankles free asf
198 pounds!? I think the scale at Cap HQ might be broken guys.
He replaced all his blood with satsu no hado
200 at 5’10 though. 0% body fat from what it seems as well.
@@elijahoneill5228i guess that shit has negative weight lololol
Judging by proportions he should weight at least 240 lbs
Zangief is bigger than Brian Shaw, but weighs less than him? No way.
Honda is at least 400 Lbs not just 300.
Scales are definitively broken at Capcom.
@@axelfuryofficial8459 yeah I think you’re right. But the average guy in Japan is not very big so maybe they don’t know what a 200 pound guy actually looks like? 😂
Damn that CA hadouken to the face is one of the coolest things in SF period.
I can't describe the level of badassness of his drive parry idle and various stances animations
Akuma Smiling is absolutely terrifying
Hot damn!!! This video took me by surprise. Didn't expect any update on akuma. Thank you sir! 🙏
the fact that the command grab is tied to the teleport i would imagine is satisfying from a gameplay perspective but just visually it looks so cool compared to if it was its own separate thing
Akuma looks like he hits like a BEAST
so many cool little things I'm seeing
Capcom always goes crazy with Akuma
Wow! No kidding!! Congrats Man! You deserve it. Killer Video! Thank You! 👊😎💯
This makes so incredibly happy! Congrats!
Hey I love you for mentioning Honda you the real MVP brotha
Thank you for the high quality content, as usual!
Most in-depth video I've ever seen. Awesome work.
The one handed hadoken critical art was absolutely badass, definitely looking forward to playing the raging demon
Yes colors, thank you! I've been waiting for this!
Yooo loving the vid seein things definitely didnt get to in the trailer but this match is even crazier🤣🔥
The Honda mention is going to make me sleep like a baby tonight.
Wait nothing is happening to him right?
This is my first street fighter game, so I never really got a hands on experience with Akuma but he looks really sick in this game. I genuinely want to try him out, hell he might be another main for me!
sometimes i like to add new phrases to my Rooflemonger drinking game, today i added "not the least of which" which is one of my favorites
Thanks for showing all the colors!
Akuma's fist getting blocked like that tells that age is getting him.
Love to see you getting the early looks too friend! You deserve it! You’re why my Grappler in DnF is so nasty! Lol
Keep up the good work fam 💯👏🏽👏🏽
Marisa's mains rubbing their hands in Gladius
Great video. Akuma in SF6 looks sooo good. His fireball game is on point. Can’t wait to play him
*sees all the colors*
Well Gee. I better hit that like button for the content Roofle knows what we came to see. Thank you kindly.
He looks great and I can't wait for the balance vid tomorrow!
You're VIP now EC! CONGRATS!
Roof thanks for the video man,saludos 🇩🇴 that hellooooo and welcome!! Of yours will be my ring tone
You got me SO curious about Honda now!
7:17 the legendary Canadian-Italian
That Critical Art was so freaking cool!
Rooflemonger thank you so much for showing us all of the colors.
0:34 lol jokes on you, I already liked the video frame 1
Akuma looks intense LEGEND as ever! BRILLIANT!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Akuma looks really cool, and the news about Honda gives me hope.
Boy does he look broken. As a Marisa player I feel like he's going to be a nightmare
oh marisa its gonna be her favourite match. She's gonna break low health akuma over her knee like nobody else
@@rooflemonger I hope so
Obviously I don't know how the matchup is gonna play out yet but just from looking at this if you play it slow with Marisa you'll get results. One clean jump in and that'll probably be the round because of Akumas low health
I would be surprised if she can't kill him with 1 or 2 touches easy
The system mechanics are gonna make him easier to deal with than previous street fighters
May 22nd is my birthday and I’ve always loved playing akuma, he looks like a top tier character already!!
Amazing video. I can't wait to play my boy akuma
I swear roof's videos always make my day!
🙏
Akuma got that roid gut bloat
Great video! thanks!
The color palette team went crazy!!!
That L3 super is FREAKIN INSANELY COOL. ❤🔥
Clicked for the view count, stayed for the honda hint. Thanks!!
I can still be a sucker for combos sometimes, so I always appreciate when a character has freeform combos. No doubt that Akuma's gonna be a very fun character in SF6.
Welcome Home Akuma! 🔥 also, Im crossing my fingers for a Kimberly buff 🤞🏾🤞🏾
One of my all time favorite characters in back and looking better than ever
thank you roof man
I have been waiting for this 🤤
Rooflemonger. I loooove you
Goat for showing those colors
no invincible teleport and no back jump air fireball (not even od), I bet akuma will suffer a lot. One time you get in the corner and you're dead.
ROOFLE YOU LUCKY LUCKY GORILLA
Big hyped! Thanks for the juicy info!
I’m so pumped for Akuma.
SF6 is my first game in a series and I never played Akuma, so I'm completely unaware what should I expect but your enthusiasm surely puts me on a hype train as well xD
Same for me but low Health will be my advantage.
nah that teleport should've been checked there ngl 12:17
Dude I really I appreciate honda hope. 💯!!
Need to start working on my anti marisa tech immediately.
Akuma got new fan base in Tekken and they more loyal to him than SF fans 😂😂He gained our respect after going toe to toe against Tekkens Mishima family.
In the AKI costume 3 waiting room here!
Cant wait to watch him be buffed over the seasons
I love how Akuma isn’t even looking at the opponent on the vs screen as if they are beneath him
They fixed his lion mane by giving him a beard which makes it complete
Man, I'm so happy for you getting acknowledged by Papa Capcom. I know this is getting more regular now, but it is still wild to see.
@blatheringblatherskite666 wow, you're probably fun at parties.
@blatheringblatherskite666 what'd CAPCOM do that deserves such a grudge? If this was a CS2 video and you were dissing VALVe, I'd see your point
You’re the best dang SF6 youtube content cover/creator. I’ll FT5 anyone who disagrees.
🔥 THANKS MAN
Yep glad I pre ordered it
Love that his EX DP is the VT1 version. Which itself is a tribute to Misogi.
Thank You ❤
Liking for the akuma colors alone
Hey roof, are you able to DR after air fireball? Love your content btw, great video
That is insane amount of damage
I grew up shooting hadukens back and forth with my brother, pulling him over with Scorpion's spear, then ripping his head off to finish him (we didn't realize they were different games as children). But I didn't get into fighting games until the end of SF5's life when I started with Akuma as a main since he was easy to get into and his moves are just so cool. I've been anxiously waiting see what direction they took Akuma in SF6 and I gotta say that after watching this video, I couldn't be more hyped. I bought an all-button controller so i can get a feel for it and be ready to Lava Fist player's so hard they'll wish they never crossed my path in silver bracket!!!
glad akuma trained with kuma in t7, dude looks huge
Yellow hair Akuma is SIIIICK
I cant wait to see what the meta is with him
Akuma is not one of my favorite characters, but how cool he looks wow.
dont worry roofle bro, i always click like b4 watching the god tier content
Excited to come back to sf6. Didn’t like the roster up to this point so I’m looking forward to playing who I always mained
Man I can’t believe that SF6 is finally coming out. The beta was sick tho.
What does this mean? Because I can’t tell if you’re joking or not or is it because Capcom makes other “Editions” or something?
Maaan i’m so excited
The fact they removed his 2 main SF5 weaknesses (range and hadoken zoning) means hes gonna be HELLA crazy, i gotta play him now, no ones hitting it for me right now
Really Cool Stage. 👊😎💯
most important info of the video comes at 00:29 thank you
INSANE!!!! He looks so DEMONIC!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
