there's a shin akuma theme in the game, you can hear it and select it in the new bgm settings, im not sure if it's the same one that plays during the SiRN akuma fight, but it does imply that there's probably a shin akuma fight in arcade mode, or that it's planned in the future

I learn a character through doing a lot of arcade until I can go through hardest on 12 with few losses. Lvl 8 cpu is the most deranged enemy I’ve ever seen in a game
@@RoderickThe13 So far cheese tactics with Gief is useless to me... I try a Suplex, he armor breaks it or backsteps. I try a Ex-SPD outta nowhere and now he suddenly jump happy...

just want to leave this here for those who may not have heard or recognized, the two special supers shin akuma is using are the misogi(input is 2qcb+k), first seen in capcom vs snk 2, and the kongou kokuretsuzan(input is triple tap down + 3p), first seen in third strike. there is also a way you can use these in a normal match as akuma: do his back taunt, then hold down + spam all punch/kick buttons until you see him pull out and eat a rice ball. you will also get access to his double air fireball which is qcb+p
The kanji that appears on Shin Gouki's back is "Shinjin" (God-like Person), and has its origins in Capcom vs. SNK 2. The Shinjin kanji returned in Street Fighter 5 where it appeared on the backs of both Gouki and his "Shin" (True) form after a "Shun Goku Satsu" (Flash Prison Murder) has been performed.
Shin Gouki always got a slightly different version. At least the kanji at the end is different. Instead of "Ten" (Heaven), Shinjin (man like a god) is used. This was back in SNK Vs. Capcom 2
@clydu91 The kanji on Shin Gouki's back has changed from "Ten" (Heavens) to "Shinjin" (God-like Person). The changing of kanji between the two forms of Gouki bears its origin in Capcom vs. SNK 2. The Shinjin kanji returned in Street Fighter 5, appearing on the backs of both Gouki and his "Shin" (True) form after a "Shun Goku Satsu" (Flash Prison Murder) has been performed.
I did. I told Mick Gordon that SF6 has Shin Akuma and can he do a theme for him, he basically said sure and he created this brilliant theme for him with some motifs from his old theme. Mick gave it to me and I sent it to Capcom but I listened to a bit of it. This theme is truly great from the brilliant mind of Mick Gordon
I ain't beating the CPU 8 Akuma anytime soon...but I can still get points for the Giant Event with my Avatar...that's an easier challenge and every time you beat Akuma it's 4000 points.
If you just want it in game, it's given freely in the music playlist thing that you can do now. If you mean you want it to keep I'm sure it'll be somewhere...
I'm glad that I purchased Akuma...I'm looking forward to this...and I did Akuma in Arcade...so far he hasn't disappointed gonna look into this further. I've waited since SF4 for a good version of Akuma to spawn...its happened!
Awesome Max. The Attack Mode looks like a really mode too Play, Level 8 Shin Akuma or SiRN Akuma looks tougher than the standard Level 8 Akuma but a good thing you get Points regardless for just Fighting him. Wake up Demon after a Demon was Dope 😀.
Was literally waiting on this after seeing Justin Wong feel the fire. Man this shin akuma is crazy. Rumours you can play as him if you perfect him twice.
Na, from what I’m seeing and hearing, you first do Akuma’s taunt where he sits down and press the taunt again as he his is getting up to make him eat a rise ball. After he eats all of it, Akuma’s eyes light up and he becomes Shin Akuma.
Nope, just do back taunt so Akuma sits down, then do down taunt so he starts eating rice, and when he finishes his eyes glow and you have access to anything Shin Akuma can do
The kanji on Shin Gouki's back is known as "Kishin" (Literal Translation: Demon God/Figurative Translation: Fierce Deity). This kanji was first seen in Street Fighter 4, where after a what-if version of Gouki that is consumed by the "Satsui no Hado" (Surge of Murderous Intent) which goes by the name of "Oni" (Ogre) performs the "Shun Goku Satsu" (Flash Prison Murder). The literal translation of Kishin is a descriptor for Oni's power, while the figurative translation is meant to reference the "Wrathful Deities" in the "Tantric" tradition of "Buddhism".
@@hectoraliegbe9429 actually, I'm just curious if the Kanji changes depending on how much of his power he is using. Like if it changes if he goes full power and turns Shin
