Love how the little fact that Akuma sells fruit on the side to pay for his expenses humanizes him that much more
I like that he doesn’t beat up rich people for money or steal or something, that feels more EVIL. He just grows fruit. Fruit of HATE AND DEATH AND TART SUBTLE FLAVORS!!!
What do you mean expenses? He lives in a cave
If Akuma owns a smartphone in SFVI, his only contacts would be Ryu and Elena lmao
@@LukeyMia4 "hey ryu I'm home alone come over and fight"
@goead Still needs money for food and travel. Do you think Akuma just swims across the entire ocean lol?
Akuma selling fruits in the street "Satsui no Avocado"
good one 🤣
the killing avocado
@@mythosinfinite6736 "you will feel the pain of the satsui no avocado!"
Akuma working for his daily bread is something I thought would never see.
I mean, hey, man's gotta eat... and pay travel expenses.
And did you see all those candles in his cave, bro’s gotta be buying all of those in bulk
@@pigglesgoomshby7249 He made them using the fat of lesser warriors he defeated.
It would be hilarious if instead of a merchant being in his location, in World Tour, he doubles as the merchant and sells you fruits and stuff
@@GoldGuardHell yeah
Akuma looks like a monster in the Alpha anime. He’s pretty much Ryu’s version of Broly.
That's the best way I've seen that put
Majin Vegeta ong
Akuma but this time he's W I D E
I wonder if Akuma and Broly would get along?
@@SuperPeterok Probably not. Z Broly is a sadistic monster who likes to kill people while Akuma is a warrior with a code of honor that while seems strange to most people, doesn't exactly make him evil (despite him bragging as such in some of his win quote, but that's probably because he accessed Satsui no Hado so much, idk). Maybe Super Broly, but we don't know if Akuma will encourage Super Broly to control his rage or let him use said rage to be more powerful so he can have the best fight in his life
Fun fact :akuma isn't mean to kids or women such as Elena from 3rd strike because if her childlike nature,she seems to actually keep akuma calm somehow .
So that is why there are some fanarts of Elena with Akuma together.
Those are really charming...
But we also need some NSFW art 😈
Edit: I REGRET NOTHING!
@@meganinten0078 you fool you will bring the wrath of rule 34 on us all! Jkjk
@@shoken4421😆🤣
Have a nice day
@@meganinten0078 you too bro thanks for the laugh
@@shoken4421 You are welcome 😄
One of the coolest things if you happen to beat Akuma in the arcade is when the end credits are showing with all the characters, usually the one you played will be the last to be shown. But instead of that, the one will be shown is the "kill cam" of how you beat Akuma. It's a nice little touch and incentive for beating him.
Akuma kill screen coming up
"You are Ken Masters"
It's rather funny how much Ken and Max have started looking like each other in recent years, face mods or not.
That little piece of lore for Akuma is one of my favorite things. He's a demon, fighting and killing for his own dark power but even then he just sells fruit and things to get money for his travels. Shows he desires power but gets it from fighters not murdering random people.
It's another aspect alongside his moral code that makes him my favorite character. He's not evil like bison. He's a dark character, but he doesn't canonically succumb to it which is what I love about him.
@@Jacob1451_Kapnobatai Satsui no Hado is "murderous intent," not necessarily evil. Just like a cat beating a mouse to death. Not really evil, just murderous.
@@davidsentanu7836 primal darkness in a way. Love that analogy.
I think it says a lot about his discipline and dedication to fighting.
Like, fighting is all he is about. The rest of the world is not in his way, he just seeks challenge in fighters who COULD be like him.
"Professionals have standards"
Max is killing it with this intro that shows Akuma, Street fighter 6, beating up all the past games that he co-started in with the raging demon.
I agree its sick but im pretty sure thats the sfv raging demon
That's SFV Raging Demon, which is actually the best one imo
Akuma in the intro that Max has is from street fighter 6, probably from SFV mode, he is just using a SFV raging demon for it.
@@kamenrangerzeo8251 No, Akuma looks like that in SFV. One of his alt colours gives him the white hair.
I'm convinced one of his editors, namely Brunty, is the one that did that intro
Akuma is the earliest "I can unlock Sonic in Melee"
It was only a few years ago when I found out that that was an April Fool’s joke. I miss that era of gaming where you could do rumors and jokes like that. 😅
Akuma is bad guy but he’s not a bad guy
"I may be bad guy, but that don't make me a bad guy"
"I Understood That Reference.."
