After celebrating 20 years of Monster Hunter through a temporary collaboration, Street Fighter 6 is now preparing to welcome the last fighter in DLC of Year 1 Character Pass, the terrible Akuma, which was entitled to a teaser last month. It is obviously on the occasion of the last day of theEVO Japan 2024 that Capcom highlighted the character, which therefore follows the additions of Rashid, AKI And Ed. Its trailer for gameplay begins with an overview of the mode World Tour where he clearly does not take gloves with the player's avatar, before making him spend a hard time Ryu.
If this video of the day has got you excited, you will have to wait a little longer before taking control of this demon, because Akuma is not expected before Wednesday May 22. He will be accompanied by THE Enma's Hollow coursewhich the owners of the Year 1 Ultimate Pass at no additional cost, as well as a balance update of the roster. And as you can see, he will be entitled to his Super Street Fighter II Turbo appearance. All the fighters in DLC will also be entitled to their costume 3 on the same date, with colors 1 to 10.

As for his skills, below you will find what to expect, with obviously some new ones. Visuals are available on the next page.
- Gou Hadoken : Akuma's famous fireball is back and can be charged to send a “red fireball” which gives him more options on hits or blocks.
- Ashura Senku : Like his predecessors, Akuma uses Ashura Senku to hover over the battlefield while hiding in the shadows.
- Adamant Flame : One of Akuma's new moves, which performs a forward push while engulfing itself in the flames. This move is useful in combos and for exploiting opponents' vulnerabilities thanks to its long range.
- Messatsu Gohado : Akuma level 1 super art which consists of shooting a very concentrated ball of Satsui no Hado.
- Empyrean's End : Akuma Level 2 Super Art that transforms Satsui no Hado into a powerful flame that ignites inside the opponent.
- Sip of Calamity : Akuma's first level 3 Super Art, which knocks his opponents to the ground head first, follows with a single devastating blow.
- Shun Goku Satsu or “Raging Demon” : This second level 3 super art can only be performed when Akuma's life bar is low enough for a Critical Art and can be used to close a combo. This time, it lets players see what happens during that dreaded nightmare second.
