Akuma will unleash his rage on foes worthy enough to face him on May 22. Will you harness the power of the Satsui no Hado or succumb to the inner demon?Owner...

    I’m seeing a lot of his moves from 3rd Strike, which is nice. Not a fan of that raging demon though. I still think it’s better the less of it you see and the more of it that’s implied.

      We’ve seen a lot of the variant that’s left to the imagination over the years, and I think this more explicit interpretation is pretty badass.

        Fair enough! I still prefer the implied version, but it’s definitely nice to have alternatives.

        Also, I haven’t kept up with SF6. I was surprised Akuma wasn’t a launch character.

          The roster they launched with was pretty robust even without him. Personally, after how shoto-heavy past rosters have been, I hope Akuma is the last one, unless they add Dan years from now.

            I’m rooting for a Sean return in a later season

    Hell yeah. Finally some gaming news i care about.

    If you listen closely you can hear every Ryu main preparing to drop him like a hit rock. We’ll see if Ken and Luke mains persevere

    He looks scary enough but I’m curious how he’ll end up feeling to fight against as a Marisa main.

    They appear to have nailed the vibe/aesthetic though. That new Raging Demon looks excellent.