@25shadow11 The changing of kanji between the two forms of Gouki bears its origin in Capcom vs. SNK 2. In that game, after Gouki absorbs "Orochi" power from Rugal, he was transformed into a new version of his "Shin" (True) form where the kanji on his back changes from "Ten" (Heavens) to "Shinjin" (God-like Person). The Shinjin kanji on Shin Gouki's back symbolized that the former is not merely unleashing his full power but has achieved the power rivaling that of a deity. The Shinjin kanji returned in Capcom Fighting Evolution once again on the back of Shin Gouki. However, in Street Fighter 5, the kanji can be seen even on the back on the "base" form of Gouki as well as his Shin form after he performs the Shun Goku Satsu.
The kokuretsu zan super has to be my main secret super art and of my favourites too after the demon attack super from akuma. This is akuma of sf6 is a real impregnable monster that's for sure. Seeing max dedicate videos for street fighter 6 again makes me wanna play akuma more like I said. Who knows if max is going to stay on sf 6 to play akuma all day everyday and abandon mk 1 or t8 most likely not cause hes waiting for takeda and t8 he might return to it but as of now he is going on akuma mode. I'll keep watching these matches until I try to have the year 1 pass. seeing these matches at least is like I'm trying the character myself.
This may be popular enough that they do more frequent Giant Attack events. Not sure what their plans are, although it was implied this won't be the last one.
I'm just a casual, i died like 50 times before i got my first win with Ryu. I can only wish i was as good as Max. I did find it somewhat easier using Akuma though, with around 10 losses before a win on average today.
Man I miss the old arcade days. Waiting for your turn, on the arcade, to play tag 2 😁 just chatting with the other guys about tekken since you all know each other 😁.
Got to love this new Akuma, to grow a beard like that means Akuma must have shaved a lot in the past to maintain his clean shaven features 😁. The dude manscapes 😁
I thought the fight against Giant Akuma was going to be a LITERAL ONE ON ONE FIGHT like any other fight in Street Fighter, but its just you winning enough fight money to attack Giant Akuma by defeating "SiRn Akuma"
Shin Akuma is only tough on those who didn't put in the work in World Tour. I get one 360 on him with my level 90 avatar and I take off 70% health. lol
ok i haven't gotten a chance to play akuma in sf6 since i took a break from the game but, can the custom characters in the tour mode use the raging demon?
There's some implication of this. They added stuff to World Tour with this update that confirms he was brought back from the dead. So he *might* be in the season 2 DLC.
Max, did you know that you can play as Shin Akuma if you do the Akuma taunt where he sits and immediately command another taunt so that once he finishes doing the animation he enters the Shin state? You also have access to 2 new super moves taken from Street Fighter 3
If only Sf6 had more music like this. You can play music from SF4 now tho, so...now music is not a problem in this game. Also, I like that this is not just a cheat bs cpu, this Gouki has more animations and moves.
Max got a perfect on a giant Akuma. All those years of Boss Rage really paid off.
Indeed
And defeated him on the first try.....
He didn't play kof boss yet
The fact that Akuma punched Max and it transitioned into his intro is insane.
Yes. That's called editing.
@@EldenAshesno, it’s called excellent editing.
It's called typical transition
dat shit was tuff😭🔥
@@fariskhalifa8403and what you’re doing, is called excellent glazing
Akuma CPU seems to like luring Max into a false sense of security by letting him take the first match and then bodying him afterward.
As someone who is still getting recommended the beginner servers, it's wild to see how active even they have become during this event haha
Same, was trying to last night and he beats me allot ._.;
12:22 The symbol on Shin Akuma's back is different. Really shows how much love they put into Akuma.
same as in CVS2 good shit
It's a fused version of the Japanese kanji 鬼神 *"Kishin"* (demon god/fierce deity).
fun fact; It's implied that SiRN Akuma is a robot just like the Copy Fighters SiRN makes in World Tour, so technically this might qualify as cyber akuma. Just wish it had been more prominent in the design.
Characters win imply It's more a holographic program/virtual akuma
So Data Akuma would be more accurate

