Hands On Gameplay with Akuma in Street Fighter 6! He's as Cool as Ever!
Ойындар
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!

Pretty sure when he was made friend with Elena, they could.
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"

Really dislike many of goofy or neon palettes in sf6. Glad they treated Akuma w some respect
Damn that CA hadouken to the face is one of the coolest things in SF period.
I cannot believe Big Roof showed us all the colors for Akuma, how handy is that! Definitely gotta hit the like button 🫡.
Akuma Smiling is absolutely terrifying
I can't describe the level of badassness of his drive parry idle and various stances animations
Akuma looks like he hits like a BEAST
the fact that the command grab is tied to the teleport i would imagine is satisfying from a gameplay perspective but just visually it looks so cool compared to if it was its own separate thing
so many cool little things I'm seeing Capcom always goes crazy with Akuma
Hot damn!!! This video took me by surprise. Didn't expect any update on akuma. Thank you sir! 🙏
Hey I love you for mentioning Honda you the real MVP brotha
Akuma's fist getting blocked like that tells that age is getting him.
Wow! No kidding!! Congrats Man! You deserve it. Killer Video! Thank You! 👊😎💯
This makes so incredibly happy! Congrats!

Thanks for showing all the colors!
*sees all the colors* Well Gee. I better hit that like button for the content Roofle knows what we came to see. Thank you kindly.

Akuma got that roid gut bloat
0:34 lol jokes on you, I already liked the video frame 1
Rooflemonger. I loooove you
That Critical Art was so freaking cool!
no invincible teleport and no back jump air fireball (not even od), I bet akuma will suffer a lot. One time you get in the corner and you're dead.
I love how Akuma isn’t even looking at the opponent on the vs screen as if they are beneath him
He looks great and I can't wait for the balance vid tomorrow!
Love to see you getting the early looks too friend! You deserve it! You’re why my Grappler in DnF is so nasty! Lol Keep up the good work fam 💯👏🏽👏🏽
Rooflemonger thank you so much for showing us all of the colors.
Great video. Akuma in SF6 looks sooo good. His fireball game is on point. Can’t wait to play him
I can still be a sucker for combos sometimes, so I always appreciate when a character has freeform combos. No doubt that Akuma's gonna be a very fun character in SF6.
Great video! thanks!
You got me SO curious about Honda now!
The color palette team went crazy!!!

Clicked for the view count, stayed for the honda hint. Thanks!!
That L3 super is FREAKIN INSANELY COOL. ❤🔥
They fixed his lion mane by giving him a beard which makes it complete
Cant wait to watch him be buffed over the seasons
Dude I really I appreciate honda hope. 💯!!
Yep glad I pre ordered it

Need to start working on my anti marisa tech immediately.
Liking for the akuma colors alone
nah that teleport should've been checked there ngl 12:17
Love that his EX DP is the VT1 version. Which itself is a tribute to Misogi.
I grew up shooting hadukens back and forth with my brother, pulling him over with Scorpion's spear, then ripping his head off to finish him (we didn't realize they were different games as children). But I didn't get into fighting games until the end of SF5's life when I started with Akuma as a main since he was easy to get into and his moves are just so cool. I've been anxiously waiting see what direction they took Akuma in SF6 and I gotta say that after watching this video, I couldn't be more hyped. I bought an all-button controller so i can get a feel for it and be ready to Lava Fist player's so hard they'll wish they never crossed my path in silver bracket!!!
Hyped!
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
Really Cool Stage. 👊😎💯
Thank You ❤
Maaan i’m so excited
