Akuma character guide: • Street Fighter 6 Chara...
I got to play Akuma for ~40 minutes at the Capcom offices, and they showed us a small selection of the changes in season 2. We did not have access to training mode, weren't allowed to play against CPU lvl. 8, and weren't allowed to dig through the other characters for balance changes.

Shin Memphis for the CA level 3... so sick
Shin Menphis is just Detroit tbf
Memes aside, it kinda reminds me of Akuma's shockwave Super in 3rd Strike. The one you see used against Twelve after X-copy in TOD clips.
@leithaziz2716 yeah you might have heard Sajam call it a mini kkz, kkz is the abbreviation for that super's name in Japanese (I forget it rn, mb)
More like Shin Tennessee.

I can already see the complaints about the health - "My day 1 Akuma got 1 touched by Marisa, how is this fair?"
There already is, saw a comment calling medal nerf on Manon cause she would kill Akuma with two throws
I like the low health. It balances things out, and people won't be quick to call Akuma OP.
I bet they don't play basara at samsho5sp. God, he's more squishy than 3s akuma.
3s akuma well played is a good character but the lack of health is a big issue ir you don't have a good defense. Same with sf6; those who ask what you said never played old fighting games. It's frustrating that part of the player base ask for fixing stuff known since 1998.
@@llpmostardaunless Manon's throw damage got buffed, even if Akuma has 9k health he'd still survive 2 PC lv 5 grabs with about 800 health left. People already downplaying at week -1
nah marisa's highest recorded damage is like 8.8 k and it is extremelly situational, like almost no chances of happening in a match statistically. you need a fully charged gladius that trades with a jab so frame perfect, then you do the normal combo f.HK>ex spartan kick, b.HP> dr b.charged HP> dr b.HP heavy spartan kick into CA. this does 8,820 damage from what i remember, so unless she gets a damage buff anywhere in there, no one tap for marisa. btw her dp punish max damage with ca is 7,7k so if that happens you still need a jab combo
After so long, Akuma Fighter 6 is FINALLY out.
brother its been 11 months you got negative patience
Akuma’s victory screen looking a lot like he just killed his stream so he can shout some gamer words at the top of his lungs
But instead of slurs he just screams fuckin messatsu or some bullshit
Interesting they took Oni's win screen of picking up the opponent by the head.
@@Rex-golf_player810笑止！👿❗❗
@@ddranimestyleat this point his hair color and attitude are close to becoming Oni
@@EnmaMusicProduction Meanwhile his moves are interestingly becoming more like Gouken's. Chargeable fireball, upwards tatsu, a palm strike that leads to combos... love it.
Love CA and Supers where the opponent interacts and actually does stuff like in Jamie's super. Makes it feel a bit more alive to me.
If there were more character specific interactions then I'd probably agree, but it's just generic resistance it just feels flattening, especially because the outcome has to be the same every time.
@@1000Tomatoesbruh what you hit the super you want the opponent to just be able to say nuh uh and just waste your whole super bar?
It's not gonna be an Akuma army when he launches, it's gonna be an Akuma world war
Thank fucking God Capcom made a character they're so fucking afraid of they can't make him weak because he would kick there ass.
Please nice point, can you please not use a swear word as a adjective to God. Let's keep been sane. Thank you
@@andyknigth I ONLY FEAR ONE GOD AND THAT GOD IS AKUMA
@@andyknigthbro who are you 😭😭😭
@@andyknigth Silence Jim
@@andyknigth God fucking dammit. No.
Akuma is about to be the only character anyone plays lol
On the bright side, lots of time to practice matchup lol
Capcom's true DLC Cashcow.
On the bright side,at least he's actually cool as hell unlike Luke,Ken or JP
@@21Handgunswell people won't be saying that once he start dominating every tournament lol but I won't judge that early, he seems brokenly fun
@@21Handgunsjp is pretty cool to watch but not to play against
would have been absolutely hilarious for T8 to announce Akuma as a DLC the same day as this showed haha
14:22 what a devious laugh from Sajam. You know this character gonna be fucked up.