He definitely took that first loss personally
Takes me 15 matches to get one round of this Akuma, Max gets it first try, my goodness.
But then he got like a 15 lose streak against him tho 😅
J. Wong did it in his 11th try, don't feel bad :D
i didn't lose a single one, fight him using world tour character
@@cagethelonewolf how do you use the world tour character against CPU Akuma? There's no option to select your character other than the actual SF6 characters
He can't really deal with Honda buttslam spam, I've found.
SF6 keeping the Sick Lion Mane Akuma had in SF5 was very much Appreciated
He looks far better in 6
Except it doesn’t look awful now
Yeah it’s awesome
He looked hella funky in 5 though. Thankfully he looks way better with it now
Nobody liked that sf5 look
"I messed up once and I died!" Akuma out here showin Max what its like to be a new player again 😂
12:25 that was personal 😂😂😂
Did you hear how FAST he input the command? Is there a shortcut or is Max just insanely fast?
@@MordeCHAOS he's just that fast

Kinda small though
@@sky-oq5mr Well he is Japanese, so that's not too surprising.
It fits extra well because Akuma's face has always looked kinda lion-like.

Level 7 - Good fight, sometimes goes full cheese mode

just beat this after like 50 f**kin tries and was wondering if Max was gonna do a boss rage-like video on it
just want to leave this here for those who may not have heard or recognized, the two special supers shin akuma is using are the misogi(input is 2qcb+k), first seen in capcom vs snk 2, and the kongou kokuretsuzan(input is triple tap down + 3p), first seen in third strike. there is also a way you can use these in a normal match as akuma: do his back taunt, then hold down + spam all punch/kick buttons until you see him pull out and eat a rice ball. you will also get access to his double air fireball which is qcb+p

天（ten)↑
滅（metsu)↑

Just finished watching justin do this and max took him out super fast its crazy
Shin Akuma even gets a kind of unique version of the Raging Demon too thats cool 12:12

Sickest intro transition all 2024. Hats off sir💯
I like how Max got the braindead AI Akuma when the rest of us are dying out here
exactly
This was awesome. Really cool event for Akuma. Hopefully we see similar stuff in later seasons.
Seeing Max 1st try SiRN Akuma after taking like 99 attempts myself and even seeing Jwong struggle a bit makes me think Max is just that different.
Tokido took some vicious ass whoopings too. Max beat him convincingly twice lol

Akuma is fighting his inner Demons
Just saw you can actually play as Shin. Such a cool easter egg.
The fact that you can play this version of Akuma makes it cooler.
Just when you think he couldn't get any cooler, they go and do this. Bravo, Capcom, bravo.
it’s a shame we couldn’t see max trying to beat him with his freak fighter.
What a KICK ASS transition to your intro!! 🔥🔥🔥
Wow, the edit into the intro was fire!
Waiting for his giant attack theme to be uploaded somewhere
If you just want it in game, it's given freely in the music playlist thing that you can do now.

In the page Khinsider is the all SF6 OST included "Akuma Theme" and Shin Akuma theme.
The theme from his Giant Attack is Shin Akuma - Asura
That theme is beastly. Jesus....

