A.K.I joins Street Fighter 6 on September 27

A.K.I. is the newest character joining Street Fighter 6 this September and she’ll be the 20th playable character following the release of Rashid in July. Earlier in the Summer Capcom released a teaser trailer for A.K.I. giving a glimpse of what she’s like in-game, but now we have received the full reveal.

Players will encounter A.K.I’s wickedness across all three modes of Street Fighter 6 – World Tour, Fighting Ground, and Battle Hub. The A.K.I. Arrives! Fighting Pass also goes live for a limited time starting on September 1, allowing players to gear up for the new character with A.K.I.-themed items and cosmetics. 

A.K.I. Moves:

Serpent Lash: From a distance, A.K.I. sends her nails flying forward like a chain, poisoning enemies she hits. When she strikes an opponent who is already poisoned, a Toxic Blossom will trigger an explosion and open enemies up to follow-up attacks.

Nightshade Pulse: A.K.I. sends a bubble forward that also poisons enemies it hits. She can strike the bubble with Nightshade Chaser to pop it in advance, increasing its area of effect.

Orchid Spring: A.K.I. places a puddle of poison in front of her which will affect opponents who step inside it.

Sinister Slide: Slither across the screen to avoid threats while stalking forward and perform follow-up moves like Venomous Fang, Heel Strike, or Entrapment.

Claws of Ya Zi: A.K.I.’s Level 3 Super Art pierces various pressure points on an opponent’s body and injects a poison that dangerously detonates from within.

A.K.I.’s elegant Outfit 2 will be available for owners of the Year 1 Character Pass, Deluxe Edition, or Ultimate Edition on September 27.
