In this video, we delve deep into Akuma's legacy, exploring his history, design influences, and a comprehensive guide on his moveset and mechanics in Street Fighter 6.
From his initial debut as a shadowy figure in Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Akuma's mysterious and powerful presence captivated players worldwide. Initially known only as a secret character with no name, he quickly became one of the most dominant and iconic figures in the fighting game genre. His journey from a hidden character in various titles like Street Fighter Alpha, X-Men Vs. Street Fighter, and Street Fighter EX, to a fully playable character in Street Fighter Alpha 2, is nothing short of legendary.
Akuma’s design has deep roots in Japanese culture. His character is heavily inspired by Nio statues, fierce guardians found at the entrances of Japanese Buddhist temples. These statues ward off evil spirits, much like Akuma’s intimidating presence in the game. Akuma’s stage, named after the Buddhist God of Hell, Enma, and his ritual of carving miniature statues to memorialize his battles, draw parallels to Buddhist tales and themes. This includes the story of Angulimala, a murderer who, after encountering the Buddha, built statues in his image as atonement for his crimes.
The contrast between Akuma and Ryu is also steeped in Buddhist philosophy. Ryu embodies the Path of the Buddha, seeking enlightenment and overcoming inner demons, while Akuma reflects the path of Mara, embodying ego, temptation, and delusion. This eternal struggle is mirrored in their gameplay and story arcs, with Akuma constantly tempting Ryu to embrace the Satsui No Hado.
In Street Fighter 6, Akuma’s design takes inspiration from animals, emphasizing his muscular build and lion-like features. The developers have refined his look, moving away from the controversial design in Street Fighter V to a more grounded and intimidating appearance in the RE Engine. His white hair gives him a ghostly, inhuman quality, enhancing his demonic persona.
Akuma's moveset in Street Fighter 6 retains his status as a glass cannon, boasting a plethora of offensive tools while having the lowest health in the game. His movement abilities and fast walk speed compensate for his slow drive rush, allowing him to maintain offensive pressure. Akuma’s Gou Hadoken, with its multiple charge levels, Zanku Hadoken, Shoryu, and Tatsu moves, provide him with a versatile and deadly arsenal. The introduction of Adamant Flame, borrowed from Tekken 7, further enhances his offensive capabilities.
Akuma’s signature abilities, such as the Demon Flip (Demon Raid) and Ashura Senku (Demon Teleport), remain crucial to his gameplay, providing mix-up options and evasive maneuvers. His new command grab, Oboro Throw, adds a layer of complexity to his mix-up game, though it leaves him vulnerable if missed.
We also explore Akuma’s powerful Supers, including the straightforward but devastating Sip of Calamity and the legendary Shun Goku Satsu (Raging Demon). The Raging Demon, now a combo-able command grab, solidifies Akuma’s fearsome reputation, delivering a demonic beatdown that few can withstand.
This video is a comprehensive guide to Akuma in Street Fighter 6, examining his history, design evolution, and intricate gameplay mechanics. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the series, this deep dive into Akuma’s character will enhance your appreciation for this legendary fighter.