Akuma with the Daffy Duck drive rush 😂
Yeah my man looking goofy af. Should've used the teleport slide thingy
Damn, the Satsui No Hado is already getting to him at 14:20
if akuma's 5HP has the same frame data as ryu's i'm gonna laugh my ass off
8:10 Waiting in line in 2020 be like.
Love the thumbnail ! Akuma's drive rush animation look so goofy.
I hope someone could make that "posture meme" with Akuma and Deejay: "Virgin Akuma Dr vs Chad DeeJay Dr"
Excited to see Tokido play him
Thanks for finding all these buffs for the other characters. I appreciate it that you looked into these buffs. Heck, I'm glad to know them now. Thanks man!
06:40 for Akuma's CA Level 3.
21:00 for some of the character balance changes.
having low HP dosnt matter if your opponent dosnt get to play
only about 10 % less HP is nothing and he can do 50-60% combo damage to other characters with ease.
@@jkdman2007with.. the same ease as everyone else. He needs to spend to hit 50%.
Most of the cast can two touch him, and only be 3 touched at worst.
Akuma is going to be good but not as good as y'all are dreaming. He was low mid by the end of sfv, I doubt it'll be much different.
Importantly akuma players are terrible and rely on his plethora of skips, just stop them twice and easy out play them.
@@jkdman2007 lol bruh... where do you get 50 - 60% with ease? he needs to land a clean jump in, have 3 bars and less than 25% health to get that damage. every character in the game can do 50% with 3 bars and a clean jump in.
plus akuma has always been reliant on resources to find openings with OD air FB and OD demon flip.... now that he no longer has a teleport to escape mixups coupled with the constant burning of meter & he's fina be in burnout real fast...
having no demon teleport or invincible SRK? if he eats 1 combo in burnout..... bye bye
taking away his defensive option might be brutal but he's still gunna be dope... just not a win button
8:20 Not every character needs to be hype, you need the incredible hype characters *and* the more restrained/oddball characters or else everything gets stale.
That being said, I'm looking forward to Arcsys getting to hold the "our character can't compete with the other new releases" bag. Capcom got it in SF5 when they released Abigail against Geese goddamn Howard in Tekken 7 and Trunks in Dragonball Fighter Z, and now Tekken's got it with Lydia into Akuma and Slayer. It's gonna be like... Unemployed Answer in Guilty Gear Strive 2 vs Robo Heihachi and True Psycho Bison or some shit in Tekken 9 and Street Fighter 7.
Don't worry, you'll get your odd-balls at some point. Leopaldon is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
@@leithaziz2716 Yeah. Nothing against Arcsys, despite what my comment makes it sound like... I just think it'd be funny for the three companies to be passing around the 'underwhelming character in a sea of hype' ball.
they still got dizzy, venom and jam in the emergency bin, none of the major fighter's gassed out just yet in the potential fan favourite character reveal department.
@@enclavehere4705 It's less of a "gas in the tank" problem and more of a 'we have an idea for a new character to release... Oh shit, this was a really bad time for a new character' thing. Like... I love all the new characters in Strive, but there's no way any of them would generate Akuma and Slayer levels of hype on reveal. The only time I've ever seen anything like that was G for Street Fighter 5.
@@kevingriffith6011 I think the hypest reveal for a new character period was Leroy in Tekken 7. Bamco just really tainted his image once he was playable and it was discovered how overtuned he was, and I don't think he'll ever escape that stigma.
I like the heavy punch change for Luke, it’s nice to have another button other than crouching heavy punch to combo into, more variety to his gameplay imo.
But they really need to nerf him in other ways to let him have that
So excited for Akuma!
It's always made me giggle how Akuma, this like... Devil built out of steel and titanium and who can destroy mountains with a single punch, is made out of tissue paper.
bro built like the hulk if his power was big helium muscles
That's cuz he's going easy on everyone
Love how his face goes completely in shadows with red eyes glowing when he demon flips.
