Capcom announced the next DLC fighter coming to the Street Fighter 6 roster in the near future. The fearsome Akuma will be joining Street Fighter 6 along with some significant new updates to the game. A new stage will come, Enma’s Hollow, where Akuma resides to continue his hellbent training, and Outfit 3 will hit the clothing rack for all Year 1 Characters, including Rashid, A.K.I, Ed, and Akuma.
Year 1 Ultimate Pass owners will automatically receive the Outfit 3 for these characters including the new stage when the update arrives on May 22, 2024.
Here are all of Akuma’s moves:
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.
Akuma will be available across all three Street Fighter 6 game modes and the new fighter will be unlocked for owners of the Year 1 Character Pass, Year 1 Ultimate Pass, Deluxe Edition, or Ultimate Edition.
