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

**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!

Very glad that Harada allowed the Street Fighter team to bring in a Tekken character into the game. I can't even believe they gave him a unique design too!

There's gonna be a billion Akumas online when this drops and I'll be one of them and I'm not sorry

He makes faces in the VS screen, that's all I needed to know

The long gorilla arms was such an amazing idea. The hair, vascularity, simple but painful grabs. Amazing redesign man! Thanks Roof

Here comes that time again where every Ryu main must stand strong... My denjin buffs are sufficient...I must...resist...the Satsui no Hado!

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"

I'm sorry but that CA is one of the coolest supers I've seen in a fighting game. Raging Demon will always be special but that CA is incredible. Also love how the camera glitches and breaks in his walkout sequence, goddam that is cool af

Akuma videos in my subscription feed jumpscare

god even his walkout is so good the mf is a cryptid with a bodycount at this point

let be honest we all bought the character pass for THIS single moment 😂❤

I didn't have tons of time with the build so full guide not quite yet lol. There will be a 2nd video early tomorrow covering some of the Season 2 balance changes as well! My time with checking out changes was a bit restricted cause im too dangerous to be left alone to find stuff out and spoil everything ahead of time, but don't worry I got some fun stuff for ya, plus a shining light of hope for Honda!

Bouncing between Justin, Max and Rooflemonger for the very mean practice of them all uploading at once😭

I cannot believe Big Roof showed us all the colors for Akuma, how handy is that! Definitely gotta hit the like button 🫡.

Immediately noticed that walk speed. He's going to be breaking ankles free asf

Those color palettes look so clean

Damn that CA hadouken to the face is one of the coolest things in SF period.

Akuma Smiling is absolutely terrifying

198 pounds!? I think the scale at Cap HQ might be broken guys.

I can't describe the level of badassness of his drive parry idle and various stances animations