Broski bout have that runback with mena after that whip buff
Can’t wait for Akuma fighter 6! With game modes like Akuma ranked or Akuma hub or Akuma casuals’
He looks so cool honestly, was never the biggest Akuma fan but I can't wait to play him this time around
Cool to see how they do Akuma in a system where everyone is already slightly more juiced than ever. I'm looking forward to the patch shake-up, I've been looking for an excuse to try SF6 again for a couple months.
Ty Mr. Jam, for such a sick video and phenomenal explanations of everything. Also the devious laughter was pretty funny. Akuma's going to be so dirty.
The Jaime buff seems good, I love using the forward heavy kick followups
Akuma is gonna have the same issue he did in SFV on release - everyone thinks he's beyond broken because of nothing but Akuma mirrors for months until he gets tickled by Marisa or Manon and _explodes._
Marisa doing LP target combo into forward stomp into LVL 3 will kill Akuma at 50% health guaranteed.
@@chefv1deogame5k damage to marisa is available from a lp>lp ex double hit for the ground bounce and then lk spartan kick. im pretty sure thats over 3k damage alone now if you add the super it does 5k. ggez
Did they nerf Luke's damage or something? I keep hearing marisa, but luke does like 10% less damage than marisa but has more ways to open up akuma. So won't he be the one doing the heavy lifting of torching akuma?
@@blackclover4375 If Akuma gets caught pressing buttons on Marisa, he’s dead.
I wish Ryu's fireball could charge like Akumas, it was part of a v trigger in 5 anyways. Seems like he should get it too.
5:33 Probably niche usage for sneaky things, like side switching with juggled opponents to get out of the corner, or sliding back from any full-screens (like Spiral Arrow, Condor Spire, Dragon Lash, etc) with time to punish(?), or far teleporting under a crossup attempt to be in zoning range when they land.
But yeah, it's not horribly useful; not at least until someone discovers some kind of odd tech with it that's useful.
I'm sad they nerfed his signature demon flips. I used do the thing I learned from Pikachu Akuma on third strike and sf4
to me its buffed cause he can just do nothing which is a huuuuge thing for sf6, not commiting to buttons
Digging Manon's 5 medal level 3. Total destruction.
Dude, sakura looks huge in this game
safe to say Akuma is going to add a whole new dimension to the match play of this game. He's doing SF6 things on steroids, with even higher risk/reward. this new season's gonna be wild and I can't wait.
EVERYTHING!
I like how akuma is always hype, he's probably one of the few characters i use as pocket in almost every sf game, in 6 i dont even have a main besides jamie
Love the jamie buffs cant wait
Is 9k health even a problem in this game? All the top tiers do ridonkulous damage already. If you’re gonna get blown up, might as well have the bigger gun to blow them up first.
fr luke can 2 tap anyone but gief in this game and so can marisa and maybe ryu too. this aint nothing new except maybe mow kimberly can 2 tap akuma which is funny to think about
Going by the history books, having low life never really meant enough for Akuma.
Good to know Sajam is a VLC player main.
bro scares me, might be too good. Also looks like Sajam found his new main.
Not Lidia catching stays
I'm scared, boss.
If Akuma's new move+followup has less scaling than Dee Jay's Jus Cool HK followup will in the next patch, I'm thinking about switching :)
i think im just switching to akuma on release. if you cant beat em, join em. learning the matchup will be mandatory anyway, might as well broaden your understanding of him by learning him on top.
he looks so cool im hyped
the cvs2 combos hell yeah
Oh boy I can't wait for Akuma vortex discourse to make its inevitable comeback.