Hes definitely gone turbo
If I recall correctly, the people making the SFII animated movie didn't even know about Akuma until way later in development (because, y'know, he was such a mysterious character) so that's why he only appears as a static background character, because that was the only way they could've added him in the movie at that point, they just painted him on a cel sitting and selling fruit and placed them on a random background.
That kissing art was not expected AT ALL
But much appreciated.
13:48 This moment right here when I first saw it on Twitter was absolutely priceless, and Max's reaction is practically the cherry on top. "YOU(holds breath and explodes)...FUCKING JESUS CHRIST!!!"
In the anime OVA
Street Fighter Alpha Generations, it's heavily implied that Ryu is Gouki's son, in a very much Luke/Vader situation. No joke.
Oh yeah, I remember hearing about that
It’s the same case with the Street Fighter: the Assassin’s Fist live action as well.
Yeah. He even breastfed him himself with the milk from his pec nipple. Such is Akuma's incredible power.
@@gogadantes8699
I'm sorry, what now?
@@crimsonking5986 Pec. Nips. Breast. Milk. Did I stutter?
Oh my favorite videogame quote!
"You are Ken Master"
It’s funny but not intentional, it just replaces Ken for whichever fighter you picked, so you could get Dan Master, Birdie Master, Rose Master, etc
"you must defeat sheng long to stand a chance"
The rumor I'd heard was when Akuma first appeared, people thought he was Sheng Long, Ken and Ryu's supposed master.
Funny thing about the SFII anime movie appearance is that when it aired on TV or when watched on Fullscreen VHS of the time, he's actually positioned perfectly to be cut out of the frame, making him an even more elusive figure for fans to theorize about.
Some fans would see him and swear he was there when they watched it, but when they went looking for him or when telling friends about him, he was no where to be found!
In the remastered version, the editing team found that footage, and there he is
In sf 2 V he cameos everywhere, china, Thailand, India, hospital with a broken arm, Vega illuminati restaurant... I think that's it.
13:50 literally stunning at a loss for words
You are Ken Been Ken MAX!!!!!!!!!
Also 12:43.
Akuma, M.Bison, and Dan are all playable via code in SFA arcade
Sfa1 Dan rules
3:43 PFFFFFFTTTTT!!!
Who made this art? I thought it was an official SF art for a split second.
Dexter (Dexter's Lab): The horror...the horror....
This reminded me of that one fanart of Chris has a yaoi thing with Piers in RE6 or Luke kissing Jaime...
I'm not even joking, this is why the entire Capcom fans keeps asking if Chris Redfield was gay or not... and I don't know how to answer this 🤣
1:43 Akuma in an arm sling lmao
That’s hilarious but also ominous. WHO broke his arm?
@@bulb9970 Gouken, probably.
Maybe he jacked off too much and broke his arm in the process
As we saw in this episode, he must've run afoul of Birdie. The REAL true power in SFA, apparently...
@@bulb9970Oro of course.
Max videos and Sakuras theme just go together like peanut butter and jelly
I think Shin Akuma in SFA2 was the hardest. They even added a mode in one of the rereleases that lets you skip the method to fight him in arcade and just fight him in thr most dramatic stage in A2.
"Akuma on the side of the road, eating oranges"
Me and a buddy just happened to notice that while watching. We used to randomly bring it up. "Right but like.. akuma on the side of the road eating oranges though"
I actually experienced the mystique of Akuma after its "era" in Vanilla SF4
Even when you beat the game with everyone there's still 3 character slots. To unlock the rest, you had to play Arcade mode with no continues, get a perfect, and beat Seth with a Super or Ultra and then he'd pop in as a boss and if you beat him, he became playable.
That shit was wild.
I remember watching Justin's video when he put it out and, even knowing Akuma was supposed to be brutal, I was stunned by how much he absolutely destroyed tourney players. He really lived up to his "I am power made flesh!" quote. And of course this was before health regen in 6, so he'll be even more terrifying now.
For supposed demon Akuma looks so chill
@maxamillion dood , in SF Alpha 1 , raging demon input was only LP , LP -> LK . It was in SF Alpha 2 when Capcom added the HP input at the end.
I loved how they had Gouki in the background as a gag character in the anime 😂😂. Also I never knew puzzle fighter is alpha music
3:42 Ryu & Ken merge into Akuma
That theory again
Hehe
This is the first time I'm hearing that..
