Akuma is coming to Street Fighter 6, and we got a full trailer of him at Evo Japan 2024. It’s not just a tease; we know when we can play as him — starting May 22nd.
In the trailer, we saw Akuma in action, showing off his classic moves and some new ones too. He’s got a bunch of cool tools in his arsenal like demon flips, flying supers, and teleports.
Bow down to the legend or be consumed by the demon. 😈

His new stage, Enma’s Hollow, looks dark and ominous, perfect for a character like Akuma.
One exciting thing about Akuma is that he’ll have more than 3 Super Arts. We saw his classic Raging Demon move in the trailer, separate from his regular supers. It’s not clear yet if there are special conditions to use it. Plus, he can use his Level 1 super, the Messatsu Gohado, on the ground and in the air.
If you’re a fan of Akuma’s classic look, don’t worry. He’ll have a nostalgia costume available too, so you can play as him in his old style.

His moves from Street Fighter 5 are back, including the updated Tatsu and Goshoryuken.
And Akuma’s got some new tricks up his sleeve. He can teleport to dodge attacks, then launch into a combo that ends with a teleport spike. It’s all pretty cool stuff for fans of the series!
