Street Fighter 6 Akuma Guide! Advanced Tips & Tricks

I wanted to share a Street Fighter 6 Akuma guide that covers a bunch of cool tips and tricks. This tutorial covers many of the latest essentials that you should make use of in order to force your opponent into the corner. Akuma has a ton of combos that you can confirm from just about anything and anywhere, which I make sure to explain. Feel free to add your own strategies as well. I also showed a few of my favorite raging demon setups.

Let me know if you guys like these kind of guides! I've been streaming a ton so if you don't mind me doing these videos unscripted, I can do a lot more. Thanks for watching, and don't forget there's timestamps!

[@SlaineReigns]

I like this format cuz its unscripted and knowledge is still knowledge. Imo this is very clear and concise. Thanks Vesper👍

[@Sharrd]

I think your approach to this with notes planned out was fantastic. I know I learned alot and wish I could find videos like this on every character season 2.

[@arielgomes7989]

This was really insightful. Most people make guides as soon as the character comes out, trying to capitalize on all the people trying to learn, but more often than not, even the guide maker's knowledge is surface level. Good job making your guide based on practical experience.

[@suryusuke]

real

[@HappyTrees]

💯. Good point.

[@divinothy]

nice tips, thanks alot, i wish there were more frame traps setups to catch players who dont respect akuma's pressure, sometimes i feel like my turns are being stolen easily

[@jameslevang2254]

After meaty fHP you get crMP which can go into OD Adamant and give you the world. Don’t cripple yourself with LK there bro

[@ouranos0101]

Vesper, will you produce these quality videos for Bison when he's out?

[@alchemystn2o]

Glad I muted the stream for this. Perfect listen during my lunch break. 😁

[@flakdampler11]

Dude, best Akuma guide out there!

[@Locii97]

This is exactly what I needed. I like Akuma but I'm feeling the lower health. He fun though

[@Thisisdell]

This video gave me lots of ideas! THanks!

[@glennxserge]

Super helpful, Vesper. Thanks for the deep dive.

[@fitzciaran]

This type of guide is great, thanks!

[@carlitojenkins5088]

For side switch you can either do the hasho geki then back grab for no bars, or from his light tatsu bnb do a heavy empty demon flip, leaves you 5+ and on the other side in a lot of cases. Both for no bars, can also be done from heavy hasho geki second input but leaves you only 2+ or 3+ and doesn’t always side switch if they back roll. Happy gaming 🎉

[@deusrex11]

Thanks for the knowledge bro 🙌

[@terrestrialsoup]

Keep the frame data on. It’s useful to see. Who’s not interested in frame data? Crazy fools.

[@LimitRX]

Another certified Vesper classic

[@alchemystn2o]

Big Reads = Big Deeps 😆

[@kayanims]

Best Akuma guide ever!

[@Cellus5000]

Another way to know when you got the fireball charged is that you will hear a bell ring when charged, youll also hear another bell when released, if done frame perfect itll be one sound

[@ForbiddenLinks]

You can raging demon after any demon flip option when they block (dive kick, overhead or slide). They can jab after the dive kick but i get so many people with this. Also demon after st.hk on block.

[@Bigboilacroix]

Good vid

[@terrestrialsoup]

Light Tatsu - heavy Tatsu works in the corner on everyone I believe

[@antoniogonzalez115]

Yes!! Thanks

[@SunCityGamer]

Hell yes 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@iroh6730]

Forward heavy punch you can actually heart tatsu just gotta time it better

[@googleuser9073]

I’m still new to fighting games. At what points would you want to opt for a light combo, a medium combo or a heavy combo?

[@heavenlytriforce7858]

Sideswitch off DI clash back heavy and heavy fire punch just one hit

[@heavenlytriforce7858]

Back heavy kick-heavy fire punch. Doesn't work on big characters though

[@user-xl7lb2wo2w]

I saw Shuto sometimes use 4HK + 236P for pressure after 214LK > Cr.HK > 2x F.Dash. Is this safe with only +4 advantage?

[@Phronesis59]

It’s meant to blow up delayed tech and delayed normals but it does lose to wakeup jabs.

[@user-xl7lb2wo2w]

@@Phronesis59 thanks

[@vondongaming]

Yo

[@pcharl01]

Akuma’s teleport could have been his drive rush IMO,

[@KaitouKaiju]

That would have been cool. However, I am happy with the command grab option too

[@jondeiconic2552]

He is more deadly and powerful

[@jaelkyle8809]

Welp

[@tegrity]

That back heavy kick sucks Half of a puma's combos.You can't even use because it's not a good anti.Air at all

[@zunny9040]

Tf are all these acronyms in the comments someone teach me😭

[@Shinryuken15]

Which do you need help with?

[@zunny9040]

[@workoutfanatic7873]

lol they glowed up Ken even though he’s a alleged terrorist, he looks as young as his alpha days. Ryu keeps stubble though. 😂

[@kriscotd76]

Akuma advance tip: after air fire ball ,jump again and throw ex air fire ball ..Rinse and repeat till nothing sticks lol..Autopilot ass character.