🤣
The part of this video where max talks about figuring out enough about the boss fight to feel confident he could eventually win without pure cheese reminds me of when i was going for the Capcom Fighting Collection (2022) achievement for beating every game's arcade mode and how i'd get stuck on hsf2ae or some of the dark stalkers and most of all cyberbots final boss. I spent HOURS stuck on some of these games but only hsf2ae did i HAVE to use pure cheese. I felt super proud of myself when i finally beat cyberbots and pyron through trial and error and practice.
*Back in the day for Sega Saturn port of SF Alpha 1:* I took a VHS tape and recorded the Random select. On the VCR you could see the numbers on the seconds dial. I counted them and was able to go back to the game, counting the seconds to when he showed up, and was LUCKILY able to select Akuma & Bison each. I never did that again and always just used the codes.
9:58 I was right outside this area at Texas Showdown 2023 to see what all the buzz was about, and yeah, SFA1 Boss Akuma had people malding lmao
7:55 There is another way to fight Akuma in Street Fighter alpha without inputing the code to fight Akuma on the first level: get to the final level with 10 super combo finishes and without continuing.
Its YOU, KEN MASTER
Man they really loved secret characters back in the day of arcade fighters.
It's not something modern business practices allow anymore. Even when you can unlock a character, they always put up a DLC with an instant unlock.
I remember that Akuma confusion in the arcade. Same level of hype as Reptile.
I can’t even imagine what horrors the editor has seen on the internet while searching for that Ken/Ryu fan art
Max's Editor ended like Dexter (Dexter's Lab)
"The horror...the horror.... "
Or what pleasures. 🤤
Yeah...
Great stuff Max.
Dope Akuma Boss Fight.
This is the best compliment you could get
YOU ARE KEN MASTER
Loving this series. Thanks Max.
I love the style of this legacy. Max is such a talented content creator. Truly a beacon of the community ❤
I love ps1 sfa1, I was blown away by the graphics and music. I loved popping the cd in my cd player and listening to hidden tracks. Sure there were bigger alpha games but this one is still my favorite.
MAAAAN I have been waiting for Akuma since they announced he's coming to SF6. Seeing that trailer was too hype and I have been on these Akuma legacy vids heavy! Leggo 🔥🔥
"AKUMA is the hardest Capcom boss"
Meanwhile
Dr. WILY MM7: NOW WORLD IS MINE!
Burning status ptsd
Oh man, I need to stay awake longer, to watch these live! Was not expecting the shout-out!!
I will say, as long as you can do standing SPD consistently, it is actually easy. He also gets hit by Birdie's jumping super, and can react to his fireballs with it
That opening goes hard as good job whoever edited that!
That Birdie would turn out to be the only one capable of smackign around Akuma with impunity was NOT what I expected when I started this video. But it amuses me greatly to imagine Birdie as the secret top-tier of the Street Fighter universe, so I'll allow it.
Every time I fought Akuma or used the 1986 code to pick him. That was always heart pounding fun. Merciless AI AKUMA!
Akuma killing his opponents is just another Tuesday for him
Nah thats how Bison sees it
That pic of ryu and ken kissing is traumatizing 💀
Indeed 😨😵
Which one
Nearly made me spit my drink lmao
Yeah I need to purge this from my memory. Quite harrowing
@@dark_nightwing_xl2797 the kiss
It's awesome that in this version of the game, you can go through the game without using a continue (you can lose rounds, unlike Alpha 2) and getting 10 super combo finishes, or just using the code as mentioned.
I hope Max talks about the greatest version of Akuma ever made...
Street Fighter the Movie the Game Akuma!
He was played by Ernie Reyes Sr.
Akuma design in SFTMTG was very 90s and I LOVE IT!
His fighting stance is actually cool.
His theme in the console version is very underrated 🎵
Finally, flame tatsu 🔥 very ahead of the time
I don’t think he has a theme, if he does I’ve never heard it
@@kaiser9321 In the Sega Saturn port he has.
In fact, I have uploaded it in my channel.
Hell yeah! was waiting for this.
11:32 Akuma: "Behold my mastery of the fist. *...PUNCH."* 👊
I never actually played Alpha 1 until the Alpha Anthology on PS2. I did play Alpha 2 on the SNES back in the day though.
Overall I'd have to say that Cyber Akuma in Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter and Shin Akuma in SVC Chaos are probably one of the most toughest versions.
WOW!!! You Beat AKUMA On one of the HARDEST Games to Fight Him On Too!! PLUS You Also Took Him Out With Style!! JUST THE WAY Ken Would have Wanted It. (SO GLAD your doing an Akuma LEGACY, SO Awesome!)
Max being better than ever after this many years is so impressive. So many classic youtubers have fallen off.
