Fans
of
Street
Fighter
6
now
know
precisely
when
the
Demon
Akuma
will
arrive.
Mark
your
calendars.
A
new
but
familiar
challenger,
Akuma,
will
be
available
in
Street
Fighter
6
beginning
May
22.
Capcom
announced
the
popular
character’s
return
with
a
flashy
new
trailer,
showing
off
his
move
set,
which
will
vastly
improve
in
the
game.
Akuma
will
be
available
across
Street
Fighter
6’s
numerous
game
modes,
including
World
Tour,
where
players
can
learn
more
about
his
story.
As
for
his
moveset,
here
is
the
breakdown
per
Capcom:
-
Gou
Hadoken:
Akuma’s
infamous
fireball
is
back
and
can
be
charged
up
to
blast
a
“red
fireball”
that
gives
him
more
options
on
hit
or
block. -
Ashura
Senku:
Like
his
previous
iterations,
Akuma
uses
Ashura
Senku
to
glide
on
the
battlefield
cloaked
in
shadows. -
Adamant
Flame: One
of
Akuma’s
new
moves,
where
he
performs
a
forward
thrust
engulfed
in
flames.
This
move
is
useful
in
combos
and
for
exploiting
vulnerable
opponents
due
to
its
long
reach. -
Messatsu
Gohado: Akuma’s
Level
1
Super
Art
where
he
fires
a
highly
concentrated
ball
of
Satsui
no
Hado. -
Empyrean’s
End:
Akuma’s
Level
2
Super
Art
where
he
turns
the
Satsui
no
Hado
into
a
powerful
flame
and
ignites
it
within
the
opponent. -
Sip
of
Calamity: Akuma’s
first
Level
3
Super
Art
where
he
throws
opponents
on
the
ground
face-first
and
follows
up
with
a
single
devastating
blow. -
Shun
Goku
Satsu
or
“Raging
Demon”:
This
second
Level
3
Super
Art
can
only
be
performed
when
his
Vitality
is
low
enough
for
a
Critical
Art
and
can
be
used
to
end
combos.
This
time,
he
allows
you
to
see
what
happens
during
the
one
second
worth
of
nightmares.