Now this is a real villain character
Did they change Hondas clap to two buttons instead of the down down input, because down down is just messed up. If they did I will try to play sf6
I am so hyped and scared to play him. He is gonna be my first non grappler pick so I am gonna suffer the extra lack of health
i love how fast he walks
that jamie change is crazy
I was thinking that teleport could be used for baiting drive rush checks? Like I know it's no Dee Jay sway, but it does seem to halt your momentum for a bit, could you use it just before you're within range of a 2MK then do teleport grab?
i think the fat ass fire fist is going to be better for that, since he reels back before unleashing mega punch and i think its safe too so that might be his own sway
22:00 Are you sure they werent talking about his lp > mp into foot slam combo?
Also you said its two buffs per character but i count 3 with manon. She can also now s. LK > crouching light kick
He said Capcom only showed him 2 buffs for 6 characters, not that 2 changes were all we are getting for each character
Dan had the original one hand fireball
cody
Answer to Akuma is DI and PP.
I wonder if Marissa can kill him in one combo of off a punish counter into lv3 CA
Akuma dropping later in the month is gonna be exactly like when T8 just dropped and everyone and their mother picked up Reina only for them to drop her three weeks in. It's gonna be the same thing with Akuma. I call moments like these, the Herd Culling.
I think it woulda been hilarious if they demonstrated Akuma’s moveset on Lily instead of Ryu.
i was listening to this on the background and i heard randomly (he has LUKES MP) so i guess hes really top tier huh
what did capcom tell you about other upcoming characters? lol
Seeing this mfer cook just makes me really want Sakura back in the game
I'm so cursious about drive rush teleport, command grab
What are the Kimberly changes he’s talking about ?
Tokido is somewhere licking his chops right now…
13:33 that side switches?
Business as usual
sajamSajam
Bro he NEEDS it
Demon flip throw on top of the grab out of teleport would be redundant
I hope no one's surprised, he's strong in literally every game he's in lol
A want to see some content about Rashid, people just focused at the tornado thing, but what else? Can't be the only change.
Haven't played SF6 in a while, but the changes shown here make me go "really? They didn't have that yet?" So it's kinda funny to me.
The think about him he label like a glass cannon has so many opinions but you can pretty much 2 combo him
8:20 I mean, sure she's cool but Lidia should have been in the base rooster, her being the last DLC on T7 and coming back as DLC again on T8 was a misitake tbh.
Also BTW, T7 "first" DLC reveal was Geese so that was fucking WILD, he most defently could have stand up to Slayer or Akuma right now specially since Akuma was already on T7 in the first place .
PS Now that I think about it, it is kinda funny how T7 had Akuma as a base char and he waas DLC on SF for the last 2 games.
Akuma not from street fighter he learned how to sidestep
@@PUSHAPABLOdumb take
Bros yapping on about Tekken 7 like that shit wasn't 10 years ago. I love that game and mained the hell about it but wake up,2024,Tekken 8 exists and this is sf6
I agree Lidia should've been base roster. They should've also shown gameplay for her at Evo Japan. Out of the three characters in question she's probably gonna be the one I end up playing the most.
@@YungBl3ss94 how
in sfv, when he threw air fireball at the beginning of his jump instead of the peak, he'd have to go through the rest of the arc anyway, so the fireball could be minus,. but it looks like you fall faster after throwing it sooner in the arc in this game. That alone seems WILD to me. 15:56 Watch how he falls straight down after throwing the fireball low in the jump arc. i'm really interested to see what kinda grime this move cooks up
Akuma literally has the "I'm going to koom Guile" sastukoom no hado face as one of his game faces! I think it's the down one!
I haven’t played SF since IV came out. I wonder if Akuma still has lower hp than other characters. I guess that was the trade off for having an air fireball and a raging demon
Yes, Akuma has 9k hp. Everybody else has 10k. Only exceptions are Marisa and Honda who have 10.5k, and Zangief who has 11k.
I'm four minutes into this video right now, and I'm exhausted. As someone who doesn't play Akuma, season 2 is gonna be nothing but pain.
Cope lmao
ngl i kinda had that same mindset for the lingest time cause to me he's just reskin ryu in sfv usfiv sfIII but now he looks hella different, you might like him give it a try
Definitely not planning on playing Akuma but I'm still excited for season 2. I'm sure people will get really good at the matchup if we just give it some time.
