  • 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!

    ***EDIT*** Patch hands on preview video now live! Check vid description for a link
    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!

    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!!!

    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?

    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
