Street Fighter 6 - Akuma Gameplay Trailer

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.

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