Why does Ryu do the Jack-O pose after getting hit by the Raging Demon?
I think it's a bug that everyone does Kimberlys post-KO animation for some reason
is it just me or is his fireball EXTREMELY fast?
Looks like a demon
The palm and fireball charging remind me Gouken, which is freaking awesome.
Also, I thought everyone in this game had the same health, or was I misinformed/outdated?
every character except Zangief, Marisa and Honda have the same health. Zangief has 11k, Marisa/Honda have 10.5k
In this game in particular I think the low health is going to be a big problem. Damage is so high across the board already. Ryu buffed punish counter meter dump combo does 7k very easily. That means that one single HP to Shoryu into reversal bait will kill him. Marisa will do absurd things to him. Blanka, Chun, DeeJay, Luke, and even low tiers like Gief will have a really easy time taking a round if they get in and have meter.
Once we see how high his damage goes and how easily he can open up opponents we'll see how much the reduced health impacts his viability
I'm all in for broken Akuma just cos I want to see Tokido dominating again with him but boy I'm going to cry tears of pure suffering playing online vs this character lmao.
This is going to be the easiest "new character to master" type character. Punk is gonna do it in like 40mins
i wanna see the DEMON brooooo!!!
Info on the teleport. What they mean by it not being invincible is really weird. You are invincible while you are traveling! (See edit) You just come out of invincibility a little bit before you stop or use the throw. So if your opponent knows when/where you are going to stop they can always punish it before you can block. But, if they try to hit you too early you will phase through it and then you can punish their button, and if they try to hit you too late you can block in time. Also you can mega punish a wakeup parry with the grab, the punish counter damage is huge because it seems to activate the normal throw punish counter effect (takes a bar of drive-gauge, much bigger than normal damage boost).
Edit: the reason I thought it was invincible is I saw a low whiff against it, so it might go over certain lows, or the intangibility (passing through pushboxes) might allow him to go through certain things that you expect to hit.
not at all, the thing woth the teleport is that its the exact same as blanka's command dash where he passes throught you and the same as rashid's command dash. everyone who trued him said the teleport wasn't invincible
@@bigjc5546Well I saw a move whiff against it. Maybe it just goes over certain lows? It was a low. Will be interesting to see what ends up being the case.
I never play Shotos but him as a seondary to Marisa seems good. Seems like a fun character after suffering with AKI for so long
Akis always been fine
@@trippersigs2248no the fuck she hasn't lmao
Gonna go from a full on 24/7 Aki main with a secondary Manon to having either a pocket Aki or a Pocket Manon till one of them get buffed and main Akuma. Gonna be so weird going from top tier struggle characters to privileged top tier status lol
@@trippersigs2248she's always been on the cusp of being low tier. Hopefully they help out her anti airs
Can you combo heavy tatsu after light tatsu like in SFV?
i think justin wong confirmed you could do it or if its not him someone else did.
Please tell me Ed got his jabs buffed
Bro... this character is gonna be my ermac for mk1, holy fuck hes so cool. Idk if im gonna play anyone else omg. Hes so violent, and he looks like a baki character, he actually looks like the devil

Akuma looks like if Jaime had level 4 off the bat but fair enough that his weakness is paper skin.
Does Outfit 2 have a different intro???
No, player 2 has a different intro than player 1. They coincidentally had different outfits in this vid.
@@Demonstormlord damn how have I not noticed this lmao
He seems pretty strong, and everyone agrees with that. I was about to ask if you think it justifies the health but you already say that you don't know in the video. I love everything we've seen so far. He's probably the coolest character in the roster. The animations, the moves, the supers... Everything. But it's true that it looks like he dies pretty quickly. Let's see how it goes. Did anyone try Akuma playing against another character to see how much damage he does on an average health?
I know I'm the only one but I do wish I got to see ed boy buffs 😔
Less Health? This hell spawn needs LESS TOOLS