Well sf3 and sf4 has super select and VT/VS select in sf5. So yeah theyre hinting us something
The advent of Kidney Bean Akuma!! Let's gooo!
It’s cool to see that this event is basically just a constant fight against the taunt activated Shin Akuma, finally giving us a “proper” boss in SF6
12:23 the word神鬼 on his back is sick !
What's the meaning of those?
@@kalidgaellopezmiranda3873 神(God) 鬼(Demon), and they put these two words together looks like one word

That deamon exchange is fun.
The fact that you beat him on FIRST TRY!!
Shows that you're on another level (took me so many tries to beat him once).

Such a max thing to do it first try and then get hit by the bs later
This is freaking hard.
I feel every season is going to end with a Street Fighter villian giant attack with how awesome this is!
We need Gill
This may be popular enough that they do more frequent Giant Attack events. Not sure what their plans are, although it was implied this won't be the last one.
waasn't that big black pillar of energy a super akuma used in 3rd strike or was it somewhere else? im not great at fighting game knowledge tbh
does max know about the secret akuma moves after eating the riceball
The crazy thing is how weak avatar akuma is compared to the sirn akuma on the cabinet
I'm just a casual, i died like 50 times before i got my first win with Ryu.
I can only wish i was as good as Max.
I did find it somewhat easier using Akuma though, with around 10 losses before a win on average today.
Man I miss the old arcade days. Waiting for your turn, on the arcade, to play tag 2 😁 just chatting with the other guys about tekken since you all know each other 😁.
I refuse to believe we are fighting the same akuma
That damage combined with Akuma only having 900 health makes his health bar deplete so fast.
The only reason this isn’t a BOSS RAGE is that Max got lucky in the first fight.
whats the music in the background of the hub scenes? Sounds familiar.
Got to love this new Akuma, to grow a beard like that means Akuma must have shaved a lot in the past to maintain his clean shaven features 😁. The dude manscapes 😁
Akuma is sick
I thought the fight against Giant Akuma was going to be a LITERAL ONE ON ONE FIGHT like any other fight in Street Fighter, but its just you winning enough fight money to attack Giant Akuma by defeating "SiRn Akuma"
Now you got to make him eat the rice ball to do the other two supers
Dude! The cpu is playing FOOTSIES! HOLY SHIT!
I played against akuma cpu and got thrashed everytime. Dudes a BEAST! I only beat him once with my avatar spamming zang grabs
Max, do you know about how to access Shin Akuma without needing to fight him?
I actually find that avatar battles against him are easier than with a normal character
I doubt the would give us this version of akuma just with normal damage but I hope they do
Shin Akuma is only tough on those who didn't put in the work in World Tour. I get one 360 on him with my level 90 avatar and I take off 70% health. lol
The avatar battle one isn't as hard as the one you fight at the arcade cabinet. Also, whacky avatar builds do wild ass damage
I was happy to beat him once, I had a bunch of other close calls but this is a doozy.
ok i haven't gotten a chance to play akuma in sf6 since i took a break from the game but, can the custom characters in the tour mode use the raging demon?
Yeah, they can.
I bet Bison will be the next giant enemy or next major one
There's some implication of this. They added stuff to World Tour with this update that confirms he was brought back from the dead. So he *might* be in the season 2 DLC.

He is very aware of this, yes
The Misogi is from Capcom vs. SNK 2.
Luke takes you to Memphis. Akuma punches you straight to Hell
Michigan
Whoever played Resident Evil Revelations 2 will know that they got this idea from there.
SiRN Akuma is actually SiRN Akuma.exe he’s like Megaman.exe on crack!😂
Toke me 77 attempts as Ryu...
Am I now a demon?
I kinda wish they made the raging demon a 1 hit kill if he lands it for the boss fight.
So does Akuma's combos give Max carpal tunnel syndrome like Ermac? No joke that character hurts my hands!
If only Sf6 had more music like this. You can play music from SF4 now tho, so...now music is not a problem in this game.
Also, I like that this is not just a cheat bs cpu, this Gouki has more animations and moves.
