  • 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 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"

    Does the game seem a tad bit faster or is it Akuma’s walking speed?

    Akuma is not one of my favorite characters, but how cool he looks wow.

    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

    I doubt it but I wonder if you can do a full screen slow fireball followed up by the command grab because he seems to move fairly quickly.

    Hi ! Super nice video ! I will definitely enjoy him a lot. You didn't talk about how to perform the Shun Goku Satsu and in which conditions ? Can you tell us more about it ?

      its been public for a while so I didn't harp on it. Its a level 3 you can only do while at critical health. Other than that its basically the same its ever been

    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