These thumbnails are just DOPE dood!
Akuma has found steady work. He was a merchant on the streets selling fruit to a kid.
these title card art works are so cool!
So proud of Max, the Ken master.
The legacy series are some of the best content ever! Can never get enough of them!
In the "Player Select" screen highlight Akuma hold start and then press: Down, Down, Right, Down, Right, Down, Down, Down, Left, Down, Left, Down
Great video Max 👌👏🙏 very funny to see all those emotions not so funny when your that place 😂
12:47 You can see Max's face soooo CLEARLY!! Thanks AKUMA!!!
There's a fourth, Demon Flip Command Grab with Kick and the animation for it is SATISFYINGLY BADASS.
Almost like a "reverse SPD" level of badass.
I'm not sure what would ACTUALLY happen if I were to kiss Ken, but i think it would involve Eliza slapping both of us in the face.
14:24 Ken: SHORYUKEN!!
Akuma: No NOOOOOOO!!
K.O KEN WINS!!
Maximilian Dood: LET'S GO!!
I played as Akuma for the very first time in my life thanks to the (pretty impressive) Game Boy Color port of this game. Same stuff : he is only "selectable" via random (like Bison and Dan who also where playable in this port). I still got my cartridge and boot it from time to time. The crazy part is you can also use the Shun Goku Satsu/Raging Demon on GBC using the traditionnal input (LP, LP, forward, LK, HP)
Old school info. The arcade demon was jab jab forward short. Fierce at the end started with the console versions
3:42 Ayo, what you been looking up Max?? 😮😰
Dexter: The horror....the horror....
Ask his editor
14:42 I like that that message made him so happy.
So what you are saying is, if Akuma reigns supreme in SF6, they will have to add my man Birdie to save the day... I'm all for this!
(Great video. Max's pure unfiltered "what the FUCK" had me cackling)
Honestly i could spend hours and hours watching Max talking about videogames, especially fighting games. His knowledge and experience is something that i admire the most from him.
man i saw Max just suffer vs Alpha 1 Akuma as Ken mad respect that he won the fight legit and not with cheese moves although the Stun Punish was a hint of cheese
My favorite akuma cameo's were in street fighter 2 V because I bought the box set at Walmart 14 years ago and paused every scene he was in because I'm pretty sure it was every episode.
Instant Hell Murder sounds so much better than Raging Demon. Raging Demon is so generic.
Daaamn, that Gouki art at the end of the vid 🔥🔥🔥
The Shin Gouki i mentioned previously has a stomp instead of the weird aerial lay down and can divekick out of the demon flip (in addition to the janky punch and ol faithful)
The first _Street Fighter_ I ever owned… and on the Game Boy Color, no less!
(Akuma's Lv3 Messatsu Gou Hado did *_SO_* much fargin' damage! 😵💫)
I think what's even wilder imo is that, with what's been established as Akuma not holding back with the changes to his moveset when he becomes Shin Akuma, this is still theoretically Akuma holding back
Tekken got Kuma... SF got Akuma... AoF got Takuma... 🤔
Is Takuma Teacher akuma lol
Im not being serious
7:16 It's 2024 not 2023. Unless this was filmed last year? Cant wait for Akuma in SF6 though.
Bink bink bink bink bink, Maximilian Dood 2023?
I thought we're in 2024? xD
That cover art is phenomenal
I can't wait to pick back up the game I haven't touched since launch week, go straight for Akuma master, and fucking die 1000 deaths in an attempt to learn Akuma.
I came for the Akuma and stayed to see Max become Ken Master.
I'm such a fan I have his Demon sign tattoo'd on my arm for life. Love SF since I was a kid me and my older brother use to play SF 2 on Sega, all the way to SF6 what a journey!
I hope the 3S video comes out on the 25th anniversary, May 15 th
that Alpha 3 reverse dramatic battle was my favorite stream 🔥
03:43 Max I hate you, cannot unsee 🤣🤣
2:22 legendary Henry Cen reference! 😂
There were definitely portable cameras, aka camcorders, you could hold in one hand by 1995, when SF Alpha released in the US.
The real issue is that no one was going to carry around a Handicam to a dank, smelly arcade on the off chance someone got lucky and picked Akuma through random select.
I love the sakura theme in the background
Imagine you turn around and then you see akuma slowly using the demon in your direction
7:16 Bink, bink, bink, bink, bink
- Maxmillion 2023
Exactly.
This is shaping up to be one of the best legacies ever of any character Max has done.
