Akuma Brings the Pain to Street Fighter 6 in May on PS5, PS4 | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

The next playable character joining the fun in Capcom's Street Fighter 6 is a proper series staple. The powerful antagonist, Akuma, is next in line, and he'll be swinging his fists when he arrives on 22nd May, 2024.

He's looking great in the gameplay video above, where he pulverises Ryu with some choice combos and mean-looking special attacks. You can have him become your mentor in World Tour mode, if you like, and have him teach you some badass moves. The character wraps up the first year of post-launch additions to the game, and alongside the fighter will come a major balance patch, making adjustments to every character.

Akuma will be immediately available to those with the special editions of the game or its ultimate or character passes. A new stage, Enma's Hollow, will also be available to those with the ultimate pass.

There's more information about Akuma on the PS Blog. Will you be checking out Akuma when he comes to Street Fighter 6 next month? Let us know in the comments section below.

I got rid of it a while ago as i find it really hard for some reason learning different characters in fighting games so just stuck with Ken until i hit a mental road block with him and just didnt feel i was improving and just got frustrated so sold it. Akuma tho i always used to main in every game he was in so i will buy it again now its cheaper and make an exception and force myself to play as him. He gets hairier with
